Palace of Treason

A Novel

De: Jason Matthews

Narrado por: Jeremy Bobb

Red Sparrow is now a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton!

The thrilling sequel to Red Sparrow—CIA insider Jason Matthews’s compulsively readable New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award winner—featuring Russian spy Dominika Egorova and CIA agent Nate Nash “shimmers with authenticity. The villains are richly drawn...the scenes of them on the job are beyond chilling” (The New York Times Book Review).

Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service despises the oligarchs, crooks, and thugs of Putin’s Russia—but what no one knows is that she is also working for the CIA. Her “sparrow” training in the art of sexual espionage further complicates the mortal risks she must take, as does her love for her handler Nate Nash—a shared lust that is as dangerous as treason.

As Dominika expertly dodges exposure, she deals with a murderously psychotic boss, survives an Iranian assassination attempt and attempts to rescue an arrested double agent—and thwart Putin’s threatening flirtations. A grand, wildly entertaining ride through the steel-trap mind of a CIA insider, Palace of Treason is a story “as suspenseful and cinematic as the best spy movies” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)—one that feels fresh and so possible, in fact, that it’s doubtful this novel can ever be published in Russia.

Why did the pronunciation of main character change?!

Loved Red Sparrow, seems like a nit, but VERY
distracted by change in name of heroin.

Good spy thriller

Enjoyed this sequel. Great characters and storyline. Suspenseful. Looking forward to author's next book. Loved it.

Couldn't Wait for This Book To Come Out!

And I wasn't disappointed either. Both his books have been great reads
They are current, pulled right from the headlines.
His characters have depth, as does the plot. Lots of intrigue and a little romance too.
His characters seem real also. He is my favorite new author.
Can't wait for next book! Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

He did it again!

I was worried it wouldn't be as good as Red Sparrow but I think Matthews stepped it up. A lot of smart action and intrigue. I personally love the recipes at the end of chapters. A couple of very minor gripes are too much sex and heavy black and white...good guys and bad guys. I watched interview where Matthews talked about trilogy. Can't wait for the next book. Curious if anyone noticed all the insect references when talking about the bad guys.

Great book except for the Russian accent.

The book was a great follow-up to Red Sparrow. However, the Narrator needs quite a bit of work on pronouncing Russian words. While the story was excellent, listening to the pronunciation of the Russian was was painful.
