I enjoyed 'Bargained for Exchange' even though international thrillers are not my usual choice in novels. I was intrigued by the main character John Cann and was 'hooked' in the first few pages.Then I became quickly enthralled with the other characters and found myself thinking of them as real people. Macomber interweaves many locations & characters so well that his very creative story is easy to follow.I am reluctant to give away any of the plot but will say this much....I found myself moved to tears over what happened to Janie; then felt tremendous anger. The last few chapters are page turners during which I found myself 'cheering' for John Cann against the bad guys.Imagine a novelist that combines Clancy's best 'thriller' skills along with the legal expertise of Grisham....that's James Macomber! I highly recommend 'Bargained for Exchange' and look forward to reading more of John Cann's adventures.
Exciting novel that brings out your emotions.

Very original novel. While it is fiction, it was quite clear that the President and those running for Prime Minister of Israel referred to real people (that is if you call Bill Clinton a real person). It shows some of what is wrong in the Universties today and how the P.C. crwod has taken over. It ended with an exciting and satisfying climax. The characters seemed real, some likable, some the opposite. I appreciated Geoff Metcalf turning me onto the book and I cannot wait for his next one.

Gripping! I kept reading faster & faster, but didn't want to miss anything. Couldn't wait to get to the end ... and what an ending it was!

The book captured me from the very first page. The author has created a new level of international intrigue, from the Carolinas to the Middle East ... and it all blends together. A new Ludlum and Clancy has arrived.

This book was a gripping and compelling mystery. The international intrigue interwoven into a scandalous campus plot was unbelievably real and effective. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery.
