Review title: A New Type of Thriller
Product review: By the Sword is a well thought-out, believable, and compelling novel about what could happen in the Middle East today, especially in relation to Iran. The authors never took the easy way out of a difficult situation, and there was never a time when I thought, "Oh, come on." My favorite parts were the sections about the underground church and the characters in that church, but the main character, Amber Robbins, had virtually no faults, making her a bit hard to connect with. However, most of the other characters, especially Mohammed and Rida Faheedi, and Davood and Mrna, were sympathetic characters and very interesting. Overall, By the Sword is a good book. The strongest parts are the plot, the settings, and the scenes with the underground church. Mike Yorkey and Rick Myatt need to write a sequel soon!
