review 1: This is a book in a series. I didn't realize when I started, but some things were familiar.... and then more things became familiar. It was an okay book and I read the whole thing. I suppose it is true that spies are endlessly paranoid [with reason] never trust anyone and if they do, will find themselves with broken hearts, betrayed from every side. Liking a hero is a big mistake. When he is betrayed and tortured, my mind wonders if he could have avoided these things. The description of the dental torture was exceptionally vivid and nauseating. If there is another book in the series, I imagine that I will read it... and not like it very much.
review 2: I received an advance reading copy from St. Martin's press through the Good Reads First Reads giveaway. ... more(Thanks!) It took me a bit to get into the book, but then I became engrossed in the many layers of deception throughout the book. The concept of two half-brothers - one a jihadist, the other an agent for MI6 - was within the realm of possibilty, but the thought that one could turn the other to his side was a stretch. The author keeps you guessing throughout as to who was a traitor and who wasn't. I liked the short chapters; it gives you a sense of really moving through the book. Altogether, a pretty good read. less
