#READTHIS #OmegaRules by #MoverandShaker #EricVanLustbader @EVanLustbader @MacmillanUSA



It's getting curiouser and curiouser, as Alice would say.
It's not only the New York Rangers that rule, but also Evan and Eric.
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know the highly lauded Eric Van Lustbader, Mover and Shaker. Evan Ryder, the newest protagonist of his career, has proven the third time is a charm with Omega Rules. As we eagerly await the upcoming 4th book in the Evan series, we perused the third to get even more excited!

Now she's working in the private sector, which is something to be proud of. The action is typically Van Lustbaderian nonstop; whom will be fed to the sharks today? We love the eyes/eggs on page 266 and we still look forward to his screenplays and movies. Omega Rules is the latest extravaganza of the imagination of Eric Van Lustbader and the superheroine status of Evan Ryder. We commend the intelligence of women celebrated here as dominant in their field. It certainly seems as though Lyudmila has quite the network and she clearly knows it's not who you know...

The Evan Ryder series reminds us of The Blacklist, a top-notch show that is sadly ending with the international intrigue and stellar plotlines. These are nuanced smartly with deep-thinking characters that go through self-examination and demonstrate retrospective. If you see GRU and think Despicable Me, we believe you are correct and that it is one and the same GRU. This however is minion-free. And Agatha Christie didn't live long enough to think of Death by Laptop.

We also like the culinary endeavors: we see steak frites and apple pie on p. 226. And they stop knitting only to eat. Eric: we spent too much time learning grammar from the great Mover and Shaker Rennie McQuilkin and his super fun blooper exercises. He made all his students grammar sharks. Page 2 should be WHOM Ben Butler...and page 295 should be FEWER people.

We still want that killer emerald ring!

Omega Rules is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.
Evan is coming back soon to Whom You Know; hold your horses.

Evan Ryder returns to uncover an international conspiracy against American democracy in a white-knuckle new thriller by New York Times bestselling author, Eric Van Lustbader.

Evan Ryder was once a field agent for a black-ops arm of the Department of Defense. Now she works for Parachute, a cutting-edge quantum-computing firm whose private espionage network exceeds any government spy agency. But her mission remains the same: seek out and destroy Omega, a fanatical global cult intent on destroying democracy. The fight against Omega has already cost Evan dearly but she will not stop until she has torn out the conspiracy by its roots, no matter the risk.

Evan Ryder returns to uncover an international conspiracy against American democracy in a white-knuckle new thriller by New York Times bestselling author, Eric Van Lustbader. In Omega Rules, the assassination of a Parachute agent in Vienna sets Evan on a dangerous, world-wide hunt for answers and on a collision course with forces so powerful they may be beyond her abilities to annihilate. Once again Lustbader delivers a prescient exploration of the political and ideological forces that are wreaking havoc on the stability of the Western world and its struggling democracies.
