( Details ) ISBN: 0060934417 Published: April 2002 | Published by Harper Collins From the Publisher Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country’s vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. Roxanne Coss, opera’s most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening -- until a band of gun-wielding terrorists breaks in through the air-conditioning vents and takes the entire party hostage. But what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different countries and continents become compatriots.Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in motion and cannot be stopped. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 1 1. Nazzy Reviewer: Nazzy from Vancouver, BC Date: 2/20/2003 4:20:37 PM Although the book was well written and easy to read, I found it difficult to believe some of the actions taken by the characters and their feelings for each other (and towards one character in particular). The ending also seemed unclear as to what happened. Although the book was somewhat captivating, it was only because I was thinking "the ending had better be believeable and worth it" which I found was not. I found the book disappointing.
