The Underhanded by Adam Sikes

The Underhanded by Adam Sikes

This isn’t a spy thriller as much as it is an action-adventure.  Professor William Dresden is a discredited historian.  How a historian becomes discredited is part of the plot.  The Professor discovers that his research has inadvertently cast light on the underpinnings of an international conspiracy.  British Intelligence approaches him for help in discovering more about the international conspiracy.  Said approach triggers major changes in the Professor’s life.

Sike builds his characters with depth.  He uses intelligence briefings to give you the necessary background to understand their behavior.  The utilization of current events surrounding the neo-fascist nationalistic and anti-immigration issues provides fuel for the international plot.

Occasionally the complexity of the plot becomes confusing but eventually, all is worked out.   The sequel door is open. Interesting note, not once did anyone call Professor William Dresden, Bill.

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
