Season's readings
The Orange County Register
Editor's note: Editorial writers Alan Bock and Mark Landsbaum offer their recommendations for gifts –
or just good reading – this holiday season. They're touting everything from a spy novel
(by a Sacramento lobbyist) to a classical music recording analysis to books
about the public policy issues we're usually immersed in.
•••
This is a spy thriller set in the present about a set of circumstances that is all too realistic. At the same time that an Iranian-led team of terrorists is plotting to set off a radiation-heavy "dirty bomb" in Los Angeles, a U.S. team is working clandestinely inside Iran to set up what looks like a Chernobyl-style "accident" at a secret nuclear weapons site to discredit and set back the Iranian nuclear program and foment unrest against the government. We're taken through the training and back stories of the various operatives on all sides, and they emerge as reasonably full-bodied characters rather than stick figures in an action plot.
The book is so intricately plotted and credibly researched that it is difficult to believe that this is a first book for the author, a labor lobbyist in Sacramento. Like any number of spy stories, this is a diversion that will hold your attention, but will also be informative for most readers, especially as to just how vulnerable the United States, and particularly its ports, still is after a half-dozen years of bureaucratic "homeland security" efforts. – Alan W. Bock
