Deadfall is the first book I have read by Robert Liparulo. It won’t be my last. I was hooked from the first page although my cowardly side wanted me to put it away where I wouldn’t have to face what I knew was coming if I read it all.
The burning question raised by Deadfall is “What would happen if the wrong people got hold of the ultimate weapon?” Robert Liparulo explores that question in a frighteningly realistic manner that is totally believable. He gives us a glimpse of characters who have absolutely no conscience or concern for life of any kind. Yet to counterbalance the depravity, he introduces characters who risk everything to help total strangers.
This book is a nail-biter that could keep you awake for hours – both from wanting to see what happens next and the disturbing possibilities it presents. I believe Mr. Liparulo has written a story that is not as far fetched as it might seem. With our rapidly advancing technology and the current generation who have been desensitized by violent video games, TV and movies, we could be looking at a similar scenario before we know it. I applaud his courage in addressing this issue in such a thought provoking manner.
