Although some parts (not many) were a little slow and maybe just too much detail to matter after a certain point, the story was engaging and there were a lot of side stories going on and little glitches that I didn’t expect. You have to get the characters straight, right from the start, or you will be lost. One of the better, free espionage books that I have read.
Excellent book great ready action packed and unpredictable
Interesting story based on fact. Too many characters with relationships blurred, confusing, ever-changing. My feeling is the author made a complicated plot sound even more complicated because there is too much extraneous information. Also, way too much attention to hand-to-hand combat scenes. More time should have been spent on plot detail and delineating characters’ loyalties and goals.
Cool plot. Realistic characters. Great ending. The result was expected but the how it happened was original.
not much
Just couldn’t get in to it,.
How about adding the word “boring” to your list. Did not finish
You are transported back to the early 80’s in Rasputin’s Legacy when Ronald Reagan, and Mikhail Gorbachev where in power, now whilst these men are very real the story is very much not! Lee Jackson has created a spy thriller that reminded me of the early Bond movies, set in the Cold War era with Russia and America pitied against each other, though in this case they are both joining forces to help thwart a plot to overthrow the Soviet Government.
Atcho is our American Agent, and whilst reading I discovered that a lot has happened to him in a previous book which I didn’t realise when starting this one, it did not hinder this story though there were a few moments where reading the previous book would have been helpful to get a better picture of Atcho and his nemesis Yermolov.
What initially drew me to the book was the aspect of Rasputin – the Tsars and the mad monk have fascinated me along with Russian History for a long time, and throw into the mix a great spy novel interwoven around the idea of Rasputin’s bloodline and religious sect just made me want to read it even more.
If you love spy, action thrillers then this is for you.
B movie script. Macho to Macho, crazy vs. insanity
Surprise ending naming Vladamir Putin was a total surprize
Did not see the ending coming. Loved it.
A wonderful read with non-stop action and twists that will leave you guessing until the very end. Exciting and great entertainment!
Very good plot.
Great read
Edge of seat halfway through to exiting end
Good read, entertaining
Even the author impressed me [with an answer to a direct comment ] within a matter of hours. This is a book that you can’t put down. Will be reading the next installment of the intrigues of Atcho!
Excellent, action-packed, black-ops story!! It didn’t have extraneous minutia to skip over, like so many other thrillers. Every sentence contributed in an interesting way to the plot. Great writer! I definitely want to read more of his books
This was a thrill a minute story! Would be a very entertaining movie of intrigue and politics during the cold war. It is part of a series apparently but stands alone as well. (I read it before discovering it is part of a series.) It is a real page-turner, hard to put down. You won’t regret picking it up but you’ll want to settle in with a cup of tea/coffee and read it right through!
Terrific story and based on actual events.
