Title: Tepid
Product review: I read this book because the afterward of a Colin Harrison thriller suggested that Ferrigno was an excellent thriller author. Harrison is being too modest: he's far more talented (at least if this book serves as an example). It had some potential, but the whole Muslim America things started to feel stale and forced by the end of the novel, and the action was pretty sparse. Lots of descriptions of American cities under Muslim thrall, but the descriptions never "came to life". It had none of the resonance of The Handmaid's Tale, which everyone loves to compare it to. It's a tired, rehashed story of a bad guy chasing a good guy chasing after a girl, with an uneven plot that wears thin about halfway through. The one saving grace: crackling dialogue.
