Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

CIA operative David "Mac" McAllister is kidnapped by the Soviets, tortured and sent home; back in the U.S., suspected of working for the U.S.S.R., he must find the real double agent. According to PW , this thriller "requires a leap of faith too large for even ardent devotees of spy fiction."

5.0 out of 5 stars A page-turner I never expected ..., May 31, 2009

This review is from: Zebra Network (Paperback)

This book was left in my building's laundry room (you know - share a book) and I took it with me on vacation as a backup in case I finished or got bored of my "main" book, as its description sounded only mildly interesting (but I was leaving the next day and had to take something with me). Out of curiosity I started reading it shortly after arrival, and I quickly got caught up in it, much to my surprise and delight. I finished the book 5 days later!

I have to admit I'm a neophyte when it comes to this genre of cold-war novels, but I really loved this book. It kept me surprised and wondering right up to the very last page (no kidding). As for a few details that might be a little unbelievable, I'm all for the suspension-of-disbelief thing, so long as I'm not having to do that a lot. This book was fine as far as that went.

This review is from: Zebra Network (Paperback)

I liked the story line, although I never believed the CIA would kill one of there own. The details of the time in the USSR are engrossing. Other then that the book turns out a bit above average.
