Review: High-Stakes Intensity
Rating: 5 out of 5

The Stone of Archimedes is one of the most thrilling books I've ever read. It maintained a high pace and was able to keep all of its international intrigue without compromising on the high-stakes intensity. We get an appreciation for the blurred lines between the innocent and guilty. As things turn out to not be as they seem, it really keeps you on edge from beginning to end - you just HAVE to know.I came across this book after readingAn Accidental Spyby Jolyn Jones. In that book our protagonist is also met with an array of choices that will have her analyzing her alliances and what moves she has to make to ensure her safety. Both of these books bring a new appreciation for international espionage riddled with the cultural significance of the time in which the story takes place. I would recommend The Stone of Archimedes by Trevor Scott as well as An Accidental Spy by Jolyn Jones. If you like one, you'll love the other!
