Palace of Treason

Autor Jason Matthews
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iun 2015
From the bestselling, Edgar Award winning author of the terrifically good ("The New York Times") "Red Sparrow, "a compulsively readable new novel about star-crossed Russian agent Dominika Egorova and CIA's Nate Nash in a desperate race to the finish.
Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service (SVR) has returned from the West to Moscow. She despises the men she serves, the oligarchs, and crooks, and thugs of Putin s Russia. What no one knows is that Dominika is working for the CIA as Washington s most sensitive penetration of SVR and the Kremlin.
As she expertly dodges exposure, Dominika deals with a murderously psychotic boss; survives an Iranian assassination attempt; escapes a counterintelligence ambush; rescues an arrested agent and exfiltrates him out of Russia; and has a chilling midnight conversation in her nightgown with President Putin. Complicating these risks is the fact that Dominika is in love with her CIA handler, Nate Nash, and their lust is as dangerous as committing espionage in Moscow. And when a mole in the SVR finds Dominika s name on a restricted list of sources, it is a virtual death sentence
Just as fast-paced, heart-pounding, and action-packed as "Red Sparrow," Jason Matthews s second novel confirms he is an insider s insider and a masterful storyteller (Vince Flynn, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author)."

Recenzii

Dominika Egorova, of the Russian Intelligence Service, is one of the most complex and compelling heroines to grace the espionage genre ...Palace of Treasonis enthralling ... That Matthews, who served in the C.I.A. for 33 years, knows the world of espionage and its darkest corners is never in doubt ... Whether in Vienna, Moscow or Washington, Matthews's scene-setting is superb, and he has a fine eye for telling details ...Palace of Treasonshimmers with authenticity
Taut, fast-paced and authentic. AgreatAmerican spy novel
Sublime and sophisticated ... a fast-paced thriller ... as noteworthy for its superior style as for its gripping depiction of a secretive world
A primer in 21st-century spying... terrifically good
The best espionage novel you've ever read
There is much to relish, from its revival of the sexy spy (this time female) to its mischievous portrayal of Putin
As authentic a spy novel as you are ever apt to read, rendered in exciting prose by a master who helped craft the rules by which spying is conducted. A ten-cloak, ten-dagger read
Matthews is the insider's insider. He knows the secrets. And he is also a master storyteller
The world of a spy is unique and claustrophobic, but this bold tale captures its every nuance with expert precision. A tantalizing premise, and a heroine who's an alpha female, forge a solid piece of entertainment that does not disappoint
A sequel that's every bit as good as his début . . . Authentic tradecraft, a complex plot that steadily builds tension, and credible heroes and villains on both sides make this a standout
The tough and talented Egorova is a brilliant creation - her adventures make for a dazzling thrill-filled journey across the globe. Matthews spent 30 years as a CIA agent so this is the real deal. Thrilling, absorbing and brilliantly descriptive ... you won't fail to be won over
Egorova could well turn out to be the greatest ever female character in spy fiction
