Product Description

Product Description
In this sequel to Sleeping With Strangers, the hunter becomes the hunted when a hit is taken out on hit man Gideon himself. As he struggles to stay alive, he must also deal with those from his past - the woman who taught him to kill has been keeping secrets, and Arizona, the woman he hoped to have as his own, has asked him to kill her sister. The stakes are high and Gideon will need to find out just who his friends - and his enemies - are, if he's going to get out of London, and the game, alive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Be Sure to Read Sleeping with Strangers First, 22 Aug 2007
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Waking with Enemies (Gideon Trilogy 2) (Hardcover)
Waking with Strangers is the sequel to Sleeping with Strangers, which leaves you with a series of cliff hangers. Without that background, you'll probably find Waking with Strangers a little hard to follow. Having read both books, I felt like they were really two parts of one book rather than being a book with a sequel. Why? Here's one reason: Waking with Strangers opens with a very long erotic sequence that doesn't belong at the beginning of a standalone book. The sequence only makes sense if it's in the middle of a longer book.

Here's the basic plot: Gideon is in London performing his chores as an assassin where he realizes that he's been targeted for death by a broken-nosed hit man, probably related to a job Gideon did recently. Gideon has befriended a woman, Lola Mack, he met on the plane whose boy friend has dumped her. A second woman, Mrs. Jones, also returns to Gideon, whom he had also met on the plane. The three enjoy each other in bed while Gideon tries to forget about the danger beyond his hotel room door. Meanwhile, the love-of-his life, Arizona, helps Gideon track down the stalker. Gideon is also determined to come to terms with his prostitute mother who also operates in London. From there, Gideon and the broken-nosed man circle one another until one gets the upper hand. Then, the surprises begin. The tension comes because Gideon is never certain who is on his side . . . and who is his enemy. Stealing pleasure helps to make the risk bearable.

Waking with Enemies lacks a lot of the edge that Sleeping with Strangers had in exploring the life of a hit man. There's extreme danger in Waking with Strangers, but not very much of it. With the exception of a few scenes, Waking with Enemies could be about an unmarried suburban executive who meets some exciting women. By spacing the books apart in time (publishing two books), those who read the books months apart won't feel the same danger and excitement when they begin this book as they did while reading Sleeping with Strangers.

If you read the two books back-to-back now that they are both available, you'll probably find that you think Waking with Enemies is a four-star book.

Those who like a lot of physical action (aside from bedroom sequences) will probably feel like this book is too psychological for them.

In the two books, Mr. Dickey does a fine job of three things:

1. Portraying how having illusions about reality cause problems.

2. Exploring the value of tracking down out illusions and trading illusions for more accurate perceptions.

3. Describing how much more love we can enjoy if we open ourselves to those around us.

For those who enjoy reading well-written sexual encounters, Waking with Enemies will not disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gideon, O Thou Gideon, 27 Sep 2007
By Jenny J.J.I. "A New Yorker" (That Lives in Northern Nevada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Waking with Enemies (Gideon Trilogy 2) (Hardcover)
I received this book in the mail on Monday, and started reading it on Tuesday, finished it on Wednesday. After reading "Sleeping With Strangers," I could hardly await for his sequel "Waking With Enemies." With ten New York Times bestselling novels to his credit I must say that this book was strictly worth the wait!

If you don't know at the end of "Sleeping with Strangers," Gideon wakes to a mysterious, deadly enemy in a world where there's no one he can trust. As an assassin he realizes that he's been targeted for death by a broken-nosed hit man, probably related to a job Gideon had done in Tampa, Fl. Gideon has befriended a woman, Lola Mack, he met on the plane whose been dumped by her man. Another lady by the name of Mrs. Jones also returns to Gideon whom he had also met on the plane. The three enjoy each other in bed while Gideon tries to forget about the danger beyond his hotel room door. Meanwhile, the love-of-his life, Arizona, helps Gideon track down the stalker (more like his shadow) as the hunter becomes the hunted. Meanwhile Gideon is also determined to come to terms with his prostitute mother who also operates in London. From there, Gideon and the broken-nosed man circle one another until one gets the upper hand. Then, the whirl-a-around begins. The pressure comes because Gideon is never certain who is on his side. At the same time, Gideon will need to locate his friends and find out who his real enemies are if he wants to get out of the game alive. In between then pinching pleasure helps to make the risk bearable for him.

The only downfall to this book is the story itself. The plot is really thin but the sex scene seems to carry it on its shoulder to the point you will reach for a cancer stick... and I don't even smoke. The setting was brilliantly portrayed, the characters were developed nicely but I suppose I was expecting a bit more even though I lost sleep reading this. I certainly respect Dickey's craft as an accomplished writer who tells our stories in blazen detail. I was not completely won over like his previous books but was quite content with this one. "Waking With Enemies," is a good book overall, enough sexual connotations to keep me interested, with enough drama and plot to keep me grounded....and like Dickey said 'Deus ex machina' 'look it up'.....A MUST READ.
