Reseña del libro "Desert Hunt (en Inglés)"
In the liberal oasis of Dubai, Al Qaeda plots to secure a suitcase nuke design that would have devastating and far-reaching consequences, while changing the rules of the terror game forever. When a top Hamas commander is assassinated in Dubai, a spectacular suicide attack is played out to avenge the killing, and, more importantly, to divert attention away from the nuke design deal. From then on, the breath-taking narrative keeps a torrid pace involving a wounded Al Qaeda honcho, Pakistani intelligence men, a mercurial Arab secret agent and American and Indian officers who act as backroom boys deftly pulling the strings from behind to thwart the terrorists. However, Al Qaeda still manages to conclude the deal for the nuke design. In the nail-biting climax, can the cops stop the renegades from leaving Dubai? With the fate of the world clearly at stake, failure is simply not conceivable. Desert Hunt is a gripping suspense novel that centers on the growing threat of terrorism around the world and, particularly, in the Middle East. This is a story waiting to happen, as it broaches a real threat in an exciting and original way. A fast-paced thriller set in one of the most exotic and volatile locations in the world, this tantalizing novel offers a frightening fresh perspective on emerging terror scenarios. Possessing shocking realism and a foreboding sense of the future, it is one of the most exciting novels in contemporary times. Author K.S.R. Menon banks on his many years' experience in the region as a news agency journalist to craft a credible, exciting tale that draws readers in from the first words. Offering a unique and informed perspective on a sensitive geopolitical environment that remains disordered, extremely uncertain, and insecure, this thriller is a welcome entry in the genre, while also being one of the most alarming.
