Tsar (Hawke) by Ted Bell
An Enjoyable Read
There dwells, somewhere in Russia, a man so powerful that no one even
knows his name. His existence is only speculated upon, only whispered
about, in American corridors of power and CIA strategy meetings. Though
he is all but invisible, he is pulling strings – and pulling them hard. For
suddenly, Russia is a far, far more ominous threat than even the most
hardened cold warriors ever thought possible.
The Russians have their finger on the fuel switch to the European
economy and an eye on the American jugular. And, most important, they
want to be made whole again. Should America interfere with Russia’s
plans to “reintegrate” her rogue states, well then, America will pay in blood.
In Ted Bell’s latest pulse-pounding and action-packed tour de force, Alex
Hawke must face an insidious global nightmare of epic proportions. As this
political crisis plays out, Russia gains a new leader. Not just a president,
but a new Tsar, a signal to the world that the old, imperial Russia is back
and is hellbent on global dominance. And in America, a mysterious killer,
known only as Happy the Baker, brutally murders Americans on
instructions from the Kremlin. Just a taste, according to the new Tsar, of
what will happen if America does not back down. Onto this treacherous
stage must step Alex Hawke, the only counter-terror agent, both the
Americans and the Brits agree, who can stop the absolute madness born
and bred inside the modern police state of Vladimir Putin’s New Russia.
Listeners will race through the action at breakneck speed as Ted Bell’s
“larger-than-life hero” (Publishers Weekly) crosses international borders to
stop the Russians from executing the most devastating attack our world
has ever seen. Gripping, thrilling, and impossible to put down, Tsar is the
ultimate adventure ride from an author in a class of his own.
Putin is in prison, and Count Korsakov is the power behind the figure head
president of Russia. Korsakov, a renaissance man, has a plan to bring
Russia back to the glory of the former Soviet Union.
Alex Hawke meets Korsakov's daughter while sunbathing in the nude on a
secluded beach.
Thus starts Hawke's dilemma of love and trying to figure out Korsakov's
plan that could eventually lead to mass destruction of major cities without
nuclear weapons.
This is the first Hawke book that I have read and enjoyed it immensely.
The story had plenty of action, suspense, twists and turns with a little sex
mixed in.
I highly recommend this book and I will go back and read the other books
in the series.
