From Publishers Weekly
The plot of Seymour's skilled thriller could be a contemporary headline—"Al Qaeda Terrorist Escapes; Allies Pursue Through Desert"—but it wouldn't communicate the depth and density of the novel, which gets so deep under the skin of its characters that it's more impressive for its portraits of people caught in thorny situations than it is for its race-against-the-clock suspense story. The narrative begins with a man named Caleb, aka Abu Khaleb, fleeing to the mountains of Afghanistan. Captured by American soldiers, he passes himself off as a taxi driver pining to get back to his family. Released after nearly two years at Guantánamo, this so-called "peasant from up-country" escapes from the soldiers taking him back to Kabul. Gradually, Seymour reveals the truth: this everyman is a terrorist mastermind, and the family he seeks to return to is his al-Qaeda cell, which plans to use him as the triggerman for a dirty bomb targeted for a major city. Pursuing this British-born terrorist with his "shitty little heart filled with hate" are crackerjack American pilots of unmanned planes, Marty and Lizzie-Jo, as well as British spook Eddie Wroughton, who's squeezing a spineless doctor for info, among others. Although his plot simmers more than boils, Seymour (The Untouchable; Killing Ground; etc.) offers an engrossing and thought-provoking look at an all-too-possible crisis.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Hidden in the vastness of the world's greatest desert- the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia- a tiny caravan of fugitives and camels moves slowly towards its goal. Deep in the sands are the men they seek, the leaders of Al Qaeda, hunted, pursued and regrouping to strike again. One man in the caravan stands out. His strength and self- imposed discipline mark him. What drives him on is his obsessive quest to rejoin his family- the leadership of Al Qaeda- for whom he will kill without mercy or conscience. Searching for him in the limitless sands are American and British experts in counter- terrorism with a full range of sophisticated electronics. But he is no easy prey. If they fail to find and kill him the Outsider will disappear again, before re- emerging in a teeming Western city with a suitcase that will create havoc and death when it is detonateda.
