1-10-09 Pirate by Ted Bell - Fiction

4 - As my dad has said, there haven't been any really good espionage thrillers since the Cold War ended. Ted Bell, however, may be breaking that trend. Pirate is not another book about terrorists, it is a thriller that pulls in the current geopolitical climate and the potential for another period of cold war. Lord Alexander Hawke is a fun character, a little over the top, who's adventures and toys are reminiscent of Bond with a little bit of Rambo thrown in. A very good thriller. Dad, you should really try this one.
