Deaver must not have read Ludlum. Having lived in the Silicon Valley since 76', the locations, directions in this book are laughable. To add insult to injury he states the water temperature to be 30 degrees and the main character is in danger of hypothermia. Anyone in the Bay Area knows the temp rarely is below 50 degrees in both the bay and the ocean.As if this wasn't enough to kick me out of the story, the plot was lame. Colter comes across as a Jack Reacher wannabe.The story lacks twists or turns that make a thriller gripping.As I turned the last page, I went what?This one gets one star, and that is being generous. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JD Introduces A New (And Interesting) Series Character *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019* Jeffery Deaver’s latest novel, THE NEVER GAME, introduces a new series character, Colter Shaw. Colter is a home-schooled loner whose dad was an academic and part prophet, part survivalist. He is presented as having been paranoid, but with the proviso that sometimes people are really out to get the (putatively) paranoid. Colter makes his living by (among other things) finding missing persons. He is not a PI and he is not a skip-tracer for bail bondsmen. He is a helpful guy drawn to good causes and he is willing to accept rewards on the installment plan. This is a tad far-fetched, given the financial uncertainties of the job and the uglier forms of competition that Colter will encounter, but this gives him a vagabond, Jack Reacherist quality that many readers will appreciate. Unlike Jack Reacher (but like Brett Battles’ characters), he has individuals a phone call or email away who can search databases, find new jobs, and so on. He does not hitchhike, but rides around on a dirt bike which he tows on the back of his Winnebago. Yes: a crime solver who drives a Winnebago.Colter is drawn into the story of a young woman who has been abducted and forced to play a real-life role in a popular video game. The person is trapped, has five items which can be used to aid in his/her escape and must then either free him or herself or ‘die with dignity’. Set in Silicon Valley (whose blandness JD nails), this is a story ‘about’ video gaming—its banalities, its attractions, its possible benefits and its definite negatives. Gamers will probably enjoy it. Deaver (as expected) knows all of its finer details, while his protagonist is skeptical of its ‘world’ and its social impact.The plot is strong and the subsidiary characters interesting. While the protagonist seeks the characters caught in the video game scenarios he is also pursuing a mystery concerning his father. Thus, the personal and the professional intersect in interesting ways. There is the usual Deaver mystification and the reversals upon reversals. The novel held my interest throughout. I prefer the Lincoln Rhyme concept/character but I will look forward to future novels concerning Colter Shaw. The ending clearly opens the door to a sequel; this is not a standalone (or certainly doesn’t look or feel like one). JD remains one of the most skilled and informed writers of our time. ### ⭐⭐ Shallow Under-developed New Character *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2019* I am conflicted about how I feel about this book. I usually devour Deaver’s books about Lincoln Rhymes (with the exception of the Italian clunker). But I had trouble getting into this new character, didn’t really understand his motivations and kinda resented disclosures near the end (scene spoiler) thatColton’s actually wealthy, and that his phone contact is female. We never find out who this Margot is that he thinks about from time to time. The book should have ended as Maddie Poole drove away and with the offer of another job. Instead it added in Rodent, something vague about Colton’s father and the left us hanging. It was like a poorly written lead in to the next book. (Reminded me of the Blacklist with the never ending search for the FBI agent’s father which got so ridiculous I stopped watching). This book was confusing. I actually had to scroll back to understand why our second victim was murdered. I don’t mind confusion that gradually sorts itself out over the course of a book but hate seeing everything wrapped up with a shiny bow when I have to scroll back to find out how or why it got wrapped up.
