If you want a peek into the world of espionage, agents, counter-agents and the pursuit of power, than this is the book for you. Fast paced, twists and turns, but with the thread of reality that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Hopefully this is just the first in a series by this author who was an insider and former Mossad agent. A great read that keeps you thinking long after the book is finished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Black Ghosts, May 15, 2001

This review is from: Black Ghosts (Paperback)

This is the fourth literary effort from the New York Times #1 Bestselling Author Victor Ostrovsky. "Black Ghosts" is an exiting forray into the "wilderness of mirrors" called espionage. This talented author and artist leads the reader through an exciting story which is filled with technical terms to prove Ostrovsky's "insider" status, but also reads easily for us simple civilians. This is a must read for any fan of thrilling spy novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fresh entry for the genre..., May 21, 2011

This review is from: Black Ghosts (Mass Market Paperback)

Ostrovsky blends strong, but fallible characters in a fast-paced story that runs along the edge of plausibility. Unlike the many serial heroes in the action/thriller/spy categories, you never really feel like any one of the characters is a sure thing to make it to the end.
