Content

What is most impressive about this novel is Foden’s knowledge and the additional research he must have done for this book. He knows a great deal about East Africa, and there are sensuous descriptions of skies, seas and flora. He knows about marine life, about boats and diving apparatus, about the structure of the United States intelligence services and some of the methods they use, and about Al-Qaeda. (Ralph Blumenau)
