I, just finished reading the new spy thriller called the 'Agency Rules' - Never an Easy Day at the office by Pakistani author Khalid Muhammad. This novel is centered around a Peshawar native ISI operative Kamal Khan. He is a fine breed SSG officer, a skilled interrogator and a sharp shooter with nerves of steel. Due to his credentials the agency calls him to go in deep cover to infiltrate a new terrorist organization which poses a great threat to the country. Soon he finds himself inside the terrorist group with a long beard, a religious zeal and fiery speeches which land him right where he ought to be. When i started reading this book yesterday i was simply captivated by its exhilarating attention to detail and the mature plot which may put any Hollywood thriller to shame. The Author has done a brilliant job in paying great attention to operational and tactical detail while piecing the plot together. The entire plot is very much anchored in the real Pakistani politics, its twists and turns, its highs and lows, friends and foes and some ugly truths. The squeal to the book is due in a few months time. I loved reading this book, finishing 15 of its chapters in a single day without getting bored. I hope you guys will like it too. #Horus

Description.

Celebrated as a ragtag force that defeated and broke the Soviet Union, no one predicted the Mujahideen would bring with them a plague that would spread like wildfire through Pakistan in the years to follow. When the battle-worn fighters returned with no enemy or war to fight, they turned their sights on the country that had been their creator and benefactor.

From the same battlegrounds that birthed the Mujahideen, a young Kamal Khan emerges as a different breed of warrior. Discarding his wealthy family comforts, Kamal becomes a precision sniper, an invincible commando and a clandestine operative bringing intimidation, dominance and death with him to the battlefield. Ending the plague is his prime directive.

Shrouded in political expediency, hampered by internal power struggles, international espionage and doublespeak that makes Washington's spin doctors proud, Kamal's mission is a nightmare of rampant militant fundamentalism that threatens to choke and take Pakistan hostage. For him, the fight is not just for freedom, but the survival of a nation.

Thank you for the offer :D But I'm working on a juggar, might buy the kindle version of book (epub format).

@Horus read excerpts of the novel , colorful curses and our hero Kamal flirting with girls as a field training exercise, Touche :sarcastic:

But the thing that puts me off is the command of writer on sentence structuring. As I have read several other spy novels written by american authors, Khalid Mahmood sentence structuring seems mediocre and it throws me off little but overall looks to be a great novel.

And If you got time, do read these two spy novels as well, though Bad guy in both of them are Pakistani's but ISI helps CIA in nabbing vivillains

Perhaps civilian authors should contact the authors of Profiles of Intelligence and Bear trap or observe their works on how to write fluently.
