Compelling story—-once started, I read it to the end (4:30AM)!
What an opening scene! Anyone who reads through it will be “hooked” into the book, and Mr. Lyntton successfully reels us into the rest of the book!
I happened to have read the 2nd book in the series (“Hyde Park Deception”) in before this book, and was glad I did, as this book refers to a few incidents in “Hyde Park”, which gives perspective into the timeline of Jack Steel’s life. As in “Hyde Park”, I found the characters and plot to be well-developed, and seemingly perfect for easy translation into movie/TV series. Events move along as expected, until suddenly …they don’t!
The descriptions of locations are realistic, reflecting, I suspect, the author’s actual experiencing of them. The importance of international cooperation in maintaining peace is again depicted. What is particularly disturbing is the sense that the actions of the men in key positions in governments is not only possible, but in fact have/are happening—if not in these specific areas of international concern, in others that are just as significant. How easy it is to hoodwink the populace into believing whatever the powers-that-be want them to believe is clearly seen in the events of the last few years, whether in the US or in overtly fascist states.
A geopolitical thriller—yes, the book is that. An action-packed, adrenaline rush—ABSOLUTLEY! But, on a more thoughtful level, a warning to be willing to look more deeply at events than what the state wants it’s people to see. To be willing to listen to and read what naysayers, deep thinkers, scientists and objective scholars are saying about significant points in our history.

A Refreshing Choice of Settings and Story by an Author Talented Enough to Handle Both
British journalist, Jack Steele, hopes to meet is contact, Natasha Klimova, at the Amur River. He is instead captured near the North Korean border! In a nicely done twist, one of many by Richard Lyntton, Natasha does meet up with Steele, but she too (adding to this great plot) is being chased! To add more complication, the head of MI6, blocking a move by Steele that could "gum up" a much desired political play with Russia, is gunning for Steel. When Steele learns of a play by Americans to destroy the Youngtuk reactor, he must warn the community--and save them. Can he? Author Lyntton knows how to raise the stakes and stretch the tension throughout "North Korea Deception." I'm up for book II, "Hyde Park Deception," and I've got it ordered.
