Review
"I just had the pleasure of reading "Bargained for Exchange" and my hat is definitely off. I really identified with John Cann right from the beginning which is the mark of a good story teller. If you want a hell of a good read, by a damned good up and coming new thriller novelist, then Jim Macomber's "Bargained for Exchange" is your ticket. Walk, run, or drive to your nearest bookstore for James Macomber's "Bargained for Exchange" before they've sold out. Once you drop into Macomber's world, you better forget about doing much of anything else for a couple of days -you'll be hooked. Guaranteed!

"The intricate plot spins out all its twists and turns and the reader is plunged into a world of political intrigue, Middle East issues, overwrought feminism, and academic machinations. 'Bargained for Exchange' works as a juggling act and a satisfying read." Sarasota Herald-Tribune --Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Even though Jim Macomber's first novel, "Bargained for Exchange", was written in 1996, it is spot on regarding today's events... perceptive, projecting many of today's policies and attitudes towards terror and the Mid-East geo-political situation as a former special forces operative turned lawyer finds himself embroiled in a terror, espionage, legal intrigue story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Macomber also sends many great messages through his story. Honor, integrity, loyalty and commitment to truth and to what is right come across clearly while political correctness and expediency, barbarism, deceit and treachery are shown for the true dangers they are. I believe Macomber's work in this regard to be the equal or better of works by Clancy and Grisham...except Macomber combines both genres into one. Jeff Head, author of the "Dragon's Fury" series. --Jeff Head
