As exciting as it is Explosive...,
By
This review is from: Crossfire (Mass Market Paperback)
Our hero, Kirk McGarvey, makes an explosive comeback in this thrilling adventure which jumps from one place on the globe to another with the speed of a Tomahawk missile. I have long felt that McGarvey was a combination of James Bond, Jack Ryan, Dirk Pitt & Indiana Jones rolled into one...and he is in TOP form in 'Crossfire'.Arkady Kurshin, who Kirk thought he had 'taken care of' in his previous adventure comes back to serve up a heaping dose of revenge against the one man who has turned his life upsidedown and who very nearly killed him. Arkady is one of those villains you almost root for--ALMOST, because he is so much fun as the bad guy, and gives Kirk such a run for his money that you are left almost breathless as you read along. I also VERY much enjoyed the addition of the submarine in the plot. WELL done, Mr. Hagberg. I enjoyed virtually everything about this novel...in fact as I look back on it, I cannot think of ANYTHING which I did NOT enjoy. Kirk McGarvey is easily one of the most entertaining characters I know in print today, and as long as he keeps making comebacks in Hagberg's novels, I will be lining up to purchase his books. 'Crossfire' rivals almost anything written by Clancy, and for sheer adventure/action, Kirk can keep pace with Dirk Pitt any day. If I had to sum up this novel in one word, it'd be this: FUN.

Kirk McGarvey once again gets to do battle with his arch enemy Arkady Kurshin. McGarvey had thought that he had killed Arkady Kurshin on the cosst of Syria. Kurshin survived his battle with McGarvey by killing his rescuers,some Syrian troops. Kurshin makes his return by blowing up the American embassy in Paris and placing the blame on McGarvey. McGarvey rescues several people from the exploded embassy including a woman from Argentina who is searching for a sunken Nazi submarine. She hooks up with McGarvey and they find the submarine only to discover that it has fake gold. They obtain a list from the submarine telling the na,mes of Nazis who know where tje gold is. In the meantime the Americans have returned the Iranians their assets in the form of gold. Arkady Kurshin and some of his KGB gang are going to steal it. McGarvey stops them buts gets badly wounded. Kurshin is also wounded in the battle. McGarvey and the woman find the location of the gold. A tremendous battle takes place in a castle in Lisbon involving McGarvey,Kurshin,Israeli agents,and guards who work for the Nazis. Kurshin is finally killed. A very good read. This was a book that I could reccomend to anyone.

Hagberg In Usual Fine Form,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crossfire (Mass Market Paperback)
Hagberg aka Sean Flannery writes a compelling spy yarn, no matter what nome de plume he writes under. Ranks right up there with books like Flannery's Moving Targets and Counterstrike. This tale of the fight between McGarvey and Kurshin is one to read, even if you haven't read any of the others before this.
