Dale Conley works for the BEI, bureau of esoteric investigation! He receives a mysterious ad in the paper telling him the anonymous sender needs help in Oak Ridge, Tn by way of Knoxville,Tn. From then on it’s non stop action. He encounters a disgraced diplomat who is posing as a prophet and environmentalist! Within 2 yrs the man, Asa ends up with an army of brainwashed people. The main thing of note in Oak Ridge is the huge nuclear plant/ city called the secret city! Dale figures the note means the facility is in some kind of danger since he doesn’t know who sent it. Dale tries to infiltrate the group/ Cult that Asa runs. This was a great book. It had plenty of action from Dale, the CIA and the police force that Becker runs for the Secret City! It includes spies, treason and plenty of intrigue! I really enjoy the Dale Conley stories and books! Each book gets better and better and harder to put down!
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel especially after the real action started. Then I couldn’t put it down! I must say that I had to read all the way to the end to see what was going to happen. I was pleasantly surprised. I think you will be too.
This book in the Dale Conley series has unique twists and turns that take Dale into an interesting time in Kentucky history. Dale still maintains the same swagger, but seems to be portrayed in more depth than the first couple books in the series. This is a very enjoyable read!
I received this book at no cost and am voluntarily reviewing it.
I was given an advanced reader copy.
This is another great addition to an awesome series. The characters are well thought out and developed, as well as the plot. I love all the action and Dale’s smart-alec humor, especially the name puns.
You can definitely jump in and read this standalone, but I think it would be even better if you read the whole series so you can get to know Dale Conley better.
I really like the Dale Conley series, they are really evocative of the 1970s, with great attention to detail about the cars, attitudes and fashion of that era, combine this with clever, intriguing plots, great characters and some humour to lighten the mix, and you have extremely enjoyable and readable thrillers.
Dale himself is a superb character, brilliant, with an encyclopedic mind, especially for his speciality, history, but also able to mix it up when things get physical. He is the archetypal 1970s ‘secret agent’ type character, who could easily be lifted from a book of that time, although it is rather nice that he relies on his brain and not a load of gadgets, as most of the heroes from that decade seemed to.
Another big plus for these books is that they are a series, rather than a serial, so each is a complete stand-alone story, something other authors could do with emulating. Also each story is completely different from the rest, formulaic they certainly aren’t, I am sure that this makes them more difficult to write, but I certainly appreciate this aspect of the author’s writing.
So an exciting, original, historically correct story featuring a great lead, and well developed other characters, which certainly kept me turning the pages.
I received an advance copy of this book, but have voluntarily written this honest review.
We meet Asa at the beginning and his followers, the new recruits, the tests, how their minds are now set for what Asa wants..To find the perfect assassin, and he has.

Saying he would be back to his date he became the Hunter after the man, then he soon realized it was a trap, and now he was the prey. Nuclear Clean convention he stumbled into there web of conspiracies, Russian spies, an a prophet . It is intriguing, great flowing plot, that swiftly flows with fast action.

Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
This is an excellent book. I really enjoyed it , well written, easy to read ,page turner, great characters ( even the bad guys ). Good job. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.
Talkin Jive by Erik Carter is another great installment in the Dale Conley series. I love Dale Conley’s wit and his competience and self confidence as he endures a lot of unsettling moments as he tries to get the bad guys. Plot, characters, action, and a page turner all in one book..and MORE! Erik Carter brings home the story and does so with a flare that always leaves me wanting more Dale Conley’s adventures. Smooth reading too. Great book you do not wish to miss. I highly recommend Talkin Jive by Erik Carter. ENJOY!
Fast moving, no wasted mumbo jumbo to fill the pages.
Talkin’ Jive
Dale Conley is a BEI undercover investigator, the “history guy” agent, receives a coded message. He travels to Tennessee, to Oak Ridge, which is somehow tied to the CLEAN conference in Knoxville Tennessee. What Dale Conley uncovers is so much more…
A dangerous Rasputin-like prophet, Asa Hendrix, who is highly charismatic, leading his blinded followers into protests against the use of nuclear power, proclaiming the destruction of the planet due to nuclear waste run off.
But Asa Hendrix isn’t the only mysterious figure in Dale Conley’s sights: there’s also The Guide. No name, no face.
Dale is determined to discover who sent the coded message; when Dale discovers who’s responsible, it changes his entire focus. The freedom of every person in the United States is in peril, and it’s up to Dale Conley to prevent a catastrophic event.
Wow what a ride! This is one suspenseful thriller that really lives up to its name! I couldn’t put it down! Ripped right out of today’s headlines, it sent shivers racing down my spine; it made me think… “What if….?”
