Tsar

Tsar by Ted Bell
This book had been in my "Wish List" for quite a while. I went to the local library and put it on their list of things to get, and they got it in. I had it for two weeks, and finally had time to finish it. There was a lot of interesting things in this book. One drawback that it had for me is that it had fairly graphic depictions of things that didn't need to be treated in such detail. That for me was a big detraction. It could've moved the story along with no need for it. It didn't seem to pick up for me until towards the end. For me, reading about the recent leadership of Russia was very interesting, as I'm fairly uninformed about that subject. The descriptions of places were quite fantastic, and the ending puts the hero in quite a moral dilemma. I didn't particularly like how the ending was written, as it seemed to gloss over some major details, but all in all it was a fairly enjoyable read.
