The Infidel by Bob Shepherd

Absolutely loved the drama and the excitement right till the end. I don't want to divulge details and spoil it for any readers but I loved the attention to detail especially of the Afghan/Pathan culture nuance displayed by Bob. He has successfully managed to capture most of the features of the Afghan race for me, loyalty, honour, Islam, and family and clan ties. The whole novel kept me guessing and on the edge. I loved the end as well as I thought it also reflected the proper attitude of the Afghans. This novel is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the Pathan race. The only slightly challenging bits for me were the battle and weapon details etc which are difficult for someone with limited combat experience. I would recommend this novel with Bob's other master piece called the 'Good Jihadist.'
