Didn’t Like It “I did not like this book. I found myself very confused by all of the characters and even though it sort of came together in the end I feel it could have been written a lot better and with clearer plot. The general idea behind the book was good but I felt that is was poorly executed.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I would saw possibly one of his best books that he has written but I could see the major twist coming. After plot twist was inserted the book seemed rushed to finish.”

Twenty-four hours later, jonathan receives an envelope addressed to his wife containing two baggage-claim tickets. Puzzled, he journeys to a remote railway station, only to find himself in a life-and-death struggle for his wife's possessions. In the aftermath of the assault, he discovers that his attackers-one dead, the other mortally wounded-were, in fact, Swiss police officers. More frightening still is evidence of an extraordinary act of betrayal that leaves Jonathan stunned.
Suddenly the subject of an international man-hunt and the target of a master assassin, Jonathan is forced on the run. His only chance at survival lies in uncovering the devastating truth behind the secret his wife kept from him and in stopping the terrifying conspiracy that threatens to bring the world to the brink of annihilation. Step by step, he is drawn deeper into a world of spies, high-tech weaponry, and global terrorism-a world where no one is who they appear to be and where the end always justifies the means.

“I saw this book on the bestseller shelf at the store and when I picked it up there was a quote from Vince Flynn on the inside cover that said " Rules of Deception is an intense, impossible-to-put-down spy novel-like Robert Ludlum at his very best." Since I love Vince Flynn and Robert Ludlum books, I figured I would give it a shot. And it was extremely good. While I don't think it was quite as good as a Robert Ludlum novel, it has a lot of similar qualities. It grabbed from the start. I always knew Doctors without Borders would be a great cover for a spy. When I told people that was what I wanted to do, they would just laugh. ”
