I'm exhausted, but it was worth it. I love romance, but more, I love an open, humanitarian vision, capable of a non-fundamentalist understanding of the myriad of philosophical, political, and religious issues that are inevitably inherent in us as humans. Although, for my tastes, it would be better if the author could moderate his cheesiness, which more than once runs amok to the point of ridiculousness, I learned something after this handful of his stories that I have read in the last ten days or so: In the future, I will not rule out Tal Bauer's books a priori, because although [b:Enemies of the State|34664699|Enemies of the State (The Executive Office #1)|Tal Bauer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1490216550l/34664699._SY75_.jpg|49030205] was a complete miss for me, [b:You & Me|60695252|You & Me|Tal Bauer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1648319939l/60695252._SX50_.jpg|95685538] and this book were two great hits. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

On September 11th, 2001, Kris Caldera was a junior member of the CIA's Alec Station, the unit dedicated to finding and stopping Osama Bin Laden. They failed. Ten days later, he was on the ground in Afghanistan with a Special Forces team. On the battlefield, he meets Special Forces Sergeant David Haddad. David-Arab American, Muslim, and gay-becomes the man Kris loves, the man he lives for, and the man he kills for, through the long years of the raging wars. When a botched mission rips David from Kris's life, Kris's world falls into ruin and ash. After being captured, tortured to the edge of his life, and left for dead by his comrades, David doesn't know how much of himself is left. He vanished in the tribal belt of Pakistan, and the man who walks out almost a decade later is someone new: Al Dakhil Al-Khorasani. Intelligence from multiple sources overseas points to something new. Something deadly, and moving to strike the United States. Intercepts say an army from Khorasan, the land of the dead where the Apocalypse of Islam will rise, is coming. And, at the head of this army, a shadowy figure the US hasn't seen before: Al Dakhil Al-Khorasani. David is coming home. Contains mature themes. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Well, I guess that is true - there are sappy parts in this, (spoiler alert) like when David and Chris get married. It is over the top, but it is beautiful.
Chris is a great character and David - more of a mystery and fascinating. His devotion to Chris is liberating for David I believe - abrogation of self to the greater cause of Chris - that's how he sees. Chris who is a brilliant analyst and negotiator. ( )
