Over the past two years, Agents with the Company have been going
missing. Now, however, they are starting to reappear—psychologically
broken and unable to offer any explanation as to what happened to them.
Abraham Fogg, an analyst, is assigned the task of figuring out what is
going on. His partner on the assignment is Michael Takahashi, a talented
sniper, and the only one to apparently escape the kidnappers...

Once you get past, or should I say
into, the writing style, this is pretty good read. By no means am I saying that
the writing style is bad because the author is very talented. What I mean is
that Through No Fault of My Own reads
like a television show – you jump from one scene to the next with almost no
segue. However, as soon as I realized what was going on, I got right into the
book and enjoyed the ride.
Michael is a sniper for the Company.
His mission goes awry and he gets captured. After several weeks pass, he
manages to escape. With Abe’s introduction to the story we learn that Michael
is just one of many who have been kidnapped, but he is the only one who has
escaped; while several of the others have been returned, they came out of the
ordeal unable to function any longer. After a briefing by his superior, Abe
takes on the assignment to find the mole who has been feeding information to
the kidnappers and he wants Michael on his team. This is where the abruptness
of the writing style becomes really apparent as what follows is a series of
scenes in which Abe and Michael form an operational relationship of
Handler-Agent and work together to find out who is responsible. Were you
watching this on television, the scene changes would be apparent immediately,
but once I realized the format I embraced it and enjoyed watching the
partnership form between the two men.
While Through No Fault of My Own is short, it doesn’t prevent Ms. Alexandrescu
from packing it full of action. Rest assured that Abe and Michael do catch the
responsible party, but there is plenty of action and suspense while doing so.
There is just a hint of romance weaved in the story with it culminating with a
kiss. So if you’re looking for a romance heavy m/m read, this won’t satisfy
your craving. But if you’re looking for a quick action thriller read, then give
it a go. I for one hope that the author expands on this series as I would love
to read more of Abe and Michael’s story.
