Summary: Hold onto your seat
Review: This exciting novel puts an unusual twist on a subject that is on all our minds -- international terrorism. The action is centered on a beautiful island in the Caribbean where horror lurks. I would guess that Leeward is set somewhere in the 1980s and 1990s but it doesn't really matter. This is a fast-moving thriller involving a number of different people with different nationalities and backgrounds. They are bound together in a common purpose: to defeat the apparently unconquerable Organization. The book is loaded with horror, tragedy, love and hate and is hard to put down -- you never know what's going to happen next. A cool read.
