I found all the abbreviations and acronyms a bit overwhelming and actually annoying after a while. Author tried too hard to impress reader with his knowledge of the inner circles of "security" in the various countries.

Brian Douglas, working for Brithish intelligence, is in Bahrain's five star Diplomat Hotel when the bomb goes off. He's as used to carnage as one can be, after his years in Iraq. But much has changed since that war. The sheiks have been driven out of Saudi Arabia-now called Islamyah-and Iraq has become a virtual puppet of Iran, which is now packing nuclear heat. The coalition forces are long gone from Saddam's homeland, after pulling out their troops and leaving the mess behind.

But the mess isn't going away as this latest bombing suggests. And as Douglas and others try to sort out agendas and loyalties, motives and manipulations, the Middle East grows ever hotter-and this time withdrawal may not be an option...
