  4. I have always enjoyed books that are based in other parts of the world This book did a great job describing people and places in China Although I have never been there, the descriptions were detailed enough that it was obvious the author had spent time there I felt as if I was walking down the streets and experiencing it all for myself The story was exciting and kept me entertained and on edge for most the book The story is about an LDS American judge who under covers a terrorist plot while on a [...]

  9. Having worked in China, I find the characterizations of the people and the country to be accurate and very believable The action is fast paced and compelling The cooperation between the USA and the PRC may be idealistic at the moment but realistic in the sense that terrorism is a common enemy of both.
