review 1: Discovered Khoury during my Templar phase...and now, here's Rasputin, the man who had to be poisoned, shot, beaten, and then drowned to actually die.But he's just the set-up, the hook. That's ok, because I have always liked Sean Reilly, but it's apparent I've missed a couple of his books...I don't remember reading about his son. In a way, that's ok with me. Children in danger make me queasy.Russian technology, cold war that morphed into our present troubles, a conspiracy and rogue agents...all while Sean is pursuing his own personal need for revenge. Makes for a fast pace.Lots of shifts of POV, with Sean's first person holding it all together.The best fiction makes you shiver and worry that it could be real...I shivered.
review 2: A Russian embassy employee fal
... morels to his death from the window of a Russian high school teacher's apartment. The teacher and his wife are missing. FBI agent Sean Reilly is on the case which has links back to a comrade of Rasputin. An. Okay thriller with some interesting science,but not enough Rasputin. I listened to this and the reader did not distinguish between the characters enough. For top notch audio with Russian accents list to Sam Eastland's Inspector Pekkala books. less
