“the old wolf never forgets its old ways…”
Perfect title for a perfect story. The series is a heart-pounding thriller that never lets up, there are so many fronts, it was difficult to keep tabs on them all, a complicated and exciting trapeze, but tightly interwoven, turning it out into a lovely design of colourful kaleidoscope of action, trepidation, suspense, intrigue, deception.. fantastic threads of intense read. Misinformation, disinformation, and betrayal from almost everyone around the protagonist, makes this story a Trademark of breakneck action and suspense. Amazing settings, with great characters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this installment and left wanting for more! I hope the next book comes out soon!

Another great read! I love the characters! I hate when they die. LOL
Lots of action, betrayal, subterfuge, and mind-bending political machinations. This book will not only keep you guessing, but whirling in the wind trying to keep up with the plot twists. Recommended. This is my honest, voluntary review of an advanced reader copy of this book.
Multiple Layers of Deception
In this novel, Canadian Intelligence Service (CIS) operative Javin Pierce is teamed up with a female Israeli MOSSAD agent. Their mission is to try to grab a pair of nuclear scientists before Iranian agents can grab them to build nuclear weapons. Or so it seems, as other countries are involved in trying control events as well. Meanwhile, Claudia, Javin’s CIS partner is trying to locate a 2nd nuclear scientist. As attempts to kill are made on Javin’s team, they must decide who can really be trusted and who are the true enemies: Mossad, the Iranians, the Saudis, British MI5 and MI6?
I enjoyed this book with its web of agents and nations all working to control events to their own best interests. For best enjoyment, the book should be read as part of the series.

Deception
Javin Pierce #6
By Ethan Jones
Javin Pierce is tasked with retrieving a nuclear scientist from Iran before Iran can develop an atomic bomb. But the operation takes a wrong turn forcing Javin to work with Mossad operative Yael to recover a second Iranian scientist. When they get assistance from a Qatari Prince via an aide – support that comes with a price. Qatar needs someone found, someone with terrorist ties who betrayed the prince.
During the operation, Javin receives news that shakes his world. And what’s worse, this operation is about to cost him more than he ever expected. Betrayal is never welcomed, and when the costs become personal, Javin is a man to be reckoned with.
Deception is the sixth book that features Javin Pierce, an agent with CIS. Javin has an intensity that can be unstoppable, and when those who mean the most to him are in danger, you had better watch out if you are behind it. Intense action set in the Middle East, what’s not to like? And the most unlikely individuals could be just the allies Javin needs. Can you trust your enemies with your life? Javin is about to discover who he can trust and who is ready to betray him.
An excellent new offering from Ethan Jones, filled with high-action suspense that does not sacrifice clean reading to achieve it. Highly recommended reading.
