Agency Rules, Never
An Easy Day at the Office by Khalid Muhammad is a taut, political thriller
set in modern-day Pakistan. Our
protagonist, Kamal, possesses a strong sharp mind, terrific sniper skills, and
a deep desire to improve his country, all while trying to stay alive among the treacherous
subversive groups fighting for control of the country, where dishonesty, torture,
and mistrust are rampant. Who can he
trust?
This is not the
kind of book I usually like to read. I
like to escape into a book and pretend this kind of stuff never happens. This is not an unbelievable James Bond-type
spy thriller. This is life in a harsh
and cruel world with extremely manipulative and brutal political groups. But the strong, believable characters that
drive the suspenseful and gripping plot hooked me. The story flows well and unfolds into a heated
action thriller. Hats off to Khalid Muhammad for this quick-moving, realistic,
eye-opening heart-pounder.
