Book Review - The Libyan Diversion - By Joel C. Rosenburg - Publication Date: 16 May 2023


 Nine-Eleven-type terror courses through the pages of this mystery cum thriller.  Marcus Ryker, is the main intelligence chap jet-setting globally to ferret out and pre-empt fanatically radical moves terrorists make against those they hate.  He, himself, not left physically unscathed, perseveres.  Yes, this work by author Joel C. Rosenburg, has strong nail-biting lure but I did feel it was a bit too much of a copycat scenario of Osama bin Laden-like staging.  Nevertheless, I would recommend this to those who like to see justice done to terroists and to see behind-the-scenes politics, not only among "friendly" intelligence groups but even the give and take between countries who are usually not very good friends.  Another point that sets favorably with me is the injections of Christian faith elements; little tweaks but enough to win me over.  Therefore, the toss up between 3-4 stars, came out as 4.
