"Win, Lose or Die" (John Gardner's Bond, #8)

Where is James Bond? What have you done with him? This character sounds like a rookie not a seasoned operative. In his first conversation with "M", he is wimpy, a pale version of the real James Bond. The author uses sex scenes to capture the real Bond but makes a poor job of it. It is ill thought out with ridiculous dialogue. The story is a "B" movie with a lot of high school drama.

"Last snow" by Eric Van Lustbader

Too many Russian names. I had a hard time finishing the book. It just seemed to go on and on. At least there was an explosive ending.

"Sleepers: by Mark Dawson

"Sleepers"is a story of remnants of the Cold War with a modern twist. It is an appropriate title for spies who seem to be semi-retired. They are supposed to fade away, except some times they don't. Old hatreds still linger and new ones are born. Murder is still avenged, whether it is at home or abroad. This book is a real page turner with unexpected twists and moments of high action. It is not 100% action oriented but leaves room for Milton's inner dilemma and his attempt to find a road to redemption.
