From Publishers Weekly

Is it too early to declare Finder's fifth novel (after High Crimes) the most entertaining thriller of 2004? Probably, but it will be a surprise if another suspenser proves as much sheer fun as Finder's robust tale of corporate espionage. Narrator Adam Cassidy's trip to hell begins when he charges to the company an unauthorized, very expensive party for a retiring blue-collar laborer at their place of work, Wyatt Telecom. Caught, low-level staffer Adam is given an offer he can't refuse by monstrously slick and wealthy CEO Nick Wyatt: penetrate rival high-tech giant Trion Systems and get the goods on Trion's killer new products, or face a battery of felony charges. Adam accepts the deal, and days later he's at Trion, along with false credentials that persuade Trion that he was a key player at Wyatt Telecom, rather than a cube-squatting shlub. Finder presents Adam's thrust into Trion as the scary, grand adventure of a stranger in a strange land, as Adam must contend with a new corporate culture and a host of envious enemies, particularly once he's tapped to be Trion founder Jock Goddard's personal assistant. As Adam comes to admire, even to love, Jock, the demands by Wyatt for ever better intel grate all the more. But if Adam refuses, prison awaits, and anyway he loves his big new salary and perks, not to mention his new, lovely Trion bedmate. Adam's love/hate relationship with his bitter, dying dad and his fragmenting friendship with a pal he's left behind add texture to the relentless suspense, punctuated by tense cloak-and-dagger scenes as Adam steals secrets from his new bosses. A first-rate surprise ending packs a wallop. This novel is the real deal: a thriller that actually will keep readers up way past their bedtimes.

From AudioFile

Of all the rogues in Finder's novel, Adam Cassidy, our hero, is the most likable. Adam is in deep trouble. He has used several company accounts to throw a big retirement bash for one of the loading platform workers, and he gets caught. He has a choice: Either go to jail for many years or commit corporate espionage, and he opts for the latter. This thriller is engaging from the opening lines and doesn't let up until the surprising end. Scott Brick narrates flawlessly, using one voice that manages not only to portray Adam's satiric sense of humor but also to capture each of the many other characters' personalities. By using a variety of tempos and modulating his voice, Brick maintains tension and builds nonstop suspense. This great performance is a perfect fit for the writing. S.S.R.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Very fast paced, many twists and turns!, Avril 18 2005
Par Andrew (Brampton, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Paranoia (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading Paranoia. It was one of those books that I just couldn't put down once I started. Its about a young man, working as a low-level corporate blue-collar type. One day, he throws a party for a friend, using his company's funds, and this gets him into a lot of trouble. His company blackmails him to become a spy for their biggest rival. This is when things get interesting...

The book has a shocking twist that I didn't see coming. The author is great in the way he makes all the tiny details click in the end, when the truth is revealed. This is a skill that many authors lack.

The only downside to the book, in my opinion, is the ending. It leaves off with the main character not making a decision about his future, which in a way is good, as it lets the reader's immagination fill in the blanks. But for me, the ending was a bit weak. But overall, Paranoia is certainly worth reading!

1.0étoiles sur 5 once again, a veteran writer of mediocrity, Juil 19 2004
Par justareader (yorba linda, ca United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Paranoia: A Novel (Hardcover)
i was almost fooled again by those 5 stars ratings and almost took my credit card out to buy this one. but past memories and experience in this specific writer called a halt of my mindless next movement, and i have forced myself to stand in front the shelves to fast read this book about 2 3rd. my god, what a bomber again! i think j. f. should put away his pen or his laptop and hibernate for another 10 years and never expected to be missed. because like some of the other cliched and formatted writers, j. patterson, s. woods, l. block, s. crafton, his books are always so shallow and so predictable albeit sneakily goofying other writers stuff into his own books. those twists are so pretentiously, so obviously, so purposely done for his marketing in mind only. there's no taste whatsoever to be recommended, rated r or rated pg-13, it simply doesn't matter, because they are all coming out of the disney world. so many thrill rides, so much fun, but all in all, those themes are still kids' stuff, and of course also harmlessly good for the parents who have to accompany their kids. anyway, i'd like to recommend those who gave 5 stars to this book to read another great writer, steve alten, i'm definitely sure that they'd appreciate him too. i rest my case.
