Bravery.Dedication.
Skill.
Belief.
Manipulation.
Heroics.
Sacrifice.
Patriotism.
These are but some of the emotions on display in this fast paced and well written book, Eleventh Hour by S. Hussain Zaidi.
This thriller novel unravels a terrorist plot and the manhunt that ensues to stop the terrorist and protect their country.
The book is so well written, that it might as well be a movie plot. Fast paced, action sequences, suspense, romance, tragedy, an ensemble of interesting characters makes this a very enjoyable read.
Its rare for a book to grip you from the first page, but this book literally does exactly that. Jumps straight in the thick of the action like an opening scene of a Bond Movie.
What I liked about S. Hussain Zaidi is that he neither defended, glorified or criticized the terrorists and religion in any way which was refreshing. All too often we see writers incorporate their personal feelings into the stories and in effect take sides. And I am not even referring to whether the good guys win at the end or not.
Another interesting aspect is the intelligence, planning, resourcefulness and organizing by the terrorists. All too often they are showcased as gun slinging people happy to kill innocents randomly, but what is often over seen is their meticulous planning, their strategies etc. Makes one wonder how they can evade and outsmart the official defense agencies so routinely so often.
Overall a very well written book that will definitely leave you satisfied at the end of it. A true page turner that is a good, quick read.
