3.0 out of 5 stars Not a Bad Story, April 7, 2002

This review is from: Comrade Charlie (Hardcover)

A good one from the old cold war days of spy thrillers. The author does a solid job with his writing and does keep the story moving. I have noticed that the more books he puts out the less is getting edited away, and my opinion is that is close to including too much that will slow the stories down. I would suggest The Blind Run from this author as one of his better works. There are the prerequisites multiple plots and trouble main character you find in most books of this type. All in all not a bad effort.
