A surprisingly entertaining read about political intrigue. It takes a page from House of Cards and does an excellent job reflecting the failures at the heart of our own government. It has all the classic cloak and dagger aspects, if somewhat predictable. It is especially poignant with the stuff going on in Ukraine.

WOW, didn't want to put it down. Fast moving twists and turns, Looking forward to reading last one in the mini-series.

A five book story arc to tell a story that might have been better in 3. We'll see.

Good enough for light reading but not an awesome book or story
