“The Assassin” by Stephen Coonts

Book - The Aassasin

It seems that lately my reading has taken a back seat to some year-end computer projects. Hopefully I can get on to doing more reading and getting more reviews posted.

BACKGROUND AND REVIEW: This is the 11th book in Coonts’ Jake Grafton and Tommy Carmellini series. For some reason that I find hard to explain, I didn’t quite like it as much as some of the previous one’s that I have read. Maybe it was because some of the usual depth and detail just didn’t seem to be there. However, I still thought it was very good read and still give it a strong [4-Stars]

DESCRIPTION: When an old friend asks the President of the United States to name a warrior to lead a private war on the masterminds of terror, the president sends Jake Grafton, who takes along his loyal lieutenant, Tommy Carmellini. Al Queda general Abu Qasim soon learns what is afoot, and decides to terrorize the bankers and industrialists who are making war on him. Tommy is up to his eyes in beautiful women and corpses as he tries to piece together the puzzle and keep Grafton’s friends alive. But who is killing whom? With bombs ticking, bullets flying, and blood flowing, Tommy and Jake close in on Abu Qasim, who has one last nasty trick up his sleeve, one he’s been planning for years.
