Second in the Joe Brennan Trilogy, Deadman Switch starts where Betrayer of Kings left off, with Joe Brennan still crossing borders both national and emotional as he tries to find who is behind the deaths of unrelated diplomats. As in the previous volume, there are telling details of craft and action, bringing to life a spy’s observational skills, a martial artist’s grace and threat in movement, and the practice and recognition of guns. Locations are convincingly and vividly described, from a first-world “modern new tinted glass-and-steel addition to the venerable red-brick university” to third-world Africa, which “smelled different... [t]he combination of local living conditions, local diet, and the effect of constant heat on organic material...” where “corrugated tin-shack favelas told the real story...”
The ACF has become a serious, if still poorly-identified threat as this story begins. Terrifying races for freedom are juxtaposed with scenes of reluctant trust and admiration, and brutal tortures too. The author describes human pain, martial arts and politics with equal depth and conviction, which makes for a relatively slow action read, but an intriguingly rewarding one. Of course, it ends on a cliffhanger again, but I’ll look forward to reading the final volume soon.
Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy and I offer my honest review.

This is the second book of the trilogy about Joe Brennan and starts immedialety after the first book. While you could read it as a stand alone novel it would be better to read the books in order. The book opens with Brennan meeting with a professor who knows about bombs. Brennan is suppose to be finding a sniper, but gets sidetracked. It seems that a rogue nuke may be on the black market. Twenty years ago the South Africans lost a bomb and now rumors are it has been found and there is a buyer for it. Brennan wants to find the bomb before this can happen. This story contains interesting characters, all of whom the author brings to life. There is nonstop action and I enjoyed this book a lot. Once you read the first book, you will be so engrossed in Brennan that you will have to read the second and then the third as I have. I'm starting the third one today and can't wait to find out what trouble Brennan gets into next. Can he save the world? Let's hope so!

The second in the Joe Brennan Trilogy continues with ex-SEAL and agency asset Joe hunting an international sniper. This time Joe teams up with Alex Malone a D.C. reporter as he follows the trail first to one country then another. Just when they think they are getting close the trail takes another turn.
Once again the author brings us to the edge of our seats! The danger is palpable!
Both Joe and Alex are continually in danger of their lives.
There is so much action going on that it is hard to pinpoint any one specific area to highlight. It is best to read it and discover for yourself how exciting it is.
As with the first in this series, this book deserves five stars.
