Something for everyone

When I read this book I had the feeling that I was watching a very well made movie. The pace was fast, the discriptions vivid, and the characters were belivable. Mr. Hogan is a very crisp writer and nothing is put into the book without a reason. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster towards the end of the book. Thanks for a good read!

Not completely outdated

On the surface, this book may appear outdated since it extrapolates the cold war US/Soviet standoff into the near future. However, at a deeper and more personal level, this book is fundamentally about the nature of truth. The surprise ending forced me to reread the book and look at it more from the angle of deception and truth. This theme is as relevant if not more relevant today than it was when the book was written. And, it is certainly an entertaining yarn.

OK, but dated.

This book is a bit dated. It deals with a communist Russia, not the Russia of today. It's still good reading. He brings up several points about how each side of the Cold War lied to its people. Good suspense
