The Last Spymaster

I picked up a copy of The Last Spymaster in hardback yesterday at BooksAMillion and am about 75 pages into it so far. Wow, Gayle Lynds knows her spy stuff. She mentions on her site that all the gadgets in The Last Spymaster are really gadgets that are either currently being used or soon-to-be released. That's an interesting tidbit as you read this book.

An impressive thing about Lynds is that she is meticulous in her research and consults with founding member of the CIA Counter-terrorism Unit, Robert Kresge, to make sure she gets her facts straight. Lynds weaves spy-speak into her work seamlessly and her descriptions of action scenes put you right there with the characters.

I'm also honored to say that Gayle Lynds has agreed let me interview her about her work toward the end of February. If you want to suggest a question you'd like me to ask this talented New York Times Best Selling novelist, please post it to the comment area of this blog. :)
