Another entrant in the current crop of terrorist inspired novels, The Ultimate Game comes with a unique twist.

A mastermind is playing Islamic terrorists off against Western intelligence services in a race to find components from an ex-Soviet missile, in order to make a nuclear bomb. In most non-fiction, some credibility is an advantage and aspects of this plot are a bit too far-fetched. Also, the author got some of his facts wrong, describing a Hercules as a jet!

However, the storyline development is very good with plenty of non-stop action, a real cliff hanger finish and an unexpected twist at the end to keep the reader involved.
