	Mystery Military Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB "Another Stuart Woods unabridged audio started off this quarter with his second book, Deep Lie. This is a thriller involving the a Soviet build up and the CIA's involvement. A 35-year-old female analyst is suspicious about the activity of a number of Soviet incidents, but has no "humint" (human intelligence) with which to garner details. Though it was published 15 years ago (1986 and was Woods' second novel), I thought it was extremely timely in light of the recent terrorist events. Current "security" issues this country suffers has been attributed to the lack of good human intelligence and an over-reliance on technology. Both these issues is the basis of this story. It does begin somewhat slowly, but comes together more rapidly in the second half of the book." - Jeff Kreider - RAM
