About the Author

Born in Bristol, England, I have always been an avid reader. Currently living in New Zealand, I've worked in Europe and travelled fairly extensively. I have written various sailing articles and had them published in magazines. Having lived and worked in the Middle East for a number of years, I believe I have a good understanding of the region. I used that experience to write my first full novel 'The Jaws of Revenge'. That was soon followed by my second novel, 'Terror of the Innocent', a third, a short story 'High Seas Hijack', and then my fourth, 'Crossing a Line'. All feature US Navy SEAL John Deacon and some of his colleagues in the Pentagon. The first two also feature his adversary, Saif the Palestinian - an ex-Navy traitor whose mission in life is to destroy the West and, in particular, the USA. The next in the John Deacon series, The Price of Deceit, has just been launched to great reviews. Go to my website - www.mikeboshier.com - for latest details and for freebies! The books I read are from great writers such as Andy McNab, David Baldacci, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Chris Ryan, etc. If you like adventure/thriller novels and like the same writers as I do, then try reading High Seas Hijack, The Jaws of Revenge, Terror of the Innocent., and Crossing a Line. You won't be disappointed! www.mikeboshier.com

The Price of Deceit is the fifth book of Mike Boshier’s I have read. It is both fast paced and exciting, I couldn’t put it down. His knowledge of covert operations and both nuclear submarines and Missiles and international espionage keeps the reader on the edge of there seat. JOHN DEACON is my hero, I would love to meet him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Edgy Military Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019
The Price of Deceit was an exciting thriller and an attention grabbing read. It kept an edgy rhythm throughout the book. Its main character, John Deacon, was amazing and was a realistic portrayal of a covert operative. I liked that he was a regular but very skilled man as opposed to a veritable superhero. I thought the military terms were comprehendible without getting bogged down in too much detail. The pace of the novel is excellent. It doesn’t throw the reader with explosions that happen every tenth page. It’s evenly measured.
My one dispute with this novel is that other characters in John Deacon’s organization aren’t given much to do. I feel that this could be expanded some. Overall, this was a great read and I think that other characters like John Deacon now have admirable competition.
I received a copy of this novel as an ARC and voluntarily leave my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019
I received a copy of this novel for a voluntary review. I really enjoyed this novel from page one. It was set in a geographic area that I knew nothing at all about so I did some history review and that enhanced the novel. It want necessary just really helpful for me. The characters and action are believable and suspenseful. The scariest part of this book is how true it could actually be. I would definitely read more of the novels Mike Boshier has written and/or may write. I am grateful to discover he uses Kindle Unlimited for his books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Exciting Action Novel
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019
The Author Mike Bossier is new to me, and I really enjoyed this book. Even though this is not the usual type of book I read, I found it very exciting and easy to follow and understand. The thing I found disturbing is that it could really happen in real life. I was given this book by Hidden Gems for an honest and freely given review.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018
I do not normally read this type of book but I was given a free copy so I opened it up! I am so glad I did! I was hooked from page 1! John Deacon is a likable character who is very dedicated to his craft! It is amazing that all this could be going on in the real world. I highly recommend this book. I volunteer my review and encourage others to do the same!

Engaging and entertaining. Twists and turns that kept you guessing. The end left an opening for more books in the series and I would like to know what happens next. I was given a free copy of the book to review

Mike has maintained the fine balance between real life events, fiction and technical detail to provide a gripping, fast paced and high-energy action adventure in this, the lastest of the John Deacon series.

All the books in the Deacon series are well researched, well written and provide a masterful mix of adventure and intrigue to ensure the reader is immersed in the plot and eager to turn the next page.

Where will Deacon go next ... I hope we find out soon.

This is the fourth novel I've read by this author and each one has me hooked right till the end. This one is particularly pacey and the attention to detail is astonishing as Boshier describes China's attempts to extend its military influence in the South China seas. Looking forward to the next book from this promising author.

Some parts of the book seem to have no relevance to the main story, those that do are on occasion only covered partially
Getting back to the main story and Deacon is becoming more invincible and his personal life less involved or relevant
