Summary: Snow Wolf and Resurrection Day!
Review: I enjoyed reading Snow Wolf and found it to be an exciting book. The Glenn Meade book that I most recently read is titled "Resurrection Day". This book was banned in the United States because of it's subject matter. This book tells of an Al Queida attack on Washington D.C. It is absolutely frightening.
It is one of the best Glenn Meade books that I have read. I was
able to order this book through Amazon.com.uk. Add this to your Glenn Meade collection. It is an exciting book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Solid Historical Thriller
Review: Snow Wolf tells the story of 4 people who, in 1953, are part of a plan to assissinate Soviet Leader Joseph Stalin. The set up of the story is somewhat slow with Jake Massey's son investigating the truth of how his dad died in Moscow in 1953. He meets up with Anna Khorev who tells him the entire story in incredible detail.

The first half of Snow Wolf describes Alex Slanski and Anna Khorev's training in Massachusets while Massey and Henry Libel make plans once the spies are in Russia. A lot of scenes in the novel seem out of place, but eventually all of the characters have a place. Still, the novel doesn't pick up steam until the characters are in Russia. Once their, KGB officer Yuri Lukin is put in charge of a massive manhunt for the US Spies.

There are several twists and turns and several close calls, and Meade resolves everything a bit too neatly. This is still a great historical thriller and I recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books I've EVER read!!!
Review: "Snow Wolf" is a novel by Glenn Meade about the assassination of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. I picked up this book a number of years ago when it was first out in paperback, and immediately the book ranked among my favorites. I read it again and again, enjoying it every time! The depth of historical detail and graphic picture of life in Stalinist Russia is amazing and very, very interesting. As a Russophile and amateur Russian-language student for many years, I found this book absolutely amazing! It definitely is historically accurate and I have no doubt it will rank among the best books you have ever read. Please pick up this book TODAY!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great read
Review: If you're into spy literature and culture, (especially cold war-era Russia) then this is the book for you. Not only is it rich with clever and exciting clandestine plots and twists but Snow Wolf also gives great attention to character development and an intellectual use of real-life (formally) political figures. Meade writes a good one with this book by keeping you turning the page as well as instilling an array of emotion into the reader as he takes you from a murder scene to a love story and much more. Pick this book up for a solid read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: convinsing and compelling
Review: When I first saw the book, I thought it to be some silly James Bond-like novel, without any knowledge of history in general and Russian history in particular. But after reading the reviews I desided to give it a try.

Am I glad of that!

It recreates athmosphere of the era as good as Alan Furst, and the blend of fact and fiction is very intriguing. The characters are well-drawn and realistic (and believe me, very few American writers can write realistic Russian characters, and not Crazy Ivan stereotypes).

The characters are not in the way of the action, but the action also doesn't get in the way of characters. These people have reasons for the things they say and do, and these are personal reasons, and not just moving the plot.

I'm not sure in some of the geography of the novel (I think that distances between Moscow, Novgorod and Leningrad wouldn't allow the characters to cover them in the time it took them in the novel)- but that's the only point against the novel I can think of.

This is one of those novels that prove, that a great thriller, doesn't have to be "as current as the headlines" - great story and great characters matter far more!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of his best novels.
Review: Could'nt put it down, a good thriller without complication. Wo'nt reread it but can recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I strongly recommend this six star book
Review: THIS BOOK DESERVES SIX STARS.

Excellent reading, this is because you will never know what part fo the story is true or false, is a completely different books of KGB and CIA spies, if this book is true I can understand why there are no secrets in the world including the "secrets" of the former USSR.
This book is amazing in the story, the secret dead of Stalin, but is not an easy book to read and maybe is a little bit long in some descriptions, I strongly recommend this book if you really want to know how think the spies in both ways, personally and professionally.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant! Read Meade's 'Resurrection Day', banned in USA
Review: Snow Wolf is absolutely terrific, one of the best books I've ever read. However, I recently finished his latest, Resurrection Day, published only in Europe, and not in the USA (banned, I hear, because of the controversial and sensitive subject matter!) Resurrection Day is an incredible book, prescient and right up to the minute, about an Al-Qaeda terrorist attack on Washington DC--and one of the best books I've ever read, a must for Meade fans, up there with Snow Wolf, and maybe even better. You have to read Resurrection Day--it's scary, fast paced, and stunning. US readers can order it through Amazon.co.uk. Don't miss it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best thriller by a relatively unknown author
Review: I would rate this book up there with the best of Robert Ludlum and Frederick Forsyth! It was gripping from the beginning and extremely hard to put down. I enjoyed the spy thrills with a touch of romance without all the graphic sex.
