I just finished reading Allah’s Fire by Chuck Holton and Gayle Roper. This inspirational novel focuses on a Special Ops soldier and an American reporter in Lebanon.
John, the soldier, works with his team to locate and shut down the manufacturers of an undetectable type of explosive that was used to bomb a hotel in Beirut. Liz, the reporter, is trying to find her sister, presumed dead in the blast.
Once I got into the book, it was easy to keep going. I enjoyed how brave, even though usually foolish, Liz was. She was willing to venture unaccompanied, at night, into a refugee camp in Lebanon. It was interesting how the authors did not put John and Liz into the same scenes until midway into the book. This way, they were able to carefully craft their backgrounds and storylines.
I would recommend this book if you are interested in an inspirational-romance that takes place in the Middle East. I also look forward to reading the sequel, Island Inferno, by Chuck Holton.
