Author of Spy Thrillers Says His New Sequel
Reveals Truths
About ‘Enemies Among Us’
GREENWICH, CT — The definition of an “iconoclast” is an
individual who doesn’t buy everything they’re told and
“willingly challenges cherished beliefs or institutions” —
and Nicholas Reagan fits that description to a T. He’s the
hero in Jeffrey Stephens’ new novel,
Enemies Among Us, and Stephens emphasizes that his saga
of corruption and intrigue is not far from the truth.
“Many may have thought the continuing threat from terrorists
was over, but as we now see, it remains incredibly current
and violent,” Stephens said, adding that few would believe
that “corruption within our government, including the CIA,
is something we are dealing with
in real time.”
It may be no coincidence that Stephens seems to be just as
much an iconoclast as his fictional hero, CIA operative
Nicholas Reagan. Enemies Among Us is the sequel to
The Handler, in which Reagan and his partner, Carol
Gellos, are assigned to prevent an attack on U.S. soil
plotted by a terrorist referred to as “The Handler.” While
the good guys are easily identified in The Handler,
it is a bit more difficult to tell the heroes from the
villains in Enemies Among Us.
Still pursuing the terrorist handler in this sequel, Reagan
begins assembling clues to the whereabouts of his prey when
his superiors in the CIA inexplicably order him to stand
down. Accustomed to flaunting authority, Reagan ignores the
directive while seeking to identify the source of this
obstruction. As he probes, it becomes increasingly evident
that the evil he faces is corruption from within.
His suspicions growing, Reagan expands his efforts beyond
the dangerous hunt for a terrorist mastermind to an active
investigation of both his own government and the rich and
powerful who possess the real influence in Washington.
Stephens’ storytelling is known for its attention to detail,
to the point where it feels more like reality than fiction.
The target audience consists of those who favor the
action-packed stories in the Jason Bourne and James Bond
film and book franchises.
An Authors.com review said, “The Handler is a
heart-pounding ride with great narratives and interesting
people and places. It’s got it all — spies, assassins, guns
and terrorist cells … If you liked Vince Flynn novels, you
would love Stephens’ super-cool CIA operative Nick Reagan.”
Enemies Among Us takes this all to the next level.
