Deep Allegiance

Noah Wolf #16

by David Archer

On a diplomatic mission to discuss possible E&E assistance to the European Union, Donald Jefferson falls victim to an international assassin and Allison is in shock. With the intelligence community at a loss to find out who was behind the attack, Noah and Team Camelot are called on to track down the elusive criminal kingpin known only as Spear and bring his powerful murder cartel to an end.

The only way to determine who Spear is, however, is to infiltrate his organization, and that requires Noah, Neil, Jenny, Marco and Renée to all go into deep cover. Trouble follows, though, when Renée seems to have fallen under Spear’s sway and turned against the team.

With Marco insisting that Renee would never turn traitor, Noah has to decide whether to obey the order to eliminate her or risk everything to bring her back in from the cold. And he’s only got hours left to do so.

Not a bad story, although it does seem to be a transition type of book. It seems that the author is changing up a couple of the series he writes, and this one is also getting a makeover.


One thing about the author, he is not afraid of killing off long standing secondary characters. One of his other series was a practical bloodbath in how many secondary characters were killed or traumatized.

Noah and the team go after yet another organization bent on world domination after the second in command of E&E is assassinated. However, the author does a few twists.
BIG SPOILER next


In a nice hat tip to The Manchurian Candidate one of Camelot's team is psychologically conditioned to perform an assassination by the assassin when a key phrase is uttered. Although not really sure she was held long enough for it to work, it was a nice homage.


Camelot then decides to offer a job to the assassin in return to his help on bring down the Spear, the organization that manipulates governments and events to bring about its world domination. While he has done this in the past, in this case it seems a little too unbelievable. How would Dawson operate in an organization in which he had been responsible for killing the second in command?

When Donald Jefferson is targeted and killed by the Spear, I don't think a reason is ever given. It seems that the MO of the Spear was to assassinate someone in order to fill a vacancy that then is filled by someone they could manipulate. However, in Jefferson's case, he was just assassinated. Maybe I missed it, but other then the author wanting to set events in motion to bring about leadership changes to E&E, there wasn't really a contextual reason for Jefferson to be assassinated. Also, Dr. Parker's warning about "other forces in play" and hints of issues in Jefferson's past are never mentioned again. Maybe it is setup for future book story lines?

There are a few more plot inconsistencies, such as would you really allow an agent, your least experienced agent, who had been held hostage and psychologically tortured to then immediately accompany the team to the party where they expect to find their target who held her?


While there are a few holes in this plot, it was an improvement over the previous book, and I look forward to the next book to see how the author handles the changes he made in this book.

This rating should be a 3.5, but will round up because it kept me interested, and it's setup at the end for the next book is intriguing.

I love everything about this series. The characters are real, the settings lovely, and the premise that there could actually be such a government agency. Noah and his new team go on a hunt for a bunch of diplomats and congressmen who are trying overtake the government, they have to first take care of the #1 assasin who is very elusive and taking down a number of prominent people.
The ending will completely surprise you.
You can read these stories alone but to get the whole picture the series is best!!!

Another interesting ride

This was another interesting read in the story off Noah Wolf and E&E. It is always fun to escape into the world of team Camelot and get caught up on where everyone is in this world. You get to feel that somewhere out there might be someone looking If It for the betterment of mankind. If you enjoy stories of intrigued, than this series to a good one to start up. Happy reading!

The latest book in The Camelot Series was awesome, the Team has to avenge the loss of one of its leaders. Noah has fully recovered from the last mission and has been ordered to Eliminate the most powerful group in the world. Again, " The Kissinger Doctrine " is fueling this Terrorist Group and people believe that Kissinger was an orginal member of the group.

Wow. What an elaborate shell game, only with people! They have some help from another of E & E's many employees and he brings to mind the old show Mission Impossible again. This is a very fast paced and exciting read. Can't wait to get to the end soon. But at the same time, I don't want the adventures to stop. Fabulous ending and cannot wait to begin Book 17, Pack Leader.

Team Noah

Another great chapter has ended and Noah and the gang have bopped from one side of the world to another in the name of avenging the loss of one of their top people. The character lost has been an integral part of the story. That's always a shake up, and as things get deeper, the suspense at what is coming next keeps increasing!

Awesome Camelot!

Man, I’ve been absent on these books for awhile. I didn’t know there were books #16, #17 and #18 out! But the action still leaves my heart pumping! Thanks for the memories of stories past. Well thought out and written and what a great story!

Changing of the Guard

Terrific storyline and interesting characters, surprisingly high in government. That was an eye opener! Noah gets to be "top banana" and he stays home with Sarah, but can still go out on missions once in a while. Sad beginning, but a happy ending.

Good reading

Love Archer’s books. Fast reading, intrigue over intrigue. Characters well developed and interactions among them are very real. Themes are only too real as our world spins monsters around and spits them out to be destroyed by Wolf and family

[John A. Sillasen · Rating 5 out of 5]

read and Reviewed Already but not

Not showing up as read in my list. Don't think this should post other than it is the game changer that alters the authors POV and his new writing mate, Vogel. At least in my viewpoint.

[Linda Schmidt- · Rating 5 out of 5]

David Archer's several series have become my #1 reading choice. The Noah Wolf series has captivated me with its current topics, exciting plots, and character development. Even though Deep Allegiance is #16 in the series, it is still interesting and fulfills my goal in pleasure reading.
