A thinking person's action adventure novel

Published in 2004.
Set in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the weeks following the 9/11 attacks, The Warlord's Son features Skelly, a middle-aged foreign correspondent who has decided to come out or retirement to find one last big story. It also concerns his "fixer", or translator, Najeeb - the outcast son of a border area warlord and Najeeb's girlfriend Daliya.
The story passes back and forth from Skelly to Najeeb and the reader gets quite a bit of insight into the culture of this border area. When it happens, the action is quick and good and the reader experiences the intrigue of all of the overlapping political, financial and cultural interests of the area.
I rate this book 4 stars out of 5.
