Summary: What a ride
Review: Harold Truman takes the reader on a fun ride. Truman already has established himself as a superb storyteller with his two travel journals, "Vietnam Impressions: A Country, Not a War" and "Sunday Islands," and now he moves out of nonfiction into fiction with another great story."Games" is an example of synchronicity. It was released just in time to take advantage of renewed interest in the murky world of intelligence. Just a few months ago, the U.S. and China were involved in a confrontation over a downed spy plane - and the Chinese are players in "Games." With the intelligence lapses cited in the Sept. 11, espionage again is something that intrigues readers and Truman's brand of storytelling is right on the mark. Truman is writing about things of which he knows. A member of an elite espionage unit during the Cold War, he has the background to write a book like "Games." And, he certainly has come up with a captivating story.

Summary: "Amazing Games"
Review: In Games, Mr Truman spins a fascinating tale full thrills and unforseen plot line twists. His character and scene development make you feel you actually know "that young bartender at the La Jolla bar with the slighly sticky feel in the atmosphere." 5STARS!!!GREAT READ!!!J. Pierpont DuPont
