Deep Lie

Rating:
Summary: Great espionage thriller
Review: This book was my first exposure to Stuart Woods. I read it when it first came out in paperback in the late 80's. Since then I have read all of Woods' books and have without fail enjoyed all of them. In recent years his books seem more cranked out based on the quality of the writing, but I really can't complain since I still can't put 'em down once I start reading.

Summary: Woods actually is a versatile talented writer
Review: This early book was indeed a very good one. "Deep Lie" was an espioage story, but the title also implied that after a Soviet submarine wrecked at the fjords, and deep lied lie was then discovered. Woods almost turned a spy writer with this one, he also aped to become a horror writer with his UNDER THE LAKE, but he chose to write topics more secular and realistic. A most talented writer, readers should try his wonderful RUN BEFORE THE WIND and its sequel GRASS ROOT and so on until PALIMDROME.

Summary: Katherine Rule Rules!
Review: This is an excellent submarine thriller. It was quite refreshing having a female protaganist in an espionage book. This book is not as formula as Tom Clancy and that's a rather good thing. I love submarine thrillers, and this is certainly one of the better ones.

Summary: Early Lee/Rule Story
Review: This is one of, maybe the first of, Wood's books with Will Lee and Kate Rule as the main characters. This one leans more on Rule, her role in the CIA to uncover a Russian plot, and the attempts by Company agents to prevent her discovery from coming to light. I didn't know this one existed and was glad to add it to my Stuart shelf. A good read.

Summary: "Loved It!"
Review: This was just a damn good book. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Well written. I had to laugh when they were talking about the new computers with 20 Meg Hard drives. Makes me wonder what I'll be laughing about ten years from now (I just hope I have the opportunity). I highly recommend this book to anyone who just wants to have a fun read.
