A very overlooked book. The only thing I can tell you is that what happened in this book is closer to the truth than you know.

This review is from: State Scarlet (Hardcover)

I followed this book immediately after reading Agent of Influence, and found my sentiments from that one bleeding over to this one as well. Again, I appreciated that it moved quickly and I could finish it in a long afternoon on the beach, but the story was SO cliche. I didn't mind that it was terribly dated, but again...it's all been done. So...3 stars.

This review is from: State Scarlet (Hardcover)

State Scarlet is a very dated book about a rogue U.S solider getting his hands on a portable nuke. Both the U.S.S.R and U.S wish to stop him, for their own purposes. The chase is cliche, but the book's strength is in how it portrays how American politicans use circumstances to further their own agenda. The Soviets here are more than just one-dimensional heavys, but they are still not interesting. It must have been scary for its day though.
