![]() ![]() ![]() Now let’s come back to the first thing I really liked right after starting it. In Bullets and Train the dead guys did not deserve to die. It is written in a true Hollywood style where the dead guys deserved to die. Although Sting of Drone has done the same but it is completely different. This is the message that needed to be delivered in any drone related book. The first thing I liked about Bullets and Train, well actually it was the last thing I liked because it only dawns on you when you finish the entire book that drones lead to worse kind of hatred and violence filled revenge. Won’t say any more as that will ruin the fun. The most wanted man in South East Asia hijacks a train in Singapore at the same time. ![]() Let me quickly get the plot out of the way: Taliban steal a nuclear bomb, smuggle it out of Afghanistan and into Singapore. However, out of the whole bunch only Sting of Drone tries to tackle the social impact of drone attacks. ![]() At least we have one novel on drones versus don’t know how many dozens may be penned by Americans, Richard Clarke’s Sting of Drone, Troy Pearce Drone and a couple of others can’t remember at the moment. Ten years of this hell and finally of the 200 million of us, one finally pens a novel on drones. I’ll say it’s about time that a Pakistani has written a fiction about drones.
