Summary: A Tautly Drawn Pyschological Thriller
Comment: With his latest novel, "Mosaic," John R. Maxim has once again served up a deliciously entertaining thriller. In "Mosaic," Maxim takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the dark canyons of the human mind. It's a journey that is fraught with spellbinding twists and turns, government conspiracy, a touch of romance, and in the midst of it all, even a bit of humor. I thought that Maxim's best work had been done in his previous novel "Shawdow Box", however, with Mosaic he has reaffirmed his status as one of America's most entertaining novelists. Clearly, Maxim has done his homework for his latest thriller, as he takes readers down the murky labyrinth of the world of Multiple Personality Disorder where the United States Government is engaged in a secret project aimed at turning MPD patients into perfect assassins. Into this cauldron of suspense Maxim has created a host of richly drawn characters. His two central characters are U.S. Air Force Major Roger Grayson who is a multi-talented undercover agent who has been given the daunting challenge of investigating the secrect government experiments involving Multiple Personality Disorder. Susannah Card is a beautiful and mysterious woman who is a natural "Mosaic" --- a MPD sufferer who has the ability to totally control her different personalities. As the story unfolds, Maxim sets up a unique relationship between Grayson and Susannah in which he offers the reader a glimpse into what it might be like for a person to have several different personalities inside his mind. This is a wonderful read that, from the outset, grabs the reader by the lapels, hauls him out of his seat, and drags him down a path of nail-biting suspense.

Summary: Not as good as his other books
Comment: The book was interesting but for some reason, the story seemed too pat and detached in some places. Also, the romance between Susannah and Grayson could have been developed a bit more, and it seemed a bit forced for them to come together at the end when both had been tentative and plagued by doubts all throughout the book. For those who haven't tried John R. Maxim's books before, read his Bannermann series first. He's an excellent author but perhaps the topic was a challenge even he couldn't quite overcome.
Rating: 3
Summary: 3 1/2 stars
Comment: With Mosaic, Maxim pulls together a solid, entertaining story. A steady, exciting pace keeps the pages turning from start to finish. Character development was quite good. It was easy to internalize the thoughts and motivations of a broad character set. With many of the characters having multiple personalities, however, it was at times difficult to remember who was who. That said, Mosaic is worth a quick read
