Review
'Paul Adam takes you to the high Himalayas of Tibet where few novelists or readers have gone before. A truly entertaining and intelligent adventure tale told by a master storyteller. FLASH POINT is wonderfully plotted, fast-paced and refreshingly original.' Nelson DeMille **For SHADOW CHASERS: 'Tough, worldly Euro-thriller . Highly effective, undoubtedly authentic.' Philip Oakes ** for GENESIS II 'Very exciting, very scary.' - Lit. Review
Book Description
Maggie Walsh, a freelance photo-journalist with a penchant for dangerous situations, receives a tip that the Dalai Lama is dead. In McLeod Ganj, home of the Tibetan community in exile, she confirms the truth of the tip, but before she can get out with her photographs, she is apprehended. While detained, she gets to know a young monk, and when he announces he is going into Tibet to follow the oracle to find the Dalai Lama's reincarnation, she persuades him to take her with him. It is the beginning of an extraordinary physical and spiritual adventure as they first locate the newly born child, and then attempt to return to McLeod Ganj without alerting the Chinese.

Wonderfully original, Aug 25 2004
By Determined dog rescuer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flash Point (Hardcover)
This intriguing novel offers insight into Tibet and its Chinese occupation as well Buddhism. It is original and exciting as Maggie, a British camera woman, accompanies three monks on their quest for the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. Very well done and definitely makes me want to read Paul Adams' other works.

Readers should be aware that this is the same novel as "Oracle Lake." This is the British edition. See my review of "Oracle Lake."
