Well, this was my first Alex Berenson novel.... and I am definitely hooked. "The Perfect Soldier" starts fast and does not slow down until the last page. As a reader, you become captivated by the evolving plot and it becomes difficult to put the book down. Perfect for a summer day with a cold glass. Berenson defines his story characters with sophistication, and one can actually "walk" in the shoes of the different personalities. Descriptions of events / feelings are vivid enough to enable you to visualize the setting quite easily. The book also sets the stage for the next segment (due in early 2012).
After finishing this book, I ordered and read the other books that Alex Berenson authored. I found the same interesting plots, fast moving action and believable scenarios that apply to the post 9/11 reality.
