Enemy Within picks up immediately where Enemy of My Enemy stops—detailing action-packed, hair-raising, gut-wrenching, intense, breath-holding scenes that pull you into the story, turning your life into mind over matter… YOU WILL BE hard-pressed to lay the book down.
Tal Bauer has set the bar for writing a series that could be a movie…the research and real life experiences that have gone into these scenes make these pages, literally, evolve into full-blown technicolor, exploding before your very eyes.
The details and descriptions, not only in this book but the entire series, are far above anything I’ve ever read giving you a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-seeking bookgasm that’s hard to explain. You just need to read the series for the full impact and experience.
As Jack and Ethan, Sasha and Sergey, Adam and Faisal, the three main couples, struggle to do their part in finding Madigan, you also have Scott, Welby, Anton, Alesky, Elizabeth Wall—just to name a few, all secondary characters—but no less important—who are working, just as diligently, to do their part in searching and investigating before time runs out. And time IS of the essence.
Enemy Within spends most of its time in the bitter, snow-capped mountains of Siberia where these remarkable, courageous, and brave men fight—not only extreme temperatures—but extreme and torturous blizzard conditions along with frozen rivers testing their skills, wit, love and devotion.
They must trust each other, even though that is one of the hardest things, at this point, to do. Deep within, there is a mole giving away their locations, their next move, always allowing Madigan the upper hand.
But who? Why? What do they have to gain? All of these questions are constantly in the background of your mind as the underlying tension runs parallel to the story.
Characters you love will become suspicious. Your own heart aches as you try to figure out who is back-stabbing these men while looking them in their eye.
With so many amazing action-packed and bone-chilling scenes, I literally envisioned Tal Bauer walking to the stage and receiving his Grammy for best scenes ever in the Honolulu.
Each book in this series, Tal Bauer has taken me to a particular location and dropped me right in the middle. In Enemy Within, I was on that submarine and felt the panic, the fear, as the Captain shouts orders. As his men shout back, I was reaching for a grab bar—which happened to be my dog’s leg, lol—but it was no less real.
Tears were pouring down my face as Jack and Ethan look to each other confirming their love
“Brace for impact” “Sound collision alarm” Torpedoes in the water!” are just a few of their shouts that will have your spine in knots and your hair tingling. To say it was intense would be an extreme understatement and some of the best descriptive writing and content I’ve ever read.
Enemy Within will take you inside the trenches where the worst of mankind congregate, inside the minds of brilliant leaders... you'll witness the strategic and elaborate undertakings play out, have you questioning who is friend or foe, but you never, at any time, lose the connection to the story as the author (aka freakin' genius) unfolds this spellbinding, intricately-woven, complex journey.
Ethan and Jack work together and become stronger than ever, solidifying a union that was destined from the start. If there were ever two people that belonged together it’s these two men who complete each other so selflessly and complement each other so beautifully.
But, Adam and Faisal really stole the limelight for me, in this edition. Their love has never been tested as it is now, and the depths each go for the other was/is astoundingly beautiful and brought ugly tears pouring down my face.
We also see Sergey struggle with a new reality, face fears and overcome hardships while Sasha fights with every bone in his body to be strong against his love for Sergey in favor of his pride and love for Russia.
My heart broke for both of these strong-willed men, Sasha especially, who has never recovered from the betrayal in Enemy of my Enemy. A betrayal that cut him deeply, and while his outer body may no longer be damaged, his inner self is still badly broken making the ability to trust nearly impossible.
Enemy Within should not be read out of order. You are doing a disservice to yourself—and the characters—if you choose to do so, and to the author for the time and research that has gone into making this series as factual and riveting as it is.
Book three wraps everything up and answers questions that have been left hanging but there are also areas left open should the author choose to continue. And, that would make me ecstatic because I could read about any of these characters from now on... especially from this author. I'm with them all the way. Characters and Author!
The Executive Office series is a compelling, thought-provoking, romantic suspense that exceeds the norm. The research the author has included is phenomenal and a representation of why it is truly superb. A must read and my favorite series of all time. This will be a movie one day! Tal Bauer…you are an amazing and awe-inspiring author!!
