"Bounty" by Darryl Greer is a suspense thriller novel set during the extremist disturbances in the Middle East -- Lebanon. The novel showed how armed action affects the country's economy and how it penetrates other countries as far away as Australia.
Born into the harsh realities of their country, the young, ambitious and intelligent Jabir Sarkis is very much determined to have a decent eduction. He was also in a dilemma on how to get it. He only has two choices -- whether he would join the LAF -- Lebanese Armed Forces -- to help fight off the terrorists in their country or to escape the country to have a better life. Either way, he wants to have the means to be able to financially provide for his family.
Darryl Greer splendidly illustrated one of our world's problems today -- armed conflict, which not only affects Middle Eastern countries but other countries as well. With a solid, interesting plot and its unexpected twists, you would not want to put the book down. It kept me at the very edge of my seat until the end.
