review 1: What a finale! Must say, it was difficult to read. It took a long time til 75% but then I read the whole finale in 1.5 hours. You never know how his books will end (although all spy novels have something in common...). There's something like a small cliffhanger at the end of the book, so right now I'm downloading the next one. The torture scenes are pretty hard stuff and maybe Scorpion is a little too much of a hero (although he's the first spy that really breaks). The Ukrainian names were tough and I sometimes wondered who was who. I'd give 3 stars for the first 75% of the book but 6 stars for the last 25% so all in all it's worth reading it!
review 2: Yet another entry in the crowded espionage/thriller genre. I am a big fan of Barry Eisler's John Rain seri... morees, which does a great job of "humanizing" a cold-blooded assassin for hire. To me, Scorpion is less well developed as a character, although this may change with subsequent entries in the series. At some point I will read the 1st book in the series, Scorpion Betrayal, but I am in no hurry. There was not enough to set this story apart from all the others for me to give it more than 3 stars - an OK read, but not great. less
