John Hutcheson is a reporter in Denver, who while on vacation in Canada apparently thwarted some kind of plot by Declan Page to kill a bunch of people there the action took place in the prior novel.
Hutch, who is divorced is having his kids Macie and Logan visit him while he is also being visited by Laura and her son Dillon who were with him in Canada. Hutch believes that Page's father is using his military company to train older teens to fight as soldiers. In the opening of the novel, a squad John Hutcheson is a reporter in Denver, who while on vacation in Canada apparently thwarted some kind of plot by Declan Page to kill a bunch of people there the action took place in the prior novel.
In the opening of the novel, a squad from his company is involved in a secret mission --which one guy thinks is merely part of a video collection, but who learns that the actors being killed are real people including children. Hutch gets contacted by a psychologist Nichols who used to work for Page who claims he has information about Page's plans, and Hutch tries to investigate Page while the visit goes on.
He is called to Page's corporate headquarters to interview Page and while at a hotel after his visit is sent a video that shows Laura, Dillon, Macie and Logan being live videoed. Page is showing the video to Hutch to get him to stop investigating him, but something goes wrong, Logan is kidnapped and Page sends his men to kill Laura and the others as well as Hutch. The novel then slides into a battle between Hutch and the family against three hit squads from Page and ultimately a contest between Page and Hutch.
The book moves fast and the the action is quick in the latter stages.
Hutch is believable as an action hero but not much as a reporter. He is not an expert with guns but is an accomplished archer and the ending is a little surprising although in reality I never thought the action was mysterious, and you always know who is going to win out in the end. Read this one because I liked its predecessor Deadfall so much. Just like most movie sequels--lost a lot of punch along the way.
I though this book lacked the excitement of the first book.

Started slow but ended well Good book. Great characters, well developed. There were several slow parts with almost thought monologues, I felt like those were a bit much. The story was great and made up for the overabundance of information. I'll keep reading the Hutch books. Excited for the crossover with the immortals Suspense and excitement from the beginning. Will even recommend to my kids.

Apr 17, Janna Ryan rated it really liked it. I am a huge fan of Robert's books. The concept for "Deadlock" was intriguing My only regret is that I did not read "Deadfall" before I dove into this one, especially since it was sitting on my bookshelf just begging for me to pick it up. Granted, it was not necessary to read Deadfall first, but it would have answered a lot of little questions much sooner, wit I am a huge fan of Robert's books.
Granted, it was not necessary to read Deadfall first, but it would have answered a lot of little questions much sooner, with a lot of the characters being returning characters it would have simplified my thought process. But that aside, this book was awesome! I read it in less than a day and it is not a small book. I believe that Robert Liparulo is the Tom Clancy, John Grisham kind of author for Christians, gritty, keep you on the edge of your seat, intrigue, murder, mystery, suspense In Deadlock there are strong characters, including Laura who is quite capable of kicking butt on her own - especially as mama bear protecting her cubs.
Hutch is a one man Rambo - but the kids are pretty incredible too - give Dillon a bow and arrow and get out of his way! The bad guys are really bad, unless they are confused about what is reality and what is just a game. Good is found in unlikely places and bad is just everywhere.

QRBO are teams of four who's goal is to move in quickly, eliminate the target and get back out. Page's training of soldier's consists of having them go through a vitural reality simulation training program. The catch is that the bullets are real and so is the blood. I picked up this book not realizing that it was the next book in a long of books to feature John Hutchinson. I did not have a problem with this but I did have a problem with the fact that this story incorpated events that happened in what I can guess to be the prior story.
I could pick up that there was history between Page and Hutch that involved events that took place in Canada. This was brought up a lot through out the story.

It drove me crazy as I was trying to figure out what happened but couldn't till about half way into the book. Then I had a pretty good idea of what transpired. Having said all this, Deadlock is the first book I have read by this author and it won't be the last.

I recommend reading it to understand the whole backstory. This book picks up a year after Deadfall.

He has it now, but doesn't share enough quality time since he is obsessed with Brenden Page, the father of the killer of his friends and Laura Fuller's husband, Tom. When Laura and her son, Dillon, visit Hutch, his obsession takes a fateful turn. I was engrossed in this book almost from page one. It was very quick-paced and easy to read.
Deadfall took me a week to read because it dragged a little and had a few ideas that were a little out there for me, but this one only took me a day to finish. The soldier training ideas were all very believable and possible.

Brenden Page was a good villain that was easy to dislike. This is an excellent, well-written book. This book includes bloody death scenes, but not overly descriptive. It does not include any foul language. View all 3 comments. Nov 09, Richard rated it really liked it. Deadlock continues the story of bow hunter John Hutchinson. The first novel being Deadfall.

This sends Hutchinson into a race to find his son and exact revenge on Page.
This book reads fast because of the short chapters. The characters are fleshed out so it's more than a summer easy action read. However I was disappointed in the number of times the characters used a cuss word. I thought this was a book published by a Christian company. Outside of that one minor flaw, Deadlock is almost as good as Deadfall.
