Plenty of really good books with worse ratings, so not bad at all. Though most of the books I've looked at are in relatively obscure non-fiction. (Like Andrei Lankov's book on north korea, pretty short but highly recommended. Probably one of the best on the subject, as far as I've seen until now.)

Back on the wrong side of 100k. To keep the initial momentum going, I will hold a raffle for a $50 Amazon Gift Certificate (or equivalent in your currency). Anyone from the ED and SimHQ forums who emails a receipt for the book to wouldutrade[at]gmail is eligible. I will draw for the winner Sunday January the 15th.

 

Thanks all for the support guys, and anyone a good-ways into the book, please put up a review blurb.

Another review up! Come on guys, I really need your help here to get some sales. Every purchase helps!

 

"Tarek's greatest gift may be his ear, which allows him to pick up a tremor of fear in the softest voice or a false note in any exchange of words and play with them to his heart's content. He can therefore create, in dialogue, a trembling soundscape that has a pitch-perfect quality. His characters are often their voices as much as they are their physical selves, revealed not by what they say but how they say it. And in his hands, language has become a barometer of decay. A cast of spies, the innocents entangled in their machinations, and - home-grown political fixers and posers, all seem to succumb to a way of thinking and talking that tells its own story: as if the betrayal at the heart of the book is part of a degradation in everything around them, even their language. So jump on this tale of intrigue across the middle east and you will not regret it."

Apologies for all the pimping, but I really want some of you guys to give this a read. #24,917 on Amazon now, and in preliminary talks to adapt into movie!
