Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A page-turning novel about the subsequent battlefront in the war on terror from New York Times best-selling author, Kenneth R. Timmerman. Israeli intelligence picks up the departure of a mysterious cargo ship from Iran, while half-way across the world, a Muslim-American girl is found dead in suburban Maryland. The two events appeared to be worlds apart. But they were not. Major Danny Wilkens, the U.S. government's top Iran analyst, becomes convinced that the cargo ship is part of an Iranian scheme to kill millions of Americans. But incompetent bureaucrats and a broken CIA force him to go outside the system, where he puts his career and even his marriage on the line in order to stop its relentless trajectory toward America. FBI Special Agent Michael Brannigan is perplexed by the 'honor killing' of a Muslim girl. But it's only when his investigation is shut down by G-girl Joanna Greary that he discovers a sordid underworld of steamy sex, corrupt government officials, and local Muslim leaders who have exploited America's loose immigration laws for terror. In this fast-paced Washington novel of spies, faith, betrayal, and lust, New York Times best-selling author Kenneth R. Timmerman tells a story so chilling that it had to be kept out of the newspapers. Is there really a spy for the terrorists who has acess to the highest reaches of the United States government, including the White House? Have our intelligence agencies become so bureaucratic and corrupt they can no longer act when a clear and present danger appears? Is Iran's master-terrorist at work today, probing our weaknesses? Is the American Muslim community giving shelter to deadly enemies? Timmerman takes us from underground hide-outs in Iran to beach-side bars in the British Virgin Islands, from the port of Maracaibo to a shoot-out in Dubai. He brings us smooth Mossad operators, CIA bumblers and a Persian beauty named Aryana, who uses a computer company in California as a front for clandestine operations inside Iran. As the Iranians get ever closer to our shores, readers are in for a surprising climax that may have many of them down on their knees.

Oh sure, it's a good story, and oh sure, it's a fun one-evening read, but the reviewer who complained about technical errors just scratched the surface. I have never seen so many errors in ordinary English spelling and grammar as this book has---it has never seen a copy-editor. From needing a peak [peek?] at a document to suffering a balling [bawling?] out by his boss, it wouldn't get past English 1A at any decent school. I found about twenty before I stopped counting. All the misspellings are real words, so they pass, but they are the wrong words, and spell checkers don't know the difference.

The "bones" of this effort by a fine non-fiction writer, is almost lost in the laugh inducing plethora of major errors regarding almost all aspects of this story involving weapons. "Clips" "rammed" into revolvers and safeties taken off weapons that are not equiped with them, as well as individual ownership and usage of suppressors(silencers)and selection of Bulgarian pistols, scorned by almost anyone except for lower level gangbangers for personal use by implied Spec Ops types; scream for Mr.Timmerman to please, please buy a local weapons savvy policeman or Agent a drink and simply ask what is real and what is story ruining.
Several times, I came close to deep sixing this book, because of the not so subtle insinuation of religion into the story, where it clearly does not belong, and blatant errors involving guns. (Loose rounds for an auto pistol? I dont think so.)
Thirty four years of law enforcement allows me to utilize these comments.
Ten years of active military service acts as an underpining for them as well.
I will give a pass on Mr.Timmermans subsequent work and save myself some inappropriate laughs.

While you're reading "Honor Killing," one side of your brain says, "Nah, this could never happen." But simultaneously, the other side of your brain says, "Oh, yes it can." It is a rare book that can make yor head do that. Admittedly, I'm of the "yes it can" persuasion and have read Timmerman's non-fiction, but the novel is excellent reading for both sides. He plumbs post-9-11 interagency rivalry and technology in the hands of the bad guys (the good guys rely more on luck and dedication). The bad guys are REALLY scary because they are thoughtful and careful -- Timmerman has history here and it shows. The good guys might be just a little "too good" and a little too good looking. Neither side of your brain will want to put the book down until the end.
