If head-hopping bothers you, this will be a pass. It has a thriller's pace with quick dialogue and action. What I found most interesting while reading this was comparing the technology of 20 years ago with today's in terms of computer use, cell phones, surveillance, and the lack of a TSA.
After I finished (when I could breathe again), I was wondering, there's more than one way to skin a cat. The only flaw I could find in the book was, the terrorist never made it clear what he wanted. He seemed to want authority. The hero cleverly seeks out the terrorist so he can shoot him. For argument's sake, let's say the terrorist wanted to become ruler of the US. But maybe they could have dealt with it by asking the terrorist, ok, say you do become ruler, how will you keep your hold on power? Once you are ruler, you can't sneak around hiding bombs or poisoning people, so what will you do to keep yourself alive the day after you take power? Maybe you can't reason with a nut, and of course the American way is always, "run `em down and shoot `em" (Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq, New Orleans). But it's an interesting idea.
Forget the interesting idea, just read the book! It is a real thriller.
