This review is from: Snowball (Hardcover)

Ted Allbeury's second book "Snowball" tries to be a great spy novel, with a complex, intricate plot about a secret memo signed by the U.S and Canada's leaders in the darkest part of World War II(just before the Battle of Britain). Allbeury imagines the consequences of releasing such information, and he delves into the rivalries of the Soviet world as it existed back then. His characters, though are too one-dimensional. I felt I didn't know enough about Ted Anders as a person to cheer for him, or to feel for him. A lot of spies die in this story, which tells us that this is nothing like Ian Flemming.
