Set in an all-too-realistic 2027, Angela Watts’s newest installment in The Infidel series, The Mercenary’s Deception is another whirlwind of a dystopian thriller.
Closely following the second novel in the series, The Grim Alliance, this novel doesn’t waste any time dunking you head-first into the action. With the unforgettable cast of characters that we’ve come to know and love, Watts puts them through a gauntlet of chaos in the shadows of the Second Civil War. Rene' Fisher, who readers will remember from her last adventure, battles the forces of evil, figuratively and literally.
Watts has proven over and over that she is a writing-force to be reckoned with. The Mercenary’s Deception weaves classic, pure prose with rip-roaring action, side-chained by intrigued and a futuristic realism. Watts continually impresses with her ability to write - with in-depth, complex plots and a fun crew of actors. This all-too-timely plot, which runs over the course of a month, will keep readers up late into the night trying to squeeze in yet another page before turning out the lights. It’s virtually impossible, as The Mercenary’s Deception is a nonstop thrill ride from one of the best, new voices in the thriller genre.
