This book sounds like it would have a lot of reader goodwill from the get-go. Two of my fave suspense romances of all are set in Egypt; the idea of a completely different but equally complex pyramid culture is fascinating. And considering my sorrow about Heath Ledger, the idea of an Aussie main character is all good.

Despite the hero’s name being “Fletch” (I keep picturing Chevy Chase) this book sounds awesome, and I would like to add my name to the ARC lottery!

I’ve read all the Bullet Catcher books to date and I read all the troubleshooters books up to and including the Gina and Max story but haven’t read any Brockmann since that time.

St. Claire writes a slightly different type of suspense because of a couple of things. First off, the concerns are mostly domestic and do not involve large scale military action so you don’t get the same type of brotherhood between the Bulletcatchers that you got with the SEALs. I kind of liked the difference because some of the bodyguards don’t particularly like each other and I actually find that to be a bit more believable due to the fact that these are all alpha male types with a lot of testosterone.

My favorite Brockmann book is Over the Edge followed by Out of Control. I would compare St. Claire’s books a bit to the tempo of Out of Control. There also isn’t as much attention paid to secondary characters. The main focus of St. Claire’s books are on the hero and heroine.
