I really liked this one as well. It’s been about a year since I read it, though, and I hope Benedek has something else in the works. I think she could be BIG in this genre.
Wow Jenn… sounds like it was really researched and well done. Not sure if this genre is for me. Thanks for the review. It sounds like a very “real” portrayal of events that could happen. Definitely sounds “heart pounding.”
Just dropped by the blog and wanted to say in response to Becky–thanks for your kind words!! Yes, I’m just finishing up another book, in which my heroes, Morgan, Marie and Julian, try to interfere with Iran’s development of the bomb. If anyone has any questions about Red Sea–don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll hang around for a few days. Thanks again!!
This sounds like a scary one…
I recently read this one for the tour as well and was quite impressed. I look forward to reading more by the author.
