More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
A thoughtful but unwieldy and polarizing thriller that sets clever American officers against devious Iranian machinations. Reardon begins his first novel with kinetic, slice-of-life portraits of American hero Jordan Wright and chief villain Mustafa Amadi. Jordan is in Umbria, Italy, recuperating from a mission, having successfully--and coincidentally--terminated Mustafa's mentor and five other men, a sin that he coolly, iconoclastically confesses to a priest after wandering into the confessional of a small parish church. The priest absolves Jordan with overly agreeable (and hardly credible) aplomb, and Jordan makes his way south to Assisi to visit the former CIA agent turned Catholic priest who initially recruited him into the world of international espionage. Eventually, his boss briefs him and sends him back stateside to work. From the book's opening chapters, the structure alternates from these good-guy intelligence ops to the bad guys' scheming and maneuvering. Already situated in the United States with economic and personnel resources, Mustafa, whose superior in the Iranian covert forces and fellow "warrior for the jihad" is now removed from the picture, allies with the mysterious Jerome Fernandez-Medina, deciding to fight the capitalist enemy while making some capital for himself. Mustafa, based in Philadelphia, has insinuated himself into the lives of several Iranian families as an "uncle," and he's using adolescent and teenage boys to carry out a mission, kept secret even from the boys, that will eventually take place at the Independence Mall. Mustafa is murderous and intimidating, even a bit over the top, and his consorts are fearful, dutiful and simpering, while the crackerjack squad of law enforcement officers Jordan works with in Philly, including romantic interest Kate, is painted in uniform, straightforward shades of red, white and blue. Sometimes the narrative unfolds too slowly, with an abundance of picking up and dialing cell phones, walking in and out of rooms, and indistinguishable characters hearing and/or participating in predictable, nearly automated conversations. Frequent grammatical and spelling errors provide additional hiccups, even as the climax delivers on its much-anticipated suspense. Unpolished and loosely organized, but more thoughtful and sensitive than other thrillers that vilify the Islamic world.

    How well do you really know your neighbor? Are you certain that

    How well do you really know your neighbor? Are you certain that they are who they claim or appear to be? Government operative Joshua Wright is certain that there are many Americans who are not what they seem. He theorizes that there are many terrorist sleeper cells across the US just biding their time until they are activated. His theory is proven correct when a plot to attack Philadelphia is uncovered. There is a sleeper cell there that has been in place for decades and for its leader, Iranian Mustafa Alfani, the time to strike has finally arrived. However, he plans to betray the trust of of Iran's leaders in order to accept a better offer from a new player. Wright will have to use all his experience to determine where the real threat lies if he is going to stop an attack that would devastate America.

    Enemy Among Us by Randy Reardon is an all too real imagining of something that could very well be going on even as we speak. Sleeper cells may seem like just a literary device employed by the likes of Tom Clancy but there is certainly no reason why they couldn't exist here in the United States. Reardon has created a cast of characters worthy of attention and I look forward to future entries in this series. This book is just long enough to fully develop the storyline while at the same time being short enough to easily be read on a cross-country flight. I throughly enjoyed this book and award it 5/5 stars.

    Fantastic Thriller

    Heard about this book through a family member. It is a absolutely terrific book.

    Jordan Wright is part of a new organization that leads the effort to rid the world of those extremist who had grown tired of sanctions and being humiliated by the US and the Western World.

    As the story unfolds we find out that a group from Iran has been living &planning a mission for twenty years in the United States. The mission is just the start of the planned destruction for our Country.

    The characters in this book are well written and you instantly become
    engrossed in their story and you want to keep reading to find out what happens next.

    This book makes you think "What If"......"What If"

    A Must Read

    ENEMY AMONG US by Randy Reardon is a solid read that should make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up because the plot the evil doers in this thriller are working sounds like something out of today's headlines. It's no stretch to imagine the madmen who fancy themselves the goverment of Iran doing despicable deeds in order to wreak devastation on The United States. Randy Reardon's story is well-plotted, has solid characters you can feel for and credible action and technique. In short, ENEMY AMONG US has everything a thriller needs to scare the heck out of a reader. As authors of eighty-two novels ourselves, we recommend ENEMY AMONG US. SHARON and JERRY AHERN
