"A page-turning roller coaster that feels like Jack Bauer's 24 without sailing over the top." Publishers Weekly "Bob Hamer's debut novel delivers realism only an undercover FBI agent can bring.

Customer Reviews

A Thrilling Read!

Bob Hamer's new book, Enemies Among Us is suspenseful and intriguing! The action within this story draws the reader immediately. However, for me, the appeal wasn't just the thrill of the drama that unfolds in the novel. Drawing on his experiences, this author provides insight that his work as an undercover FBI agent uniquely provides. It intimately portrays the frustrations of the bureaucratic hurdles these agents must face, as well as the thrill and the hardships of the chase. Additionally, the novel provides insight into the mind of criminals and terrorists in a way that few could capture adding to the believability and realism of the story. It also projects a strong Christian message. The perspectives presented leaves you pondering long after the last page is turned. Finally, this book made me realize just how blessed we are by these everyday heroes who risk their lives fighting dangers of which we are often unaware. I enjoyed this book very much and hope to see more from this author!

Matt Hogan

Matt Hogan, willful child of the FBI undercover program; Matt Hogan, family man; Matt Hogan, polished professional who refuses to jump to expedient conclusions Bob Hamer's central character, Matt Hogan, is all of the above. And what is so clever about the novel is how Bob introduces us to his alter ego and keeps us interested. Set aside a few hours when you start to read this book. You'll become so invested in the story you won't want to stop.

Great and believeable read

This is the kind of book I love. It has terrorist plots, undercover FBI work, great plot, and likable and believeable characters. Woven within the plot was also a strong Christian message. I really liked the main character, and hope the author does more books with him as the central character/hero of the story. The story was made all the more believable and enjoyable for me knowing that the author is a former FBI agent who also did his share of undercover work. I highly recommend this book by a new fiction author, and though you women might enjoy it, I would recommend it more for men.

New American Hero

Bob Hamer's new novel, Enemies Among Us, portrays a realistic picture of those that would use our freedoms to destroy us. It is obviously written from a standpoint of knowledge about undercover operations and about the threats that abound in our society as a result of an overabundance of "political correctness". Bob's new protagonist, Matt Hogan,probably an alter ego, is destined to join with the heroes of Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, Lee Child and Brad Thor. Although this book is a "novel", it is probably more truth than fiction. It is a good and enjoyable read, I would recommend it to all those that enjoy mysteries and suspense.
