Product Description

Product Description

Her sister had vanished, trapped in a human slavery ring. To find her, FSB agent Yanna Andrevka arranged her own kidnapping into Taiwan's sex-trafficking trade. And found herself with no way out.

Until Yanna discovered an ally deep undercover: Delta Force captain David Curtiss. He was after the kingpin of the Twin Serpents, the organized crime syndicate that had Yanna—and hundreds of others— in their clutches.

With opposite agendas, David and Yanna had to rely on each other to outwit their cold-blooded enemy.

5.0 out of 5 stars TEN STARS! A WONDERFUL READ!!!, July 30 2008
By Stacey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wiser Than Serpents (Mass Market Paperback)
Susan May Warren brilliantly brings her Mission: Russia series characters to life in "Wiser Than Serpents". At the same time, she raises awareness of a serious plague attacking the world, today: human trafficking. Russian FSB (formerly KGB) Agent and IT expert, Yanna, has a problem. Her sister, Elena, has been kidnapped into the sex slavery market in Taiwan. She normally turns to her friend and American military operative, David Curtiss, when she is in need. But he is nowhere to be found. Taking matters into her own hands, Yanna arranges for her own capture by the same criminal element in the hopes of saving Elena. When she learns of David's deep undercover involvement in the operation, will it jeopardize both of their missions? Hers, to rescue her sister; his, to take down the Twin Dragons crime syndicate that deals in human trafficking.

Start this novel early in the morning on a day you have nothing to do. You will be completely swept away by Susie's narrative, caught up in the action and intertwined in the lives of her powerful - and intensely romantic - characters. David's conviction as a Christian to not be unequally yoked with a non-believer is a primary struggle in his relationship with Yanna. Susie handles this beautifully. Old friends from previous Mission: Russia novels appear in major leading roles. The horrors of human trafficking are not gruesomely described, but the tense undercurrent is very evident throughout the story. I love that part of the profits for this book go toward combating this terrifying problem. Bravo, Susie! Not only have you opened the eyes of Christian fiction readers to what horrors exist in our own backyards, you have thoroughly entertained with this novel!!! Plus, a conversation between David and Roman led me to do a Bible study on Psalm 73. This is an amazing book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutting Edge, Feb 7 2009
By Nike Chillemi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wiser Than Serpents (Mass Market Paperback)
Russian FSB agent Yanna Andrevka goes under cover without back up to find her sister who thought she was becoming a mail-order bride going to America, but instead was swallowed up by an international slave trade cartel.

Yanna can usually rely on her long time friend and secret love American Delta Force captain (military undercover operative) David Curtiss, but he's nowhere to be found. She assumes he's doing something dangerous in deep cover. She's so right on that one. When she's captured, as is her plan, by the same trafficers who took her sister, David finds her with a gun to her head. He must blow his cover in an operation that took months to set up to take down the Twin Dragons (involved in drugs, arms, and forced prostitution).

Yanna is an FSB (the made over KGB) IT expert, not a field operative, so she makes plenty of tactical blunders during the course of the story. However she doesn't always need David to save her, nor is she always appreciative of his efforts or his fear for her safety. The horrors of human trafficing are not gruesomely described, but neither are they glossed over.

Although this is definitely a stand alone book, Warren constructs a plot with many twists and turns, bringing characters from former books in this Mission Russia series. Sparks fly as Yanna and David try to achieve their seperate agendas, sometimes endangering each other, sometimes rescuing each other, always dealing with the chemistry they feel for each other. David has a monumental struggle trying to handle his deep love for Yanna, as he will not allow himself to be unequally yoked in marriage.

This is a compelling story of unrequited love amidst a thrilling adventure frought with danger, some of it brought on by the character flaws of the two main characters. It's a really good read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some of the worst writing I have ever seen, Jan 25 2012

This review is from: Wiser Than Serpents (Mass Market Paperback)
After the reviews about this book and looking for something written about human trafficking, I downloaded it to my iPad. What a joke. The author has an English name which implies it is her first language. You wouldn't think so after reading this tosh. I don't know what else she writes but I would suggest sticking to Stephen Leather, Andy Mcnab or Tom Cain if you enjoy any kind of action. This book starts off in an exciting place but soon the writing style has me wishing I had never bought the thing. Descriptions of situations are long winded and flowery. Words used were not emotive and I didn't feel particularly tense when reading any of it. I didn't feel like turning the page anymore after the first few. I just deleted the book. The one determining factor about deleting this book was when I saw the word "egress" for the second time in the book. Who uses that word? Escape would have been fine. Does she use a synonym dictionary to find more interesting words or does she use google translate from her native tongue into english? I skipped whole sections of the book looking for action. Nothing moved me. Total waste of time. I'm disappointed that people would give this 5 stars and mislead others into buying it.
