Typical of its Time,

This review is from: Cold Sea Rising (Paperback)
Cold Sea Rising is a typical Espionage/Adventure book of the mid 80's. The Soviets are out to conquer the world but first they must take out the United States. The United States of course does everything in its power to make itself the perfect unaware and vulnerable target. The only hope is a couple of heroes behind the scenes in both the US and Russia who are trying to stop the plot.The backdrop to the story is an environmental catastrophe that heats up the Antarctic shelf allowing an absolutely enormous sheet of ice to float into the open seas. The Russians want to use the ice sheet as a device to conquer the US. I can't tell you more with out giving away the plot completely. A pretty decent yarn. I found myself not liking the characters much but enjoying the story over all. I am not a scientist so I do not know what the plausibility of the environmental catastrophe is but it didn't sound all that believable. I was able to suspend my disbelief and enjoy the novel for what it was. A good, once read book for a lazy summer afternoon. Borrow it from a friend or library and enjoy. |
