No 2 in a new series of spy novels that is second to none. though it starts a bit slow, it quickly picks up to an incredible pace. The plotline is complex, involving a possible war between the U.S., Russia, and China, as the Chinese try to take over Siberia, and blackmail the American President to go along with their plan. Brigs Tanner, the hero must rescue a Chinese General, author of this plan, and the only one who can thwart the plan, from a Chinese internment camp, or risk starting World War Three, if he fails. A great plot, and enough action to keep any reader more than satisfied! Mr. Clancy should spend less time researching technical info. and more time reader other authors books like this to remind him how to write a thriller novel.

Another winner!
29 July 2002
Format:Paperback
I found Blackwood's second Tanner novel even better than the first, and I can only see Blackwood's books getting better and better in the future!
Tanner is a man with a past, and in The Wall of Night he's given an opportunity to make right something in his past that went terribly wrong. Briggs Tanner is a refreshing everyday hero who isn't "super human" or "all action". He's an average man with a very above average job. He's humble. And I find that very appealing in a character.
I can only hope that we see more novels from Grant Blackwood featuring Briggs Tanner. I want to learn more about him and his life while watching him as he continues to do jobs that others aren't willing, or have the training, to do.
Espionage/Thrillers usually aren't the kinds of books I read, but for Blackwood I will continue to make the exception. Highly entertaining reads!!

Great thriller from a new author
3 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
This is the second book I have read by Mr. Blackwood and it was as thrilling as the first. This is pure escapism action with a fairly plausible plot line. Briggs Tanner is a great protaginist although he seems almost super human sometimes and is able to escape from impossible situations. This story is similar to those of Clancy and others, but with less technical detail and more focus on plot and characters. The only fault I can find is with the editing. There were quite a few typographical errors that should have been caught. I have seen similar errors in other books from this publisher.
I hope Mr. Blackwood brings back this cast of characters in future novels.

the west.The escape was broken up by the secret Chinese police
the Guoanbu.Tanner barely escaped with his life. Now Soong wants to defect again.It is up to Tanner to go back in after him.During
his rescue journey the world is perched on the brink of a major war.Tanner is forced to pull off a daring rescue under trying conditions.The ending of the book is also very good. Read this new book and discover an outstanding author. You will be pleased.
