review 1: This review is for the Zero Sum Trilogy. I read book one of the Trilogy without realizing there were more books in the series. I was unhappy that book one ended without a resolution - only directions to the next book. Out of disgust, I wrote off the book until I found the entire series available for free for Amazon Prime members. Hooray for Amazon. Since book one was so good, I re-evaluated and got the series.I have now read the last 2 books of the trilogy and have reassessed the trilogy. My initial 4 star review has been lowered to 3 stars. The book devolved into a shallow romance story with repetitive bits happening as Stephen (whatever his last name at the time) and Antonia flitting from country to country. I lost my interest in the story which is unfortunate. ... moreI have read Russell Blake books before and have thought much better of his writing. Personally, I would not recommend this overly long shallow plot book set.
review 2: This review is for the entire Trilogy - Zero Sum Books 1 - 3 Kotov SyndromeRussell Blake's Zero Sum - Kotov Syndrome Trilogy is truly amazing. I initially downloaded Book 1 because it was free and before I was done I had purchased the Book 2 & 3 bundle. This is my first time reading a book from Russell Blake and I felt privileged to have found a book written so intelligently with such a powerful impact.Nicolas Griffen is a character that you will grow to despise. A Wall Street financier associated with organized crime and government agencies using the stock market to make huge amounts of money to the detriment of others. Dr. Steven Archer is determined to stop this activity by publishing a website to expose Griffen and his associates for what they really are. When he is discovered to be the owner of the website life is forever changed as he is now the target to be destroyed. This trilogy will take you on a extremely fast paced and unexpected roller coaster ride of the fight between good and evil. Zero Sum is an addicting complex thriller that you will not be able to put down. I highly recommend this book, it is writing at it's best. I look forward to reading more from Russell Blake.Marilou George less
