Red Tide

Summary: Red Tide is dead tiring!
Review: I found the plot very good, but he just didn't do enough with it. The book was slow, and plodding, and I had to struggle to get through it. Thank God, it wasn't bogged down with detail and was relatively easy to get through. He used other author's names, such as Clancy, as characters in his book, hopefully to strike the readers' interest. It didn't work, at least, not on this reader. The story was about the old hardliners in Russia, trying to take back their country from the weak, liberals that sold it down the drain. The arch villain was a supposed descendant of Tzar Nicholas, who attempted to take back what he thought was his rightful place as the new Tzar of Russia, and unite all the former replubics behind him. As I said earlier; Good plot, could have been better done.

Summary: Really picks up around page 300
Review: I mean no sarcasm - around page 300 (of 440 or so), this book really picks up and gets fun. Until then, it's slow and only sporadically eventful.

By the time you're done, you'll be glad you read it, but until you get through the first 295 pages or so, you'll wonder why you're reading it at all.
