STATE SCARLET CST

Rating:
Summary: one of the best books ever
Review: I have just recently finished reading state scarlet and i must say it is great. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I didn't want to put it down. This book realy puts you in the heads of each character and shows a great example of what could have happened during the cold war

Rating:
Summary: Average thriller about mad Nuclear gamesmanship
Review: State Scarlet is a very dated book about a rogue U.S solider getting his hands on a portable nuke. Both the U.S.S.R and U.S wish to stop him, for their own purposes. The chase is cliche, but the book's strength is in how it portrays how American politicans use circumstances to further their own agenda. The Soviets here are more than just one-dimensional heavys, but they are still not interesting. It must have been scary for its day though.
