review 1: I'm not much on spy novel of which this is one so take my comments with a grain of salt. The pace of this story is very slow, which makes reading it more painful, and it has the usual compliment of stock characters associated with such novels. There is the Russian mob presence, several characters for whom their success trumps anything, a beautiful girl who seems unattainable to the hero, himself a veteran army intelligence officer turned movie star. Well, you gert the picture.
review 2: Starting with Bill Clinton's introduction in the beginning of this book all the way to the last page, I was riveted to this story. Who wouldn't love a Hollywood type who is recruited by the government to track down missing nuclear warheads from a secret Russian site? The author ... morehad a unique way of letting the reader into the minds of his characters which was a special treat to me. Although this book took longer for me to read than most because of the long narrative passages, it was well worth it in the end. less
