For the first 1/3 of the book, I thought it was going to be a great read. Around the time the protagonist travels to Moscow it starts to unravel: inconsistencies, unreasonable scenarios/decisions that don’t fit with the character’s personality, huge plot holes in “tradecraft” that are unexplained, characters that are so poorly cobbled together that their pedigree is just comical. By chapter 101 the book had reached a tin foil hat crescendo of implausibility, and I couldn’t continue. This is only the second book ever that I haven’t finished. Would not recommend.

Totally unbelievable, absurd in every sense of the word.

Not a fan of books which jump back and forth over years as this one does, but the story still makes it worth reading.

Fun…well written…very good!

I loved the pacing of this story.

This book was typical Joseph Finder, a great mystery with a wonderful ending

This is the first book by Joseph Finder that I read. I truly enjoyed it!!!

I greatly enjoyed reading this thriller full of suspense and drama.

Touted as a modern mix of Clancy and TV show The Americans…not even in the same universe. The plot and the dual storyline was decent but the end was abrupt and corny. If you like Clancy, this won’t do it for you. Wouldn’t recommend.
