First of all I have to say that if you read the back blurb on the book it actually gives more background on the overall arching series plot than what you learn from this book. Never once are genetically altered humans, secret agents from a MEDUSA project or actual use of hypnotism mentioned during the course of the book as indicated. Despite this I still thought the story was interesting. I liked the mild mannered economics professor Zach Ingram and the psychiatrist, Maisy Dalton. I would definitely call it more of a suspense novel than anything else with a kidnapped Zach trying to convince the unsuspecting Dr. Dalton that he isn't who his "family" claims he is and that they are both in danger. This growing realization of their peril along with couple harrowing escapes thrown in gave this story a nice level of tension that made you want to keep reading. I also enjoyed the relationship between Zach and his brother, Jake, although it really didn't take up much of the story at all.

Taken on its own and not as part of a sci-fi themed series I think this one would be great for lovers of fast moving suspense romances that don't lean heavily into the "bedroom scene" department (or "cave scene" in this case). I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind reading more of this series should I happen upon them. ( )

I like this one, largely. Some of the actions are a little contrived and/or obvious (the dog, the bad guy), but the relationship of the main characters starts out rich and keeps getting richer. And the fact that we know he's been missed and people are looking for him, but they don't, is fun.

It's also a good setup for the series - I read this one first and knew what the overall story was. Since then I've found the various prequels and the story's gotten richer, but this one had all I needed. ( )

Professor Zachary Ingram teaches economics. He's not a hero. He's just an average guy. At least until push comes to shove and he has to find the hero inside himself to survive. Dr. Maisy Dalton is a psychiatrist specializing in the deprogramming of former cult members. When she gets a call about an intriguing case, she can hardly refuse.

What she finds is not exactly what she was told. And Zach is not the man his kidnappers expect him to be.

This is the first full length ebook I've read from Harlequin, and I have to say, it was a fantastic first pick. I only vaguely remember seeing anything about this continuity when it came out in 2003. Obviously I didn't read it then, but I intend to finish it this year.

The strength of this book lies in Maisy and Zach's characterization, I think, though the plot intrigued me and none of the other, secondary characters bugged me. I was a little worried that the "bad guys" would be of the TSTL variety for a while, but Ms. Shayne managed to give them brains and make them not nearly as incompetent as I feared. As a matter of fact, I found myself grudgingly impressed.

I can't imagine the pressure an author must be under to set up a continuity, establish the world and some of the major points of consistency for it, and still somehow manage to write a compelling story. I think Maggie Shayne did all of that expertly with Enemy Mind. If things like genetically enhanced humans and organizations with names like MEDUSA and the Extraordinary Five sound like fun, check out this book! ( )
