Politics, sex, corruption, blackmail, lies...
and that's just the first three pages!

As teenagers, Alison and Derek were lovers--but chose opposite directions which tore them apart.
Now adults, the pursuit of their incompatible dreams turns them into enemies who must deny their love for each other. But the real-world consequences of their actions bring them together in an alliance of mutual self-preservation--and cause them both to question their every belief.

Trust Your Enemies is a novel of ideas that's packed with action and adventure. It's a political thriller--but one like no other you've ever read.

Alison McGuire is the indispensable "right-hand" to Australia's next Prime Minister. She's one step away from achieving the goal of a lifetime . . . when she's suddenly ensnared in a web of power and intrigue by Frank McKurn, a devious, Machiavellian politician.

In her frantic race for survival, Alison must deliver a knockout blow to demolish McKurn . . . before it's too late. But how? . . .

To win, they must risk everything

In desperation, Alison turns for help to the key people in her life: An acerbic-tongued newspaper columnist--who ends up in a coma. A secretive computer hacker who discovers incriminating evidence--and then is forced into hiding. A police officer who's abruptly removed from a crucial investigation. A politician supposedly on her side--who shows his true, spineless colors at the worst possible moment.

With her every resource exhausted, she faces a life-or-death question: Can she trust Derek Olsson--the man she once loved? The man she mistakenly thinks deceived and betrayed her, who she now regards as an enemy?

Meanwhile, Olsson is nowhere to be found. He's on the run, wanted by the police for a murder he claims he didn't commit. A drug-dealing Triad king has offered a reward for his head--without the body. And a powerful politician must shut Olsson's mouth--or risk spending the rest of his life in prison.

A battle of liberty against power

Only by joining forces can Alison and Olsson both survive. The irony is that they don't yet know it. Alison must first overcome her anger and bury the hatchet--and time is running out.

A shadowy contract hit man is pursuing them both. Known only as "The Assassin," he has never failed.

But Trust Your Enemies is far more than a page-turning action novel. You'll be plunged into the seamy underbelly of partisan politics, a world where no one is a friend and--paradoxically--the only people you can really trust may be your enemies. Woven through the novel are challenging and controversial themes, ranging from the psychological motives behind power and corruption to the eternal human desire for freedom and individualism. The key characters learn, dramatically, that when you make the wrong choices, you get the opposite of what you set out to achieve--and they take you on an inspiring journey of moral redemption and personal liberation that will have you cheering when you reach the end.

***** WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT TRUST YOUR ENEMIES *****

"I'm hooked from page one" --Jo Ann Skousen, writer, reviewer and critic, New York

"Trust Your Enemies is a blockbuster! I loved it. . . . One of the things I really liked was no typecasting. The people in government, the Christians, the cops, the Muslims--even the bad guys--are all human beings instead of 2D cutouts. And the hero wasn't perfect either -- hallelujah!" --Ellen Young, editor, Vermont

"The way you describe Alison McGuire makes her the sexiest woman I can imagine" --Kirsten Perucci, investor, Sydney, Australia

"Meet the woman you want to be. The woman you hope your boyfriend NEVER meets!" --Raquel Narcia, teacher, Manila, Philippines

5,0 su 5 stelle fun novel with libertarian themes
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 marzo 2013
Acquisto verificato
I read this novel because Mark Tier is known as a pro-capitalism and pro-freedom writer with ideas overlapping the ideas of Ayn Rand.

I was not disappointed. The novel is exactly what I like: an action/romance story that has libertarian themes. The hero, Derek, is a strong and intriguing character filled with surprises. The two heroines, Alison and Karla, also provide the story with interesting viewpoints. I actually wound up liking Karla the most because of the perfect manifesto of her MYOBB political party.

The moral debate going on throughout the novel is focussed on modern-day politics and the tendency for ever-growing government to provide favors in exchange for donations. And, other topics are addressed as well: drug legalization, aid to corrupt foreign governments, a woman's decision regarding abortion, "libel" laws that squelch the truth, and the spread of Islamic fundamentalism.

Sadly, some of the points made by the villain, Frank, seem to be true. For example, most voters go along with the opinions of the media without questioning those opinions. And, it seems that politicians are usually rewarded for dishonesty, again because of the failure of most voters to make good decisions. This is a departure from classic libertarian thinking that it is in everyone's self-interest not to cheat other people.

Unfortunately, one similarity between Tier and Rand is that "Trust Your Enemies" has almost as many pages as "Atlas Shrugged." I think both novels could have communicated the same ideas in half the pages.

But overall, I highly recommend the novel particularly for those interested in libertarianism.

5,0 su 5 stelle A page turner

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is fast moving and a real page turner. I never thought politics could be made so exciting. The characterisation is excellent and I was really sorry when the story ended and "my friends" departed.

The plot believable and the moral dilemmas bang up to date. A speech by one of the main characters towards the end was inspiring. I recommend this book whole heartedly.

4,0 su 5 stelle A thought-provoking tale of blackmail, lust & politics down under
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 maggio 2012

"Mark Tier has a writing style as fluid as John Grisham's or John Le Carre's, a vivid imagination, and an obvious willingness to research his subject thoroughly. The result is a fictional account of a vast, complex landscape of noble drug dealers pursued by ruthless gangsters, and enterprising bureaucrats set against dirty politicians, whilst upstanding investigative journalists and principled computer hackers also get in the fray, all entwined by a domestic war on drugs and a conflict on foreign soil. If that is not enough excitement for you, Tier even takes the opportunity to infuse the story with a libertarian take on politics and philosophical proselytizing between characters, reminiscent of Rand's ` The Fountainhead'. Frank McKurn as the scheming Senator visibly lifts off the page as do all the other politicians who care only about...of course, getting re-elected. Alison McGuire, who overcomes childhood trauma, becomes the type of heroine young women might aspire to: principled, pretty and packing a powerful punch--she comes replete with black belts in Aikido and Karate. You can't pigeon-hole the philosophizing, morally upright drug-dealer Derek Olsson, but that's the whole beauty of it."

3,0 su 5 stelle Quite a good read
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 ottobre 2013
Acquisto verificato
It seemed to be a very long novel, (I was reading it on my mobile), but interesting, diverse. The hero got out of so many impossible situations that my disbelief was having a hard time staying suspended. Also the write-up described the novel as being akin to the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy - had they read them??? This story is nothing like. But for that I might have given a fourth star!

3,0 su 5 stelle ENJOYABLE BUT FLAWED
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 agosto 2012

I found Trust Your Enemies an enjoyable read but with a few major flaws. The story was interesting, exciting with all the necessary ingredients of sex and violence. For me living in Sydney I enjoyed the accurate references to places I know well like Glebe Point Road, the Rocks etc. The two major flaws that stopped me giving it a higher rating were the length (too long) and the libertarianism. Mark Tier seems to base his case for no government, no taxation etc on the idea that politicians and government workers and even university professors spend all their time scrambling for power with no concern for anything else. Unfortunately this is just wrong. Despite what the book says about Professor Barry Easton a lot of time is spent at Universities teaching, learning, studying and researching all sorts of things. I have been a member of a political party and know that an enormous amount of time in all levels is spent discussing issues from welfare of the seriously disabled (a current issue in Australian politics) to the plight of refugees, state of the economy etc. Mark Tier says the left are bound up in principles but the right conservatives have none. Wrong again. Every Politician from both sides enters Parliament with an aim to the change things to what they think is the better. True some get corrupted along the way but not all. In his latter notes Mark mentions Thomas Jefferson as an example of someone warning the people against government. What about Thomas Jefferson himself? A politician who maybe had to struggle with some of his opponents at times but is really remembered his enormous positive legacy for mankind.
