Daniel Ferry's Field Piece engages the reader immediately in his prologue through creative use of the five senses.  You can experience what the main character is experiencing as he takes you through sound, through visual clues, and through smell.  As you get comfortable with the story line, it escalates into the destruction of his town which he witnesses.  It is as if you can see what Zared sees and experiences. With that - you are hooked.The book is intriguing as the author weaves the characters and roles they play in fulfilling the intentions of the characters.  He sets the stage for the half-brother's hatred of one another which becomes one of the subplots of the book.  Steve Walker, one of the brother's, is sent to investigate who killed an American operative and why.  The characters in the book work with him on his mission and unwittingly assist Steve in the pursuit of his brother who happens to be a main character in the plot that took the life of the operative. At the same time the "enemy camp" sends one of their own, in disguise, to monitor Steve's movements.  Ferry interweaves magnificently the drama of all the subplots involving espionage, sex, and mystery.  Once you begin reading the book, you can't stop until you complete it.Well done Daniel Ferry!
