Summary
For the first time—in honor of the late Matthew Mather, the master of technothrillers—all three titles in the exhilarating Delta Devlin series are now available in a discounted box set.
With a new foreword written by New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith, this is a series worth losing your head over.
Book 1: The Dreaming Tree
After a near-fatal car crash, Royce Lowell-Vandeweghe wakes up to find he’s one of the first patients to undergo a radical new procedure: a full-body transplant. Convalescing years later and suffering from waking nightmares, he answers the door at his Long Island home and meets Delta Devlin, a New York detective. She sees things nobody else can—visions created by a mutation to her eyes—and meeting Royce sets off an unraveling chain of events …
Book 2: Meet Your Maker
Interpol rookie Delta Devlin witnesses an attempted assassination, but the bullet meant for the Ukrainian prime minister hits her father instead, lodging next to his heart. Investigations reveal that ex–KGB operator Yuri Korshunov smuggled a 3D-printed plastic gun into the UN Building. As her father falls into a mysterious coma, Devlin follows Korshunov and infamous tech wunderkind Lenny Bondar into the underworld of Eastern Europe. There, her worst nightmares materialize from the darkness.
Book 3: Out of Time
Critical components of the Large Hadron Collider, the largest machine ever built, have been stolen, and newly promoted Marshal Delta Devlin is brought in by Interpol to investigate. At the same time, a dead body appears on the shores of the East River in Delta’s hometown of New York City—one with very similar injuries to those left by the serial killer she caught to start her career. As events in the present collide in a tangle of secrets and lies, Delta cannot trust anyone—even her family and loved ones.

Delta Devlin
THE DREAMING TREE:
To be honest, only getting to know Delta Devlin was the only upside to this tale. The entire story took too long to tell.
Royce V’s story could have been interesting if it wasn’t unnecessarily (in my opinion) dragged out - padded - the concept was intriguing and interesting. Also, it didn’t flow from chapter to chapter, given that it had, not only different points of view, but different scenes/characters within those points of view which seemed unconnected. (It’s hard to explain coherently, my best attempt is to say that practically every chapter ends on a cliffhanger and starts again with the same character in the next chapter, with no continuity).
In short, I didn’t enjoy this story. I think it would have been more enjoyable if it had been abridged. 2⭐️’s.
MEET YOUR MAKER:
In this story, Devlin is with Interpol in Europe. The story is as equally complicated as the previous one (not compelling, just complicated)… she doesn’t actually allow people to finish their sentences, she’s always interrupting them. This is very annoying and succeeds in dragging the story along, rather than creating tension and atmosphere, which I assume is what the author was aiming for. Fail.
However, this story is marginally better than the first and leads me to believe that, I do not, in fact, enjoy his writing style…
2½ ⭐️’s
OUT OF TIME:
Pay no attention to my reviews, I just didn’t gel with this series or the protagonist. Everything is geared around her - quite literally - everything that goes wrong, is going wrong because she’s reading everything wrong, isn’t trusting anyone and therefore not discussing anything with anyone else! This is the most convoluted story of the series and there are way too many subplots to make it interesting. And: It goes on for far too long <sigh>.
The base storyline is not necessarily too bizarre to be credible, but her handling of it is… I’m surprised that she has any friends to be honest. I for one am not a fan, but I’m definitely in the minority.
This tale has lowered my rating back to 2⭐️’s
