Interesting ,Provocative,Flawed,
By
This review is from: Active Measures (Paperback)
A Physician who moonlights as an Assassin. Interesting. An exposee of a friendly governments treatment of its refugee "problem", provocative. A look into the power elites solution to this problem ,interesting and hopefully flawed. This is just one layer of this onion though. (I won't give it away to the readers who are actually reading this as a hint as to whether to buy this book.)But, suffice it to say the deeper the main character gets into this onion,the more rotten it becomes.Extremely Provovative. I was unsure as to the purpose of this book though . Was it written as an excuse to uncover and expose this rottenness or, merely telling a tale in a "damn the torpedoes ,straight ahead" style . There are some factual errors that belie very flawed research ,you'll see them referred to if you read the other reviews.Also you'll find some plot jumping,and the odd credibility gap.But its that "Extremely Provocative" layer of the onion that make this worth a read. And I'll give one hint here ,its not the Swedes who end up with the blackest eye. Would be glad to hear from any Swedish people regarding the true situation in your country regarding refugees.I'm aware that is a problem in several European nations.

Active Measures by Alexander Court is an exciting book. From the very beginning, I found the story intriguing and informative. I look forward to Alison Carter's next mission.

Beach Side Reading,
By "sharonrovner" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Active Measures (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I picked it up in an airport for an East to West Coast flight. It is a fun thriller that takes an interesting historical premise and pushes it to the limit. A lot of Swedish readers seem offended, but this makes the book more intriguing. Is there truth to the author's claims? Is he getting close to a touchy subject? There are a few editing mistakes, but sadly, what modern book doesn't have them. This book is a solidly good political thriller. It is there to be enjoyed, not to be scrutinized as reference material.
