No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
One Monday, Robert Halliday receives a bomb threat in the mail. Two days later, the bomb arrives--accompanied by an offer of employment from one Karliss Zander, an international fixer. Unless Halliday agrees to help him edit the memoirs of a 19th century Russian terrorist and ghostwrite an expose of modern terrorist governments, Zander will detonate the bomb. For the sake of self-preservation, Halliday joins the project--but quickly discovers that Zander requires more than mere literary assistance: He and his daughter are in mortal peril from a Middle Eastern terrorist group. Now tangled in this massive international web of danger, Halliday wonders if it wouldn't have been far less painful if that bomb had just gone off.
