review 1: Any thriller involving the KGB, the CIA and various other criminal organisations will usually be a good read. Throw in Ridley Fox, a CIA agent whose fiancé has recently been murdered, and we have a far-fetched plot involving life-threatening microbes. The plot reminded me of a James Bond movie. The author has obviously put a lot of hard work into creating all the characters, and coming up with such a complicated plot, but unless the reader can manage to take in large chunks of the story in one go, it is sometimes difficult to remember who is who and who is on whose side. I found myself having to go back a couple of pages sometimes to refresh my memory. It was a long novel, but I did manage to read it all. I was given a free copy of this book.
review 2: I recei... moreved this book from the author and have in no way been reimbursed for this review. Now with that said, this book had so many twists and turns that I think I came out of it with whiplash! Just when I thought I had the ending figured out, something would happen to totally change how I thought it would end! Ridley Fox makes another appearance in this novel. His undercover CIA job leads him into another race towards finding his fiance's killers, The Arms of Ares. After being beaten and left for dead, he tracks his attackers and ends up in Tokyo chasing a highly coveted microbe called Pandora. Little known to him, he isn't the only one tracking Pandora. The CDC and Japanese Intelligence are also on the trail and in several instances prevent him from capturing and keeping Pandora in his possession. And that's only PART of the twists and turns in this novel! You will NEVER guess how it turns out! I could definitely see this book being turned into a movie, although I'm hoping that if it does, the producer doesn't "murder" the whole idea of the book. I'm not saying that I want it to be a movie, but if it happens I would definitely watch it! This book is definitely a must read! less
