When Russia’s military intelligence service, the GRU, discovers there is a CIA spy in their High Command, who is supplying the CIA with eighty percent of its Russian intelligence, they use every trick of the spycraft trade to flush him out but their investigation tips off the mole that they are after him and he has to get out of Russia or die. Knowing the mole is in imminent danger of being caught, the CIA tries three snatch and run operations to extract him but all fail. With the mole’s capture an almost certainty, the CIA Director tries a desperate plan conceived by ATF agents Troy Barclay and Amber Neilson that pits them and their team against the entire Russian intelligence community in a win or die game of deception, intrigue, seduction and betrayal, that leaves a top GRU deputy dead; shot for being the mole, and the American team fighting its way out of Russia.

After graduating from Arizona State University with degrees in Zoology and Accounting, Mr. Adams joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation where, as a Special Agent, he investigated general crimes such as bank robberies, kidnappings and extortions as well as specializing in complex financial crimes as a forensic accountant. Mr. Adams went on to work for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as an investigator where he worked bank fraud and embezzlement cases. He has been a licensed commercial and residential contractor and built and developed many housing units. As a lark, he signed on with a small Hollywood literary agency where he worked as a literary agent for many years.

Since then he has written, directed and produced a number of award-winning shorts and several feature films. Mr. Adams decided to turn several of his scripts into novels and has six of them on Amazon, including the best-seller, FIRST LADY DOWN.

This will most likely be my last Troy and Amber novel. I am getting increasingly intolerant of the confusing plot lines, the abrupt changes of POV without warning, the many typos and grammatical errors, the improbable feats of physical and/or weaponry prowess ...

Thanks for the ride, but I'm getting off this roller coaster. It's just too much; I quit.

Sleeper Down review

Sleeper Down is the eighth book in the Troy Barclay and Amber Neilson series written by author Daniel Adams. There's a huge cast of characters in this one to keep track of.

Unbelievable

Action is intense the last quarter of the book. The only drawback the cliffhanger at the end. Hope it doesn't take too long for the next book to come out.

story was too slow and too many Russian people names repeated continuously to fill up space. Sorry Dan but not your best work.
