Book Reviews of The Secret War in South Asia
Book Review: Secret War - Another Excellent Page-Turner
Summary: 5 Stars
Malensek's sophomore effort not only shows the continued growth of this young and talented author, but hits another out of the park homerun with a storyline ripped straight from today's headlines, believable characters, and a pace that won't let you put the book down.Scott's prose is reminiscent of a young Clancy (back when he wasn't getting paid by the word). He spices his narratives with just enough technical and military information to keep readers without these backgrounds aware, informed, and interested, but does not take it to the extreme of bogging down, like so many tech-thriller writers of today.
His work is easy to read, flows well, and carries the reader along at a rate that will leave one looking for more when the last page is reached. An excellent yarn, both relevant and eye-opening. This writer is one to expect great things from in the future.
Summary of The Secret War in South Asia
A medium-sized terrorist group, The Protectors of the Koran, attacks a church in Islamabad, Pakistan, and a domino effect of political unrest follows. Eventually, U.S. Marines, Pakistani military units, and portions of the Army?s elite 82nd Airborne Division have to be called to the scene. Small-scale commando raids are executed throughout the area, and the world watches as a nuclear war looms between India and Pakistan. The entire web of terrorist activity and the battleaxe of military action all stem from the findings of a single data-entry clerk at America?s Office of Homeland Security.Literature & Fiction Books
