Completed the book "The Afgan " by Fredrick Forsyth . One of those books that has you biting your nails till the very end . I was surprised to see some characters in his story belonging to Kerala,India. Not sure why he chose this part of India though . The initial chapters were a drag but as the story progressed it was truly gripping .

The book is about a British war veteran Mike Martin infiltrating into the AQ( you know who ) terrorist group to gain information about their operation named Al-Isra.Only in the last 2 or 3 chapters do the readers as well as the hero Mike Martin know what Al-Isra is all about .

Forsyth seems to be one of those writers who goes into minute details about the technical aspects of the tools used in espionage/spying/military operations .

I am going to read some more of his books now .
