Title: Needs to be re-editied
Product review: Although the story itself is good enough to keep a reader interested, the countless errors in the novel are distracting. The book was first published in the early 80s, so in an effort to make the book more "current," the publishers added lines about 9/11, the Gulf War, etc. However, they don't fit with the timeline and dates given in the book. For instance, one character discusses an event that happened in 1975 as though it were yesterday, then they mention someone as being a Gulf War vet. They talk about being in Beruit, then skip to Gulf War Iraq as though they happened back to back, rather than decades apart. The anachronisms only jumble the story. They probably should have left the origianl novel alone and just republished it (like the Bourne Identity, which - although very dated with phonebooths rather than cellphones - is a very good read). I would not recommend this book.
