Hard not to get teary eyed at some of the voice mails transcribed from people on the hijacked planes and reactions in general to what was happening. Very comprehensive. The pace of the quoted conversations and recollections are just relentless, from Dick Cheney down to the smallest page at Congress trying to figure out where to park the giant flag container she was responsible for that day ....running down the Mall with them.
Particularly moving were the calls coming from Flight 93 - they had cell contact and were sometimes conversing with loved ones.
Pretty brave the bunch that forced that crash.

I enjoyed that a lot. I think he's one of the most interesting writers in the genre atm. The Children of Time and The Final Architecture trilogies are cracking good reads.
