Dead Drop- Book 4 of the Incognito Series
Karen Wiesner
Reviewed by Ashley Merrill
Just as in the third Incognito book
in the series, I found that this story felt different than the first
two. I feel as though the first two are
filled
with more detail, and have more life to them. I also fell in love with
the
characters more because you really got to see what they did within The
Network.
In saying that, this book was by no
means bad. It was very worth the read. In
comparison to other books in this genre, it is one of the better
ones.
Perry is a FBI agent. Her son is a very intelligent
man who spends all of this time in his lab at the university.
Twenty five years ago her lover, Daniel disappeared without a trace.
The only clue was his car that was set ablaze in the middle of nowhere
with a drop of his blood. Everyone assumes he was killed in a
freak accident, but Perry thinks differently. She knows that
right before he disappeared he was confronted by a man asking him to
join their organization. He did not tell Daniel much, but did say that
he would be a great value to their cause. Daniel said no, and
then
disappeared. Perry has a thought that it is some secret group
that took him from her.
Roan Emory is the best of the best. He is the most dangerous and feared
man within The Network. He is successful at all of his missions and is
like a machine; he has no emotions. Roan went undercover for
years as a double agent and recently has returned to The Network.
Everyone except for the top agents thought that he had double crossed
them and started to work with terrorists. That is what everyone
was supposed to think so that he could get into the deepest part of
this dangerous terrorist group and help to bring them down. Being a
double agent really took its toll and Roan finds himself not caring if
he lives or dies, becoming very unhappy within The Network.
It is around this time that he finds out that his son, whom he has
never met, is being recruited by the same people that forced him to
work for them. He makes contact with the love of his former life,
Perry,
and finally reveals to her that he has been alive after all of these
years. She sees a man that resembles the man she loved but is
just his
shell. He is void of all emotion. Torn, she finds herself trying
desperately to get him to help her hide her son so The Network won’t
take him from her. Roan is also torn. He forgot what it was like to
smell her, look at her, and touch her…
This is an exciting book that has some nice action to it. There
is not as much as in the first two books, and I believe that it focuses
more on the romance aspect, but it is still worth the read, especially
for romance lovers. I feel as though it was a good romance with a
little bit of action instead of a good action book with a little bit of
romance, like the first two books. Will Roan find a way to be
with Perry and pick up where they left off twenty five years ago, or
will The Network do what it always does and keep its operatives
prisoner until they are ready to dispose of them indefinitely? Stay
tuned for the review of book five!
