Book Reviews of Assumed Identity

Book Review: One of the best books I have ever read
Summary: 5 Stars

Assumed Identity starts with a brilliant premise -- an intelligence operative who is as much a Method actor as he is a spy -- and runs with it for over 400 pages. However, what makes this book special is not its intricate plot,but it's character study of a burned-out, tormented figure, Brendan Buchanan.

Certainly the most complex individual I've come across in years of reading spy novels, Buchanan is a masterpiece of characterization. So skilled is he at assuming false identities in the course of his work that his own identity is all but gone. And the battle he wages -- to find his former love, protect his new partner, and save his own life -- is as much to defeat the evil facing him as it is to get his life back, if that's even possible.

Assumed Identity also is one of David Morrell's most plausible works. Morrell has played fast and loose with spy tradecraft and facts in previous books, like The Fraternity of the Stone and The Brotherhood of the Rose, but he's clearly done his homework here.

David Morrell has evoked comparisons with Graham Greene and Ernest Hemingway. I think he deserves them, and Assumed Identity is proof positive of his talent.

Summary of Assumed Identity

From the author of The Covenant of the Flame and The Fifth Profession. Brendan Buchanan is an undercover intelligence operative who has impersonated more than 200 people in the last eight years. But now his multi-personality occupation threatens to destroy him.
