Though this is fiction (thank God!) it could so easily not be, and that's the point. In this book, we readers are treated as deserving of education on terrorism. It makes a refreshing change to media opiates. It is also an essential one.
But Mr Keimach still manages to deliver that elusive mix of information and entertainment. What better way to get the message across? Well done!

Suicide String should be required reading for President Bush et al. The story is plausible, if a bit frightening, and the writing is smooth and fluid. When I finished, I felt better informed. I found myself thirsting for knowledge about an extremly complex subject. The book has stimulated me to seek out facts and figures. But at the end of the day because I understand a little more, I am also terrified and watch the news alerts like a hawk.

I couldn't put the book down, so appalled was I to learn about what happens in the production of foie gras. I had no idea about all the gory details.It's a thoroughly nasty business carried on by totally nasty people interested only in money. The quthor makes that quite clear. Well done!

If you're not vegetarian, you might at least give it some serious thought after reading Gascon Feathers. Mr Keimach knows what he's talking about and sketches out not only the horror show carried out on ducks, but what happens to the humans who engage in extreme cruelty to animals. It's a real eye-opener!

By weaving the background to the Mid East impasse in a sharply written novel, Burt Keimach has succeeded in convincing me that terrorism is the number one disease infecting mankind. It's an enjoyable read, well worth the time. When I did put it down I felt both well-informed and entertained.

I never realized the depth of horror and terrorism that's out there until reading Suicide String. This makes you understand that the terror alert should be set at maximum for all time!
