There are signs of a thaw in the Cold War, and not all are happy with it. On both sides of the Iron Curtain, shadowy groups and factions of the KGB lurk and bide their time. Beneath the swamp of deceit, the East and West have joined forces. But nuclear war looms.

Slightly hard to imagine in a few passages, but I do like the nature, wildlife aspect of the snow owl, wolves and bears. Too often our human nature does not allow for the understanding on the species that were here on earth long before us. a lot of action in different places but held my interest on both land and under the sea.

Great story with a great deal of adventure and action.
The action and suspense is sure to keep you entertained and guessing where the story will take you next. The author has written a very intriguing story about how the super powers deal with the threat of Armageddon.

Thought this was about submarines but turned out quite differently. Strange read in some places.

Definitely not my cup of tea.
I found it both confusing and boring when it wasn't. Sort of disconcerted. I loved the first so I will try number 3.

Too good to be true
Unbelievable twaddle, you cannot believe some of the things which happened - fantasy writing of the worst sort - spoils ir
