Editorial Reviews

Review

"As with other Gray Spear Society novels, new characters are introduced who blend well with and expand the team's special talents and objectives. Also as with most of the other titles, romance blossoms despite life-or-death struggles and the presence of experienced assailants who deftly play cat-and-mouse games despite Aaron's team's superior (even extraordinary) abilities... Failure turns out to be more than an option in this riveting thriller, which offers no pat conclusion and promises further Gray Spear books to answer some tough questions. Prior fans of the Gray Spear series will find Politics of Blood doesn't disappoint, providing deeper characterization, revealing motivations and political manipulation strategies, and including many new twists and turns to make for an engrossing, fast-paced read."

Book 8 of The Grey Spear Society Series starts with the Legate Ethel showing up unannounced in Chicago because Wesley sent her to Aaron. Wesley calls and tells them something amazing,Aaron, Ethel and the Chicago cell are tasked in protecting the President. He's coming to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention and he will be assassinated while he's there if they don't protect him. According to Wesley he's going to be very important to him in the future. Now not only do they have to figure out who is going to try to assassinate the president but they're going to have to acomplish this while fighting against the secret service to protect him. Tawni is learning how to use her gift and it's pretty cool what the gift she gets involves. People will die and loyalties will be tested during this time. The twins are doing scary experiments with the help of Kamal and training a new assistant hacker. God has told Wesley that the Legate Ethel will find love and there is more and worse to come. I am definitely hooked on this series and love the way the characters seem to jump off the page. Mr. Segal writes this series with such action and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series right from the beginning. Excellent writing, plot, characters, and a building tension in the series as a whole that makes you nuts anticipating the next novel. Thank you for the pace of your publishing. I have never had to wait long for the next book, and that has kept my interest alive throughout the series thus far. Let me say, I would have paid twice the amount you've charged for your novels, perhaps three times, and never would have regretted the expense. Truly excellent stories that have enriched my life for hours on end. Thank you, you have a fan for life.

I have become a total addict of The Gray Spear Society! I love the characters because they are all so unique and fascinating. The stories keep you on the edge of your seat with their fast pace. I cannot wait to read the next book! What I loved most about this one is that the "Ice Queen" has actually opened up her black stone cold heart to let love in. I found that part of the story very heart warming. At times it brought tears to my eyes. I really wish they would make these books into a TV series. It would be wonderful to watch all the excitement, but I am sure it would cost a fortune to produce. Mr. Siegel please please don't keep us waiting too long for your next book. I am always so disappointed when I am done reading one of your books because nothing out there compares. Your BIGGEST FAN!!

You have to read the entire series- it is very engaging and hard to put down. Read it in order. The author does a good job of not repeating or "catching up" from previous books to the next.
If you like scifi and supernatural- you'll love this.

We have the Chicago Cell, the return of some cool characters we've met before plus some wonderful new ones, another hair-raising threat to be stopped, new bad guys AND an unexpected romance!
WOW!

I was waiting for this book to come out,the 8th in The Gray Spear series and I couldn't read it fast enough.I just love this series, the characters are fab, and there are always new interesting characters in each book as well as the established ones the action was as good as ever, and there was some lighter moments too.It ended on a real cliff hanger so I'll be counting down the days to the next book now,if you like action books, with very interesting characters with a supernatural twist, start reading the first book you've just found yourself a great series.I love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not sure where the Chicago Cell is going, but I've got to see!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 1, 2013

As always, the plot of this story is excellent, the pace relentless, the punishments and torture pretty gruesome, and the key characters well up to form. Where I do have some reservations, however, are over the natures and attitudes of the newer members of the Chicago Cell. Go back to the earlier books, and you'll find new members are taught how to obey unquestioningly, are constantly honing their skills, and are expected to be disciplined. Look then at Tawni and Sheryl, and consider whether their whinging, constant questioning why they should do something, not wanting to follow Aaron's orders, Tawni's apparently insatiable and uncontrollable love of violence, and Sheryl's ongoing love affair with money and possessions, fit the initial premise of the series; I'm not sure. I also find Tawni's rabid search for any possible racial slur rather distasteful, since she's hardly ethnically unbiased herself, but that's possibly the author's point.

It's great to watch the changes in Ethel, but I was no more convinced by those than I was by the character of the President, who seemed much too weak a character to have reached such high office, when it was beyond him even to control his own White House secretary, let along the head of the Secret Service; nor could I quite work out why he ended up with the position he did in relation to the Gray Spear Society (trying to avoid a spoiler, but once you've read the book, you'll see what I mean).

While I loved the vignettes of the various extremist groups and their foibles - sadly, all perfectly believable - it was amazingly naive of one of the groups to accept, without taking time to investigate their backgrounds, two total strangers who happened to turn up at a local member's door: " Pure America is having a barbecue today. The top brass will be there. I'm pretty sure I can get you an invitation". At that stage, the speaker doesn't even know their names!

All of that aside, this book is, like the others, full of gore, explosions, torture, and generally gratuitous violence, and it's great fun. I have to keep buying the series, because I really, really need to know what's going to happen next. Well done, Alex Siegel!
