About the author
Deek Rhew
12 books101 followersDeek Rhew writes thrillers where psychology is the weapon and human nature decides who survives.
A lifelong traveler with an insatiable curiosity about what makes people tick, Deek draws inspiration from years spent exploring the world with his bride, Erin Rhew. Different cultures, unfamiliar terrain, and quiet moments of observation become fuel for stories rooted in motive, fear, and the choices people make under pressure.
Fueled by dark coffee and a fascination with the human psyche, Deek’s work asks: when pressure, circumstance, and perception strip away reason and logic, does anyone truly have limits? This obsession drives the 122 Rules series, where psychological principles predict behavior and operatives like Sam Bradford and Polly Cahill survive by manipulating others into choices that betray their own morals, even when the consequences are fatal.
Deek’s father, a proud Air Force veteran, taught him commitment, discipline, and sacrifice. These threads are woven throughout Deek’s life’s work. His career in software sharpened his understanding of technology and the unintended consequences of its misuse, themes that echo through his speculative fiction, where the fall of civilization feels less like imagination and more like an early warning.
When he’s not writing, Deek is usually adventuring with Erin, scouting the next horizon, or debating human behavior and motives over cups of strong coffee.

Sam and his alter ego, Chet are called out of a life of ease living the surfer life. Called into action, he and sexy but lethal Polly Cahill are drawn into a world of dangerous twists. This is another exciting and thrilling chapter in the 122 Rules Series. I heartily recommend it.
