A War on Deception by P.A Duncan was a wonderful read. I couldn't put it down and read it in a day and a half. The story had a nice flow to it. There was never a point where I was confused about what a character said or did and when. Several times a War on Deception left me smiling with snarky well thought out dialogue between the characters. What I enjoyed the most is how the book kept my attention from start to finish. I will read more from this clever writer. 3 s CliffordAuthor 15 books363

A War of Deception is a page-turning thriller un any I’ve read. With engaging, believable characters, knife-sharp dialogue, and a riveting plot, Duncan paints a timely and frightening picture of a new cold war between Russia and the West. Or maybe the spies have all gone rogue? You won’t want to stop reading until you find out. And you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended. novels2 s Taryn KloedenAuthor 3 books11

A gritty tale with twists you won't see coming, A War of Deception is one firecracker of a debut novel! If you enjoy complex tales with well-developed characters, this is the thriller for you. With universal themes to which we can all relate, this story will keep you glued to the page (or screen). I particularly enjoyed the leads, Mai Fisher and Alexei Bucharin, and look forward to reading many more stories about these characters.1 J Russ BrileyAuthor 2 books11

“I loved reading this spy thriller where old school KGB meets twenty-first century FBI. Alexie and Mai are a husband and wife battling each other as much as those who threaten them. It’s great fun watching them work it out, in between getting shot and making love. I can’t wait to read the next book.”

I had the pleasure of getting an ARC.

AT LAST

This was a blast from the past! Cold War, Mother Russia, Spycraft, Innocents, Shadow Agencies, The Great Plot, an excellent cast of players, all things needed for an exemplary well woven tale! Betsy AshtonAuthor 13 books187

Duncan reverts to old-school tradecraft in her novel. Updated to more current issues, Russia and the US are still not bosom buddies. They spy on each other; they hunt each other's moles; they hire hit men to kidnap, rape, and murder women they want to eliminate.

Duncan brings back husband and wife team of spies who work for a UN Directorate, Alexei Bukharin and Mai Fisher, from earlier short stories and novellas. The backstory for Alexei kick starts a complicated, multi-level story of revenge. The pair rely on old-fashioned legwork and thinking instead of gadgets and high-tech toys to ferret out the men who want Mai and Alexei's grand-daughter dead.

A page turner from the very beginning. You may see the end coming, but getting there is so very satisfying. You won't want to miss a single page. Anne IglesiasAuthor 3 books7

A War of Deception kept me guessing from Chapter 1. It is a suspenseful spy novel that follows the lives of two spy agents and a mole in the FBI. The back story of the two spy agents intertwines with the lives of the FBI mole and other characters to bring you a suspenseful well-written story. The spy agents' lives sound adventurous and exciting, however, when their granddaughter’s life is put in jeopardy, you realize just how dangerous it really is. My favorite character is Mai, one of the spy agents, because she doesn’t put up with crap from anyone. I have never been interested in the spy genre, so I was quite surprised when I was captivated by this book from the beginning. Geared for older Young Adult and Adults.
