ReviewsOn a scale of one to fivestars, Palace of Treason is a six. With Palace of Treason , Jason Matthews hasresurrected the spy novel from the doldrums of silly car chases, martinisshaken not stirred, and dubious tradecraft to reflect the deadly serious stakesof the new Cold War., A great and dangerous spy-game is being played today between Russian intelligence and the CIA. Very few people know about it, including many of our politicians in Washington. But Jason Matthews does, and his thrilling Red Sparrow takes us deep inside this treacherous world. He's an insider's insider. He knows the secrets. And he is also a masterful story-teller. I loved this book and could not put it down. Neither will you., Matthews' latest is an extraordinarily commanding, acidly relevant, and unrelentingly suspenseful tale of espionage, brutality, and conscience., Red Sparrow , Jason Matthews's debut thriller, is a challenging act to follow. Palace of Treason , the sequel to Red Sparrow , does not disappoint. The book is enthralling. Matthews deftly weaves in enough back story to hook both new readers and those returning. Palace of Treason shimmers with authenticity. The villains are richly drawn...the scenes of them on the job are beyond chilling. Whether in Vienna, Moscow, or Washington, Matthews's scene-setting is superb, and he has a fine eye for telling details., An intense descent into a vortex of carnal passion, career brutality, and smart tradecraft, this thriller evokes the great Cold War era of espionage...Readers of bloodthirsty spy and suspense will welcome this debut., Matthews' vast experience working in the shadowy world of espionage and spycraft lends an authenticity to his story that few can equal.And it doesn't hurt that he can write. While Ian Fleming's work had a bit of a campy feel to it, Matthews doesn't take that approach; his spies are grittier and more human, more like those of John le Carr, and his knowledge of the inner workings of that world adds authenticity that other current writers simply can't approach…This is another must-read for fans of the spy genre., [ Palace of Treason ] is every bit as good as his debut [ Red Sparrow ]. Authentic tradecraft, a complex plot that steadily builds tension, and credible heroes and villains on both sides make this a standout., Jason Matthews has anamazing feel for the insider lingo and relentless intrigue of the spy'slife. Palace of Treason is a harrowing look into the lives ofspies...This is stay-up-all-night reading, and we're pummeled byhair-trigger actions on every page., Matthews' vast experience working in the shadowy world of espionage and spycraft lends an authenticity to his story that few can equal.And it doesn't hurt that he can write. While Ian Fleming's work had a bit of a campy feel to it, Matthews doesn't take that approach; his spies are grittier and more human, more like those of John le Carré, and his knowledge of the inner workings of that world adds authenticity that other current writers simply can't approach...This is another must-read for fans of the spy genre., You'll never see Vladimir Putin in the same light after reading this chilling portrait. Matthews's characters seem to leap out of the page; his firsthand familiarity with the toys and routines of the spy world is a definite plus. VERDICT: Seldom is a sequel as stunning as the original, but this one absolutely triumphs., Not since the good old days of the Cold War has a classic spy thriller like Red Sparrow come along. Jason Matthews is not making it up; he has lived this life and this story, and it shows on every page. High-level espionage, pulse-pounding danger, sex, double agents and double crosses. What more can any reader want?, The world of a spy is unique and claustrophobic, but this bold tale captures its every nuance with expert precision. A tantalizing premise, and a heroine who's an alpha female, forge a solid piece of entertainment that does not disappoint., Like the first novel, [Palace of Treason] is as suspenseful and cinematic as the best spy movies around. Matthews knows his tradecraft, and he knows his writing craft, too., Red Sparrow ,Jason Matthews's debut thriller, is a challenging act to follow. Palaceof Treason , the sequel to Red Sparrow , does not disappoint. Thebook is enthralling. Matthews deftly weaves in enough back story to hookboth new readers and those returning. Palace of Treason shimmers withauthenticity. The villains are richly drawn...the scenes of them on thejob are beyond chilling. Whether in Vienna, Moscow, or Washington,Matthews's scene-setting is superb, and he has a fine eye for telling details., Matthews's exceptional first novel will please fans of classic spy fiction... [a] complex, high-stakes plot., A smart, intriguing tale...Fans of John Le Carre and Ian Fleming will happily embrace Matthews' central spy., Sublime and sophisticated debut... Red Sparrow isn't just a fast-paced thriller -- it's a first-rate novel as noteworthy for its superior style as for its gripping depiction of a secretive world., I read till eleven and woke up at five a.m. to finish this book. If it doesn't supplant The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as the next mammoth read, ad if it doesn't take its place alongside le Carré's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, the love of literature and jaw-dropping thrills really is dead. I learned more about the former Soviets and the new Russians, and about our US of A, than I ever gleaned from the hardest-working journalists today. Halfway through, I was afraid Vladimir Putin would find out I was reading Red Sparrow and have me arrested. I have not read a more exciting, gripping novel in a long time., Matthews' vast experience working in the shadowy world of espionage and spycraft lends an authenticity to his story that few can equal.And it doesn't hurt that he can write. While Ian Fleming's work had a bit of a campy feel to it, Matthews doesn't take that approach; his spies are grittier and more human, more like those of John le Carr, and his knowledge of the inner workings of that world adds authenticity that other current writers simply can't approach...This is another must-read for fans of the spy genre., Matthews' first novel, a globe-trotting spy thriller, features enough action to satisfy even the most demanding of adrenaline junkies., Matthews' vast experience working in the shadowy world of espionage and spycraft lends an authenticity to his story that few can equal.And it doesn't hurt that he can write. There's plenty of action and many taut moments, but readers shouldn't open a Matthews book expecting James Bond. While Ian Fleming's work had a bit of a campy feel to it, Matthews doesn't take that approach; his spies are grittier and more human, more like those of John le Carré, and his knowledge of the inner workings of that world adds authenticity that other current writers simply can't approach...This is another must-read for fans of the spy genre., On a scale of one to five stars, Palace of Treason is a six. With Palace of Treason , Jason Matthews has resurrected the spy novel from the doldrums of silly car chases, martinis shaken not stirred, and dubious tradecraft to reflect the deadly serious stakes of the new Cold War., Jason Matthews has an amazing feel for the insider lingo and relentless intrigue of the spy's life. Palace of Treason is a harrowing look into the lives of spies...This is stay-up-all-night reading, and we're pummeled by hair-trigger actions on every page., Sublime and sophisticated debut... Red Sparrow isn't just a fast-paced thriller - it's a first-rate novel as noteworthy for its superior style as for its gripping depiction of a secretive world., Matthews'characters are intensely sympathetic or stupendously vile; and the writing is entrancing in its exactitude and dark fluidity. With escalating dramatizations of intelligence work noble, nefarious, and absurd; horrifying scenes of intimate violence; interludes of perilous lust; and unnervingly prescient,headline-matching incidents, Matthews' latest is an extraordinarily commanding,acidly relevant, and unrelentingly suspenseful tale of espionage, brutality,and conscience., His real life experiences in the shadowy world of spying make the story fresh, timely and nearly authentic...a sophisticated, behind-the -scenes, powerful story...well-written, creative.

SynopsisRed Sparrow is now a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton From the bestselling, Edgar Award-winning author of the "terrifically good" ( The New York Times ) Red Sparrow, a compulsively readable new novel about star-crossed Russian agent Dominika Egorova and CIA's Nate Nash in a desperate race to the finish. Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service (SVR) has returned from the West to Moscow. She despises the men she serves, the oligarchs, and crooks, and thugs of Putin's Russia. What no one knows is that Dominika is working for the CIA as Washington's most sensitive penetration of SVR and the Kremlin. As she expertly dodges exposure, Dominika deals with a murderously psychotic boss; survives an Iranian assassination attempt; escapes a counterintelligence ambush; rescues an arrested agent and exfiltrates him out of Russia; and has a chilling midnight conversation in her nightgown with President Putin. Complicating these risks is the fact that Dominika is in love with her CIA handler, Nate Nash, and their lust is as dangerous as committing espionage in Moscow. And when a mole in the SVR finds Dominika's name on a restricted list of sources, it is a virtual death sentence... Just as fast-paced, heart-pounding, and action-packed as Red Sparrow , Jason Matthews's second novel confirms he is "an insider's insider...and a masterful storyteller" (Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author)., Red Sparrow is now a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton!

Written by a real CIA guy!
This book was complicated, fun to read, and was interesting because it seemed so authentic. When I read about the author I saw why: He's an ex-CIA guy. Very suspenseful, well written, and hard to put down. I am looking for more of his books now....Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This book has it all.
I can't decide if this is the best or the second best book I ever read. I am half way through so I will let you know. The other book in contention for the title is the Red Sparrow. Can't wait to get to The Kremlin's Candidate. I wish the world had more people like Marty Gable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
