The Good Son Zusammenfassung

The Good Son Michael Gruber

A son
once a child warrior in the mujhadeen's struggle against the Soviets, once a Delta Force soldier, now a covert operative in the USA's secret War Against Terror in Pakistan. His name is legend among the tribes of Pashtun.

A mother
held hostage in the mountain fastness of North West Pakistan. With a long-standing fatwah hanging over her, her execution is a certainty. She knows she can't out-fight her captors, but can she out-think them?

A family
prepared to do whatever it takes to protect its own, whatever the cost, even if it means unleashing a nightmare that could engulf the world in flames.

THE GOOD SON
A provocative, high-stakes thriller that moves from the subterranean corridors of Washington DC to the backstreets of Lahore to the high mountains of the Hindu Kush, tackling the collision of Islam and the West head on with a high-octane mixture of CIA and NSA tradecraft, Sharia law and Sufi mysticism.

The Good Son Bewertungen

The good son - update biblio with quotes?'The brilliant character development and labyrinthine plot line, not to mention the absorbing history of modern jihadism and the U.S. war on terrorism, make this a provocative thriller that readers won't soon forget' * Publishers Weekly *
The good son - update biblio with quotes?'Is there anything Gruber can't write about? In this richly layered tale... there are twists and tension aplenty-ideas, too. If only governments were half as interested in the psychology of violence, maybe war itself might become a work of fiction.' * Booklist *
Gruber... weaves threads together masterfully while successfully exploring themes of family, duty, loyalty, cultural identity and more, without ever slowing the momentum. Smart, tense and vastly entertaining. * Kirkus *
The good son - update biblio with quotesGruber has established an enviable reputation as a writer who both challenges readers' minds and stirs up their blood. His latest high-stakes thriller-good from start to finish-will enhance this reputation... there are many surprises in this excellent thriller, including its ability to inform * Library Journal *
