Customer Reviews

Great spy book with a nice sci-fi twist

I picked this book up in a used bookstore as I am a fan of Haldeman's Forever books and enjoyed it immensley. The premise is a basic spy story, a KGB spy placed in America and awaiting activation who happens to end up being a sort of double agent with the CIA. Basic spy stuff and while interesting, it is nothing spectacular. Oh, I forgot to mention this spy in question has invented a device (a watch) that can control people's minds, hypnotize them in a sense. Which mixed in with a spy book makes a great read. If you see this book in a used store or if hopefully it gets reprinted, grab it!

A favorite fantasy - done in a reasonably moral way

Ever daydream you can control other peoples minds?Well, this isn't a porn story! (grin)It's a fast paced delightful action thriller. Would make a very entertaining movie.... oh well, sad that it's out of print.

How to save the world with a trick watch

The KGB has planted Nick in the in deep cover as a professor who makes a powerful discovery. The CIA/KGB/FBI and the cast of Friends (OK, not them as well), are after the secret, but he has his own plans to sort out the mess that the world is in. A satisfying book, that works on more than one level.
