The Russian Trilogy

review 1: The end of the trilogy brought some expected happenings in completely unexpected ways along the journey of an excellent story. Alex LaDuca's character is real and believable, and, if I'm honest, is who I would like to be in my dreams. From Rizzo to Federov and everyone in between the culmination is wrapped up quite nicely...with just enough ribbon left to (hopefully) untie the bow and go back into action again. I am very glad I stumbled onto this series. It fed my appetite for action, adventure and intrigue while digging into my own questions about faith, too. Highly recommend!
review 2: This is the last book in Hynd's Russian Trilogy, and it mostly serves as a way to tie up all the loose ends and remaining questions from previous books. There really isn't that... more much of a new mystery to be solved. Just the reappearance of someone from the previous books that is supposed to be dead, tracking him down in Cairo, and figuring out how he fits into other things...leading to the unraveling of most of the quandaries. Unlike the two previous books, this book mostly follows the story from Alex's point of view so the reader doesn't know what is going on until she does.Once again, Alex is said to be a Christian, but seems to struggle with how that applies to her everyday life. In this book she continues to swear in tough situations (though there are no swear words in the book, it is just mentioned that people swear), drink a little more than she should, smoke for the job and dress in ways to lure men for the job too. It would be pretty clean for a secular spy novel, but may be a little rougher than those going by the Christian publisher might expect. The writing is fairly solid and Hynd again provides an entertaining jaunt through spy land. less
