Whether you love or hate Oliver North you must admit that the man is very well versed about current events and terrorism. So when he writes a book like this even in the fiction form you must realize that he probably knows something you don't and that this is a very distinct possibility.

COUNTERFEIT LIES is the story of an undercover agent who is working a counterfeit case involving the North Koreans and the counterfeit products they import into America and sell here in order to finance their nuclear weapons research back in North Korea. The problems being when his investigation broadens and it is realized that there is also involvement by Middle Eastern terrorists and something much larger is going on.

For those who would doubt that Middle Eastern terrorists and North Korea would work together the answer is simple; the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I really enjoy the way Oliver North gets into the details of the way undercover agents have to work through the messed up bureaucracy that is the United States government and how ignorance from supervisors and those in DC puts the agents' lives on the ground in danger. This is true to life and almost as scary as the terrorists they are fighting.

I have always wondered how the government feels that someone who has never done a job is capable of supervising those who are doing it. COUNTERFEIT LIES is a great story that really wakes you up to the dangers that are facing us day to day as we go about our happy little clueless lives. There is always a battle going on by undercover operatives to protect our country's safety, security and economy and COUNTERFEIT LIES is a great book about just that.

Oliver North has hit it out of the park once again with COUNTERFEIT LIES and I highly recommend you read it.
