This sequel to Rules of Deception, a New York Times Bestseller, has made Christopher Reich into a master of the espionage thriller. Dr. Jonathan Ransom's wife Emma has been missing for quite some time now. After her disappearance, Dr. Ransom was shocked to learn that the woman he thought was his wife all this time, has been using him as a cover and is really an international agent. It takes us into a deeper level of intrigue with Emma and Jonathan Ransom. Emma, a veteran agent of Division, the U.S. Department of Defense agency that “ran the blackest of black ops,” has of course vamoosed, leaving her husband to hold the bag, and in short order the Metropolitan Police oblige by arresting him.
Fans of Reich’s greased-lightning thrillers, however, won’t expect Jonathan to be charged and jailed. Instead, they’ll wait, like him, for the moment when he can overpower his captors and make his escape to the continent, across which the authorities chase him as avidly as he’s chasing Emma, who’s evidently determined to blow up a nuclear reactor. Jonathan is less believable as a civilian who manages incredible feats of spying and survival. There are few incidents that just don't track. Reich leaves us set up for another book.
Like 007’s obsession with Blofeld, Jonathan’s hyperinflated connubial problems seem intended to turn international terrorism into good, clean human-scale fun.
