Often thriller readers are forced to choose between an espionage or a military action book. In Lion of God, Stephan England delivers the best of both worlds seamlessly as readers are given front row seats to the old spymasters’ deliberations and then in the next chapter are thrown down in the sand and rocks, dodging incoming fire, with operators who have been sent to complete the mission. This book is a fantastic blending of my two favorite thriller genres and I cannot wait for the next installment of this series.
Set in 2000 during the Middle East peace talk of the time, a single event of barbarism threatens to derail the entire process. While outwardly working towards a lasting peace with the Palestinians, or at least a pause in the hostilities, a kidon team is tasked with avenging their dead… in the shadows.
Bureaucracy, betrayal, and blood all mix in this heart racing story. England’s writing is world class, pacing is perfect, and characters are carefully crafted. Fans of Daniel Silva and Ward Larsen will thoroughly enjoy this book.
