John Baran's best friend dies from a bizarre, massive stroke he suffered in Moscow under mysterious conditions. John suspects foul play and goes to Moscow to get answers. Russian interests, determined to guard their secrets, engage the KGB and a GRU seductress to make sure he doesn't pick up where his friend left off--by any means necessary.The Moscow-based CIA discovers a KGB plot to overthrow President Gorbachev and stop his democratic reforms. As a treacherous diversion, the conspirators plan a devastating bioweapon attack on U.S. soil. The political upheaval hurls John into espionage, a bio-terror plot, and the middle of hard-line communists' attempt to reverse history. His quest to avenge one death makes him the only man who can save countless American lives and help derail a second Bolshevik revolution--if he can stay alive. No library descriptions found. |

This isn't a book about action and adventure, but can be better categorized as a thriller or suspense. It didn't have enough to keep me completely hooked, but enough for me to want to finish the book and see how the book came to an end. There is lots of information on Russian Politics, which must be comprehended to fully grasp what is happening in the rest of the story. Of course with fraud and murder, you're bound to be intrigued as to what happens next, and it was this aspect that helped the story to go by much easier.
There are a lot of plots and different settings that occur during this read, and details are spread evenly throughout the whole book, giving you a little piece of the picture, chapter by chapter. The characters are described well enough to predict their next move based on personality type.
Overall considering the amount of information thrown at you, the main plot, and the writing style this is definitely a book worthy of 4/5. (
