How do you bring down a President who will stop at nothing to stay in power? Olympic hero turned peace campaigner Ruslan Shanidza sets out on his most ambitious undertaking, leading a campaign to unseat the brutal strongman who rules his post-communist homeland. He assembles a fractious coalition of rivals and former enemies. But they must confront some very dangerous people: men who can never allow their grip on power to slip because they have blood on their hands. The conflict quickly escalates as the President and his henchmen plot a murderous crackdown. Ruslan soon learns that he has placed himself and his family right in the firing line in an increasingly desperate fight to the finish. This third Ruslan Shanidza novel can be enjoyed without reading the other two. It is a political thriller rooted in time and place that draws upon real historical events as it races to its denouement. ...the quality of the characters depicted in this book was superb. The author did an amazing job at comprehensively developing the characters by giving them really strong personalities that will stick with the reader till the end of the story.
...gripped my interest throughout the entire book due to its powerful message of freedom from tyranny. The political and military aspects of the book were very intriguing...
I recommend this book to lovers of historical fiction and thrillers...a great read...
OnlineBookClub.Org Official Review ...this one captivated me since I have a history with Russia particular during some of the transition from the USSR. While this is fictional, much of what he writes smacks of a true-life adventure...The characters come alive and are well developed as he weaves into their personal lives a most credible backstory...will keep you engaged and attentive to discover the next twist in the script.
BM Goodreads Reviewer A perfect finish to the engrossing Ruslan and Tamara Shanidza trilogy. Highly recommended. The books can be read in isolation but each builds strongly upon the depth and quality of the characters as Ruslan makes a hazardous and turbulent journey from an idealistic Olympic athlete to seasoned politician.
