Happy Holidays and The Middleman

Happy Holidays and The Middleman

Wishing you a happy holiday season, no matter what holiday you’re celebrating. The new Travelers book is shaping up into its final form. Going to have to come up with an appropriate title. Lots of twists and turns and tradecraft in this one, which I hope makes it an un-put-downable read.

Meanwhile, here’re a thriller I read after Thanksgiving.

The Middleman by Olen Steinhauer (2018). I’ve read several of Steinhauer’s thrillers. All were excellent. This one involves the FBI hunt for a would-be terrorist group. But in the usual Steinhauer way, pretty soon you’re not sure if all the bad guys are bad guys and if all the good guys are good guys, as we follow FBI Agent Rachel Proulx while she tries to unravel the complex machinations of the Massive Brigade before they can execute the next step in their plan to overturn the US government.

Lots of rich detail and suspenseful complications make for a very satisfying read.

Happy reading!
