Face Of Our Father
This novel has it all. One part "The Bourne Identity," one part "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," and one part "The Notebook," this poignant tale leaves the reader haunted by its characters long after the novel's final page has turned. Stuart and Angela Pierce, like many disillusioned careerists, are busy reinventing their lives. Stu reduces his airline flying schedule to train for triathlons, while Angie escapes the daily horrors of a prosecutor’s job to pursue pro bono work. But death threats soon prove that the only thing Angie escaped was the protective arm of the District Attorney’s office. With a graphic photo of a ritual stoning Stu’s only tangible clue, he sets out to protect a wife who refuses to protect herself. Obsessed with catching a murdering rapist, Angie plunges them both into a web of global intrigue. But who, indeed what, is the real enemy? Honor. Love. Life. All are at stake as the Pierces struggle to uncover the truth, both the enemy’s, and their own. Sometimes the biggest enemy can be the one right next to you… FACE OF OUR FATHER is too literary to be a thriller, yet too thrilling to put down—a unique blend of action and intimacy—a thriller with a soul. How often does fiction change how we define integrity, prejudice, and evil? To get at all that, a novel needs a rollercoaster of a plot coupled with an acute understanding of identity, love, and where these intersect. Test your beliefs. Read it.
One issue with reviewing is that when you judge a book you also judge yourself, and maybe here I fail, but I found this book hard going. It starts with a prologue, and I found the prologue to be well-written and interesting, but later I found the prologue had nothing to do with the story, other than how a purse got buried in the sand. The story is based around three groups: a prince of the Saudi realm, a group of Afghanis who wish to terrorize the US, and a couple, Angie and Stu. Angie

Interesting book thoughtfully written.
G. Egore Pitirs novel is an exploration of how personal emotions and world-wide events can shape and change each other. The hectic pace of his novel keeps his American and Afghan characters in constant movement and under constant pressure. Sometimes the pacing is very effective; crises really feel like crises to the reader, and the excitement of how protagonists will figure out what to do and how to respond is absorbing. At other times, chapters seem a bit artificial as families and personal
This is a complex story that will force you to rethink. Stu and Angie have been married for 25 years and raised two children, but something seems to have gone out of their relationship. Stu suspects Angie is keeping secrets and its tearing him apart. Kashir, Hosaam, and Abbud have been trained by their Mullah in Afghanistan to hate and wage war against Americans, but are their motives simply a matter of training and can they follow through with the slaughter of innocents?

When I first picked up Face of Our Father, I had no idea of the treasure that awaited me. To call it a modern thriller is practically a misnomer - it is thrilling, but it is also far more than this suggests. This book is deeply and consistently intriguing - I read the whole of it in two sittings - and never did I find it predictable. At every turn, this book is unconfined by generic tropes and expectations, and this made it a true pleasure to read.What was perhaps even more pleasantly surprising

The pacing and plot of this book is so intricate and intriguing that it could almost be considered more literary than a thriller. Set in recent times, the plot revolves around several disparate views, all centered in the American Muslim conflict. On one hand, the story begins its tale around a trio of young zealots, led by a fevered disciple whose only desire is to seek vengeance against American GIs whose bombs killed his mother. Leading younger men whose families suffered similar losses, theyOne issue with reviewing is that when you judge a book you also judge yourself, and maybe here I fail, but I found this book hard going.
