This ebook was provided to Bex 'n' Books in exchange for an HONEST and not necessarily positive review. Review by John Martin Lest the Dew Rust Them; by Michael Drakich. The book has good & bad points; the concept behind it is quite good, especially in the light of the recent horrific event in the UK, with terrorists out to scare middle America with small scale atrocities, a series of beheadings. The group is not too well explained & appears to be a random mix of of members, with no real political aim and a couple of them in it just for the kicks! The book contains a number of historical references which actually take up a quarter of the book & while interesting, I feel the space would have been better used to flesh out the characters; some of which are fairly well drawn, but others are very two dimensional, more stereotypes than anything else. If you like the style of book written by Robert Ludlum or Eric Van Lustbader then this may well be for you, I would just have liked the book to be longer to allow more depth to be added to the plot & allow the final scenes to feel less rushed. In fact to me it reads a bit like a screenplay, with more to be added in production. Reviewed June 10th.
