"Years ago, Eric Stone, left the CIA to start his own spy agency, one that wouldn't find itself at the mercy of political gridlock and internal power plays. Israeli Simone Koole joined Mossad years ago to serve her people and her God. Together they will wage a high-stakes cyber war against Israel's enemies."
Spencer E. Moses delivers a fresh spy thriller filled with action, relatable characters, and a story line pulled straight from the headlines of a nation who faces dark enemies determined to destroy them. Characters and setting are rich in detail giving them the authenticity the reader needs to wonder if they truly exist. Mr. Spencer assures us at the end of the novel the characters are fictional but the reader may be left to wonder...are they really?
As you travel from the mountainous regions of Colorado, to the politically charged Capital of D.C., you won't need to renew your passport as Mr. Moses transports you to London, Germany, Egypt, Iraq, and eventually into the treacherous and deadly desert landscape of Iran to share Eric Stone and Simone Koole's suspenseful attempt to protect millions of people from another holocaust.

Spencer Moses spins a great tale about how the US and Israel might have conspired to thwart Iran's nuclear threat. Network of Deception is an action-packed, globe-spanning thriller, with a budding romance, that shows the author's insight into events in the Middle East.This story is Tom Clancy without having to wade through all the technical detail, though Moses does include enough detail to keep the story well within the bounds of believability. A very enjoyable read. Hopefully, Moses will bring back the hero and heroine in another story, soon.

Good intelligence action adventure thriller
It's a fun ride. The tale pushes the edge of believability, but never really crosses it. The spiritual level is two-star, plus a twinge of religious Christianity.
It gives a view of the survival level of Israeli life.
It's a good read.

“Network of Deception” by Spencer E. Moses is a great book if you like espionage. An ex-CIA agent is roped into helping a Mossad agent; but he’s not given any details of what he is expected to do. I love reading stories about Israel. How God has protected them through-out history. This story takes you to different locations around the globe. Tension remains high from the beginning of the story to the end. I highly recommend this story.

Well written espionage thriller with a line story thrown in
The characters were very well developed, so I found myself getting attached to them. It's a great story of espionage, with lots of action, and a solid relationship develops between the lead characters. I'm going there's more on this series.

The flow of the story wasn't bad. Chapters are short (2-4 pages). The book seemed flat but had good action towards the end.
From reading the back of the book, it did not pan out how I thought and was a little anti climatic but overall, not a bad read.

I thought this was a good book. A good thriller, along the lines of a Vince Flynn or Steve Berry. Like Steve Berry's character Cotton Malone, the lead character Eric Stone is a former intelligence officer, but far from retiring from the game. Simone Koole is a good Yin to Stone's Yang and very tricky herself. If you're looking for the beginning of a new author to start reading, I believe that Spencer E. Moses' books show promise of an up and coming author in the thriller/spy genre of fiction. The read was quick and not too technical like some Tom Clancy books can be sometimes. I enjoyed this book.

Wish I could give it zero stars. I had a nice critique written up and the goodreads site glitched out and I refuse to waste any more time writing about this unbelievable piece of garbage. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

Edge of seat reading. God given high priority, but no mention of Jesus. His name is crucial for salvation, " for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

Great idea, poor execution. Dialog was forced, characters felt contrived and unrealistic.

This book was good. First time reading this author. Not as in-depth or complex as some of my other authors, but it was good.

Excellent read! The characters were intense. The relationship between the two main characters was very interesting. Extremely fun to read.
