Title: Allah’s Revenge
Author: Pete Barber
Review: I didn’t
know what to expect from this book, but after reading the sample I decided to
jump in. This is a fast paced story of terrorism,
nano technology, genius and prejudice. The
story involves the Muslin rite of passage and a genius who Allah talked with
and told him to do his bidding(at least he though Allah talked with him.) The nano idea was fascinating and the idea of
making ethanol so easily out of garbage is what scientist are trying to figure
out today. Garbage being turned into
fuel is the dream of the future and yet could it be a plaque if it falls into
the wrong hands.
The deaths are pretty gruesome yet so interesting. An airborne chemical that can be timed to
kill so no one is there to be blamed.
Mass casualties, yet unexplained how they died. A subway car in London-
where all aboard are dead, a peace summit in Korea with high security- all
found dead. What’s next? I have to say that this book kept me turning
the pages and interested to the very end.
I loved the police inspector,
Quinn, he made the book and I hope to see more from this character.
This book is frightening when you think of what could be out there being developed
right now. A weapon that is microscopic,
yet can reproduce itself and do whatever it is coded to do. Nano technology that can change the world for
the better and yet can also be used to destroy the world. A great concept that will make you think
about the good and bad of this fast paced world we live in…this technology
could be just around the corner.
Give this mystery/thriller a chance and I don’t think you will be
disappointed.
This thriller is well worth the $2.99 Kindle price tag.

Synopsis: A religious rite dating back to the seventh
century inspires a young Muslim scientist and lights the fuse on a fast-paced,
thrill-ride of a novel populated by larger-than-life characters, cutting edge
technology, a hero you can root for, and villains you will love to hate. . .
An Arab genius creates a nanotechnology weapon capable of destroying the
human race and yet small enough to conceal on a hint of perfume. Recruited by
Allah's Revenge, a Palestinian terrorist organization, he triggers worldwide
panic when his weapon suffocates the passengers on a crowded London train in
ninety seconds, filling their lungs with hard, black charcoal.
Quinn, an English detective, is first on the scene. A British journalist
has a link to the terrorists, and Quinn uses him as bait to flush them out.
When their demands are not met, Allah's Revenge wipes out the world
leaders attending the G20 summit in South Korea, including the US Vice
President.
Quinn tracks the terrorists to their lair in Jerusalem and seems to have
the weapon under control, but it is unleashed again in Phoenix, Arizona, and
Quinn needs all his wits and courage to prevent a horde of nanobots from
decimating America.
Author
Biography: I was born into a blue-collar
family in Liverpool, England. Like my peers, I grew up working with my hands
until an uncanny aptitude for building computer software allowed me to trade
overalls and hard-hat for a suit and tie.
I immigrated to the US in the early 90s, became an American citizen, and
lived the American dream.
After twenty successful years in the corporate world, I turned my back on
eighty-hour weeks and quarterly results and bought a run-down, dog-friendly
motel in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. A close friend still refers to this
decision as a brain fart, but life is a one-time play, and no one can write,
and run a public company.
When the worlds of finance and real estate went stir-crazy in 2005, I
sold the business and moved to Lake Lure, North Carolina where, in addition to
helping my wife manage a small herd of llamas, I am, at last, fulfilling my
life's ambition to write speculative fiction.
