Informatzia
How can any spy, even a retired one, ignore
a dead drop? Oboroten and ex-KGB
operative Yuri Gregorov takes the bait and
uncovers a flash drive filled with
incomprehensible numbers, diagrams, and
plans that someone might pay a lot for -
or kill for.
How much is information worth these days?
Is it worth jeopardizing Yuri’s tidy new life?
Is it worth a carved-up corpse, dark magic,
and running from the FBI, the SVR, and
his past?

I've been waiting for this book for so long. :) How hard is it to not bug the author when they're right there on your LJ friends list? It was really great to see all the characters again!
In a way, you could say this book series was Harry Potter fanfic with the serial numbers filed off, but that's not really the case. The Durmstrang Chronicles (written by this author and what the Informatzia trilogy was based on) was always pretty stand-alone. It had no canon Harry Potter characters (Lupin had a walk-in role in one of the stories, but that's it). The whole world was so wonderfully dark and mature. So it's more like Informatzia is two steps removed from Harry Potter.
The main character of Informatzia is an animagus werewolf, but neither that nor magic were the focus of this story. It was more a tale of spies and the Russian culture.
While I love the main character, I found myself wishing to be able to see so much more of this world. The few glimpses of the "magic cops" (special members of the FBI) made them seem so interesting! And the few mentions of Rose Jones (main character of Durmstrang Chronicles) made me itch to have her show up in the story.
I quite enjoyed the book! I can't wait until the third one. :)
