The Reign of the Stavka

Rating:
Summary: Intrigue and suspense with every page.
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely! With every page I was brought to places that were familiar to me. Tim Anderson eloquently writes about a time in history that many people in the world never expected to see in their lifetime. If you enjoy a book that contains a breathtaking thrill ride filled with honor, deceit, romance, and suspense, this book will keep you captivated. Intriguing!!! I could not put it down until I finished every page.

Summary: I could not put it down.
Review: I found that it held my attention. It painted a word picture that was very suspenseful. Not only did I enjoy this novel, but my 16 year old son who is an avid Tom Clancey reader said, " It was more Tom Clancey than Tom Clancy."

Summary: Hard to put down! Have the Russians been using us?
Review: My wife gave me this book as a gift. It did not have the Clancy or Ludlow author on the cover, so I was a bit slow to start on it. I was sure wrong with my prejudgement!

I took it on a business trip and could not put it down. I was familiar with many of the places mentioned, I love geo-political suspence books, and it was clean.

Around 1988, I was going out to Southern Utah quite often for work to test a new ejection seat for aircraft. We spent quite a bit of time at an old World War II era secret test facility called Hurricane Mesa, now privately owned. During many hours of "dead time" I enjoyed walking around the plateau looking at various relics, both the successes and failures of yesterdays high technology. This place would have been very impressive back then and still is today. The road leading to the mesa is not marked and there is no reason to think anything would even exist up there. As the author did, I too can easily visualize a secret Soviet military group utilizing this mesa and one of the surrounding canyons.

With the newly elected majority of communists in Russia now, you have to wonder if many the authors fictional events have some truth to them.

I'm anxious for the next title by Tim Andersen!
