Once again some top of the line entertainment from Jon Land. Palestinian American detective Ben Kamal and Israeli detective Danielle Barnea meet up again in this outstanding adventure. Holocaust survivors are being murdered. A labor camp escapee and New York billionaire loses a son to an assassin. High school students start mysteriously dying. This novel covers a lot of territory as most of it begins in the Middle East slowly spreading to Europe and ending in New York. Biological research as well as secrets of the holocaust are just a couple of the things involved in this top of the line adventure. Jon Land has created a vivid novel with colorful characters and locales, with surprises in store at every turn. Keep it up Jon, you're on my 'A' list.Highly recommended.

Once again, Jon Land has weaved a web of mystery, action, history, and drama in such magnificent fashion that it is impossible to put it down until you have read the entire book...twice! I have been following Jon's career closely since it began nearly twenty years ago with the Doomsday Spiral, and have watched the style of his writing and the quality of his characters grow with each successive novel. After publishing a series of books staring such action-packed duos as Blaine McCracken and Johnny Wareagle, and Jared Kimberlain and Winston Peete, Jon has taken a different turn with his latest heroes, Ben Kamal and Danielle Barnea. This fourth installment in the Kamal/Barnea series shows the couple battling present day terrorists and ghosts from Nazi Germany. Keepers of the Gate also contains an incredible description of near-future medical science that only Jon Land's imagination could have created. A trademark quality in many of Jon's books is the introduction of something astonishing, something just outside the scope of the reader's imagination, such as a laser that utilizes water particles, or a cure for air pollution that is bastardized into a world-threatening weapon. Jon also creates characters that stir emotions and leave the reader breathless with worry, fear, and anticipation. If this is your first Jon Land Novel, I suggest you begin here and work your way back to the Doomsday Spiral. If you are like me, and anxiously await your annual Jon Land fix, you will not be disappointed!!!
