The first chapter made me feel like I was there; helping to dig at Ground Zero. And then the sci-fi aspect kicked in with an amazing feeling of going back in time to kill the terrorists before the attacks. If only we could. But most of the book was a battle in the past, but not our past, but one created an arrogant, bigoted man, who's ploy is reinforced to the degree of believing in his struggle. Well written and very entertaining.
