Targets of Deception by Jeffrey S. Stephens


From Amazon - When Jordan Sandor resigned from active service with the Central Intelligence Agency, it was before 9-11, before the fall of Saddam Hussein, before the world had so dramatically changed. He is reluctantly drawn back into action, when a series of violent events leads him to search out a new al-Qaeda conspiracy to initiate a new wave of cataclysmic assaults with poison gas.


Sandor follows the deadly trail from New York to Florida to Paris and, ultimately, to the small town of Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Never sure who he can trust and who may be an enemy, Jordan relies on his experience, instincts and skills as he risks his life to uncover plans for attacks against the United States and its allies. The terrorist strategy is cunning and far-reaching, with the lives of millions of people at stake. When Sandor discovers a rogue agent behind the plot, he realizes he is the one man who can prevent the catastrophe.



If you're looking for a page-turning adrenaline pumping thriller, look no further! Targets of Deception will keep you thoroughly entertained. The plot is multi-faceted, and you really need to pay attention to the different things going on that will eventually come together and make sense.  There are some heart-pounding action sequences and the character development is realistic and intriguing.  Between the terrorists and the politics, I was hooked, but add in a personal agenda and you have a taut, volatile plot that is dynamite!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
