I found the characters solid and believable and I thought the discussions in White House situation room about possible US response not only believable but with the emotions felt by the participants made it feel like the reader was in the room an unseen witness the soul searching discussions. The action scenes are tense, well written (up there with the best of Clancy and Bond). Add into this naval and air battles and it all makes up a really exciting read.

A deep cover agent in the Kremlin has news of the plot, and there is a plan in place to return him to the US with the news, but he and his CIA handler are discovered and what should have been a simple extraction turns into a fight for live across the frozen wastes of Russia.

It is a somewhat strange plan as it begins by antagonising the US almost to the brink of war, then pulling back and planning on striking when the US relaxed it's defensive posture. We might have the game available for more than one platform. This is a fast paced cold war geo-political thriller that has the 2 superpowers USA and USSR standing off against each other as belligerent and hard line new Soviet General Secretary sets out plans to launch a pre-emptive strike against the US. I had always thought I could happily read some pretty trashy ridiculous light books, it seems I have limits. If you do find yourself part way through the book and are hoping it gets better, um, it doesn't. This narrator may work for some pretty specific books but here, he was as bad as the book and at least in this case, two negatives most definitely didn't make a positive. Sometimes a gifted narrator can rescue some pretty average story telling, this is not one of those times. The characters, well character is probably too strong a word, the dialog, best not mentioned, even the plot execution was pretty disjointed. This is really not good writing, actually the more you think about it, the worse you have to admit the writing is. The basic premise, that the Soviet Union elected to embark on a nuclear strike rather than concede the cold war I thought had some potential. Crammed with high-tech action and nail-biting suspense.I wanted to enjoy this book, I even finished it though I couldn't explain why.
