Summary: well written but slow paced "thriller"
Comment: This extremely slow and tedious "thriller" concerns a high ranking Russian
Naval officer, Viktor Archenko, who has passed information to the British Secret Service for years. His cover has been blown and he is in mortal danger. He wants to be removed and it is the job of a group of MI6 agents to get him out of the country and safely back to Britain.
Gerald Seymour uses quick sections with alternating point of views to tell the story in this overblown and introspective espionage novel. This technique should serve to accelerate the pacing, keep the pages flying and readers at the edge of their seats. Actually the author spends a great deal of time covering every possible bit of minutia on all the major characters. The reader really never has the opportunity to feel any sympathy toward any of the relatively large cast. Like John LeCarre, Gerald Seymour writes a very literate spy novel but it isn't an exciting or enjoyable read.
