Queen & Country

review 1: The story begins with Tara Chace flat on her back and wondering if she can get up. And she realizes the moment has come. It's time to turn in her sniper's rifle and ride a desk. She has a five-year old daughter who needs her to come home at night, not be halfway around the world, risking life and limb for British Intelligence. Just one more mission ... is this Rucka's final Queen & Country novel? I hope not. He's one of the finest suspense writers around and I read everything he writes with the same fierce enjoyment that Rucka puts into every word of his stories. We see more of Tara's back story than ever before as the narrative moves between her mission in Iran and back home in England. This is a sharp, intelligent and fast-paced thriller, filled with the techno-babble an... mored weapons minutia that I (and presumably all of Rucka's readers) love. Give me more!
review 2: In just over 250 pages, Greg Rucka proves once again, how good his international espionage world of QUEEN & COUNTRY is. Swift and intense, with choppy prose and realistically detailed, albeit wonderfully fictional, the adventures of Tara Chace, a modern spy for the post 9/11 era are the most exiting reads on the market. While from the get-go Rucka sets this book up as Chace's swan song he nevertheless, like any good writer, sets up even more exciting possibilities if he should ever revisit the QUEEN AND COUNTRY world. The best part is, even if the cast changes, Rucka's grasp on the espionage world and his storytelling ability would make any further QUEEN AND COUNTRY tales just as thrilling as his years chronicling Tara Chace. less
