Entertaining, but a bit stereotypical

We all remember (or some of us, who are old enough, do) the series by Maj Sjovall and Per Wahloo from back in the seventies, but since there have only been a couple of writers. Lately, though, it seems every second book ...

Doubleday, 2008
Excellent gritty tale
+ A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars:
Intelligent, thought-provoking, and well-told thriller grounded firmly in the political landscape around us. Definitely worth a read, as it will ignite thought and conversation for a while afterward.

Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps!
and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book.
Pitiful.
Specially from the ones ...
