Sangria anyone?
I picked this one up after reading Hot Springs, and just let me say that probably one of the big reasons I bought it was because it is set during the Spansih Civil War, which is one of my favorite conflicts in History, as well as I just love Spanish history and culture, having traveled there once. Anyway I liked the conflict the two main characters, with Soviets and Nazis...

Original Title for Tapestry of Spies
If you've already read Tapestry of Spies, then you've already read this book. I will start by saying that this book is not a typical Stephen Hunter book.

Original Title for Tapestry of Spies,
By eldavojohn (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spanish Gambit (Hardcover)
If you've already read Tapestry of Spies, then you've already read this book. I will start by saying that this book is not a typical Stephen Hunter book. It is nothing like the fast paced Point of Impact or The Day Before Midnight. It is in fact a great mystery story with little action. The plot is amazing, but requires some knowledge of WWII politics in order for it to gell in ones mind. If you don't know anything about WWII, this book may appear to have a paper thin plot. The ending is indeed a surprise greater than any other endings of his books, even more so than Time To Hunt. If you are a Stephen Hunter zealot or love mysteries, then by all means, read this book. If, however, you do not love Stephen Hunter and think that Point of Impact was ok, then perhaps this book is not for you.

where's the research?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Spanish Gambit (Paperback)
Hunter usually does impressive research, but here he shows a total lack of familiarity with chess. Bad job by Hunter and his editors.
