Original Title for Tapestry of Spies
30 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
If you've already read Tapestry of Spies, then you've already read this book. I will start by saying that this book is not a typical Stephen Hunter book. It is nothing like the fast paced Point of Impact or The Day Before Midnight. It is in fact a great mystery story with little action. The plot is amazing, but requires some knowledge of WWII politics in order for it to gell in ones mind. If you don't know anything about WWII, this book may appear to have a paper thin plot. The ending is indeed a surprise greater than any other endings of his books, even more so than Time To Hunt. If you are a Stephen Hunter zealot or love mysteries, then by all means, read this book. If, however, you do not love Stephen Hunter and think that Point of Impact was ok, then perhaps this book is not for you.

Sangria anyone?
14 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I picked this one up after reading Hot Springs, and just let me say that probably one of the big reasons I bought it was because it is set during the Spansih Civil War, which is one of my favorite conflicts in History, as well as I just love Spanish history and culture, having traveled there once. Anyway I liked the conflict the two main characters, with Soviets and Nazis thrown for good measure.

where's the research?
13 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
Hunter usually does impressive research, but here he shows a total lack of familiarity with chess. Bad job by Hunter and his editors.
