This was a really fun book if you enjoy spy thrillers set
during the Cold War. This book was
written in the 80s, when the Russians were clearly the bad guys and the Americans
were clearly the good guys. Women served as bait and love interests, depending
on scene, the men were super macho, and the body count was high and gory. I’m a
big fan of the TV show The Americans
and this book is a great complement to that series. In fact, I’m pretty sure
this book was required reading for anyone working on that show. It was a solid
read. A CIA agent and an American diplomat get caught up in a plot that could
topple tentative peace talks between two governments. The tension practically
oozed off the page. If you are a big fan of Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, W.E.B.
Griffin, etc., then this is the book for you.
