With War in the title, you would think that these two books will be similar. But, they are not so. Jaspar’s War by Cym Lowell is personal while Holy War by Mike Bond is global.
Jaspar’s War
Genre: Mystery & Thrillers, Romance
Description
Greenwich, Connecticut socialite Jaspar Moran has it all—a magnificent estate, two beautiful children and a loving husband, Trevor, serving as the Secretary of the Treasury. Protected, admired and living in the lap of luxury, Jaspar is reeling from the news that his government jet has crashed just as her children vanish without a trace.
An ominous message warns her to keep silent about her husband’s role in the President’s economic plan. Or else.
Determined to save her children, she’ll go to hell and back, form alliances with assassins, traitors and Mafioso, and commit unspeakable acts—if that’s what it takes. With alarms sounding around the world, hunted from all sides, and unsure of who to trust, she finds herself depending on a mysterious figure without an identity.
Jaspar journeys from the Australian outback to the palazzos of Rome, the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, and to the magnificence of the Vatican, in her quest. Can she rescue her children before the plot to crash the global economy is unleashed?
Holy War
Genre: Literature/Fiction (Adult), Mystery & Thrillers
The Battle of Beirut is a maelstrom of deadly hatreds and frantic love affairs, of explosions, snipers and ambushes. Neill, a journalist on a secret mission for the British MI6 Intelligence agency, is seeking Mohammed, a Hezbollah terrorist.
André, a French commando, is also hunting him, to revenge his brother and 300 other French paratroopers and US Marines blown up by Hezbollah.
For Rosa, a passionate and remorseless Palestinian guerrilla, Mohammed is her people’s greatest hope and she will die to protect him.
And for lovely Anne-Marie, only André can save her from Hell. Based on the author’s own experiences in Lebanon, Syria and the Middle East.
