The Book of Spies

Now one of the volumes, "The Book of Spies, " has surfaced, and along with it…

Katherine Neville recommends Mesmerized
… gripping insider views, nonstop pacing, and a cliffhanger ending… Fascinating!
Robert Ludlum recommends Mesmerized
Mesmerized is a scorching, action-packed read. Gayle Lynds proves the espionage thriller will continue to excite and fascinate us for a long time to come.
Queen Ellery recommends Mosaic
Lynds has the top thriller writer’s knack of juggling characters, locales, secrets, and surprises while making the pages almost turn themselves.
Elizabeth Lowell recommends Mosaic
A cyclone of a thriller.
John Lescroart recommends Masquerade
Wonderful, sometimes lyrical prose, crackling dialogue in a variety of accents, a poignant love story (or two), and – most of all – characters that are memorable and absolutely alive. I could not put this book down.
Faye Kellerman recommends Masquerade
Page-turning suspense… An edge-of-the-seat spy novel.
Steve Berry recommends The Last Spymaster
A sizzling thrill ride… seamlessly melding global politics, cutting-edge technology, and the dark world of espionage into a compelling, full-blooded novel. [Lynds is] a master of the spy thriller.
Vince Flynn recommends The Last Spymaster
…fascinating characters, nerve-tingling pace, and a great story. It reminds me of Robert Ludlum at his very best. This cements Lynds’ reputation as one of the premier espionage authors of our time.
James Patterson recommends The Book of Spies
Gayle Lynds is one of the best suspense writers in the world. The Book of Spies is a completely unique work, but for the purpose of inciting all of you to read it, let me say Da Vinci Code meets Bourne Identity – which happens to be completely accurate.
Deborah Shlian recommends The Book of Spies
A terrific fast, paced thriller that keeps you up night wanting more.
Josh Conviser recommends The Book of Spies
A thrill ride from beginning to end!
D. P. Lyle recommends Watchlist
This is a fun book. Good story and all those voices. Every writer should read it for examples of VOICE, that undefinable term, if nothing else.
Steve Berry recommends Watchlist
A GREAT story, written by one GREAT author after another, in one GREAT chapter after another. A stellar achievement of collectivity that blows from the starting gate at 100 mph and never slows down. A-thrill-a-page from GREAT thriller masters. Don’t miss this one.
M. J. Rose recommends Watchlist
I wrote the introduction to this page-turner because Watchlist evolved out of an idea Steve Feldberg at Audible.com and I came up with.
Our goal was partly to help raise awareness of ITW – International Thriller Writers – but mostly to create a kick ass thriller. So we asked a bunch of great suspense authors to write a serialized thriller…
A serial novel is hard to pull off, each author has to start where the previous one left off and not only continue the story but set the scene and seed the plot for the next author. These guys did that and more.
Some of the authors involved said writing this serial was like being in a jazz band – riffing on what they heard the other band members playing… all I can say is they wrote one amazing and terrific score.
Lee Child recommends The Book of Spies
Today’s finest espionage writer unleashes an instant classic!
M. J. Rose recommends The Book of Spies
I’m a sucker for the subject of this book – a legendary library, containing written works dating back to ancient Rome and Greece. Such a terrific spy thriller! Such a terrific writer.
James Rollins recommends The Book of Spies
Gayle Lynds is one of the best suspense writers in the world. The Book of Spies is a completely unique work, but for the purpose of enticing all of you to read it, let me say Da Vinci Code meets Bourne Identity—which happens to be completely accurate.
