"Typhoon," an Olympic Thriller

By John Hockenberry, Adaora Udoji, Jesse Baker, Jonathan Topaz

Wednesday, August 6 2008

Ironically, author Charles Cumming's new book "Typhoon" is a thriller about terrorist attacks on the eve of the Olympics, launched by citizens from Xinjiang. Is the work of fiction that far-fetched?
