A Man Called Blessed

by Ted Dekker & Bill Bright

4.07 of 5 stars 4.07 · rating details · 2,168 ratings in GoodReads!

One man holds the key to finding the Ark of the Covenant.

In this explosive sequel to "Blessed Child," Rebecca Soloman leads a team deep into the Ethiopian desert to hunt the one man who may know the final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. But Islamic extremists fear that the Ark's discovery will compel Israel to rebuild Solomon's temple on the very site of their own holy mosque in Jerusalem.

They immediately dispatch Ismael, their most accomplished assassin, to pursue the same man. But the one in their sights is no ordinary man. His name is Caleb, and he is also on a quest--to find again the love he embraced as a child

Personal Opinion: Interesting but not the great novel I thought it was!

Personal rating. From 2.5 to 3 stars

The Kill List

by Frederick Forsyth

A master story teller at his best.

My rating: 4 stars

In Virginia, there is an agency bearing the bland name of Technical Operations Support Activity, or TOSA. Its one mission is to track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short document known as the Kill List. TOSA actually exists. So does the Kill List.

Added to it is a new name: a terrorist of frightening effectiveness called the Preacher, who radicalizes young Muslims abroad to carry out assassinations. Unfortunately for him, one of the kills is a retired Marine general, whose son is TOSA’s top hunter of men.

Very relevant subject, see here.

DAN BROWN's INFERNO

inferno.jpg

I've recently read it too. And I've found that Brown is sort of running short of new ideas. At least he is repeating the same formula of his previous successful novels but that no longer surprises me. -_-

In return, Amir feels a great respect for his father's best friend Rahim Khan, who supports his intention to become a writer. After Amir winning a competition of kitting, Hassan runs to bring a kite to Amir, but he is beaten and raped by the brutal Assef in an empty street to protect Amir's kite; the coward Amir witness the assault but does not help the loyal Hassam. On the day after his birthday party, Amir hides his new watch in Hassam's bed to frame the boy as a thief and force his father to fire Ali, releasing his conscience from recalling his cowardice and betrayal.
