With a title like that, you know there's going to be a major problem in the story -- that's to be expected in Bren Cameron's life. There is no such thing as a quiet vacation, perhaps a bit of a fishing trip (a belief reluctantly held by young Cajeiri as well). Knowing that the southern Marid has made inroads into the coastal area, he must work with his allies to do their best to make certain
Bren has a full house of important guests -- Illisidi, Lord Geigi (returned from space to help with the problems at his estate), Geigi's discredited nephew locked up in the basement, and Cajeiri -- not to mention Toby and Barb. Of course it's a magnet for enemy assassins. And perhaps worse, because it looks as though they might have a viper within their own midst.
Who is the real enemy here? Who can Bren trust?
And what side is he going to come down on when the battle becomes far more personal?
There is only one problem with Deceiver -- it ends too soon, and it ends in the midst of trouble which is going to make it difficult to wait another year to find out what is going on. I want to read more and I want to read it right now.
But you know, that's always been the fun of a Cherryh story. She never leaves you thinking that you've had enough.
So, I'll wait and look forward to the next book.
