Now EU Director of Counter-Terrorism, the former intelligence operative is called once again to thwart a criminal master-plan that could tragically overturn the political and military balance of our planet. Now and then, the action reaches its peak at a highly engaging pace - no wonder the author has been compared to masters such as Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy. But while I believe readers of hardboiled espionage stories will enjoy the fascinating premises and the tight plot of The Russian Endgame, I found Topol's writing to be wanting on a few counts.

In Allan Topol's The Russian Endgame , the quest for power leads to an unholy alliance between China and Russia and once again, Craig Page is locked in a fierce battle with his longtime nemesis, General Zhou.

The Russian Endgame begins just days after Craig successfully foils In Allan Topol's The Russian Endgame , the quest for power leads to an unholy alliance between China and Russia and once again, Craig Page is locked in a fierce battle with his longtime nemesis, General Zhou.

The Russian Endgame begins just days after Craig successfully foils an attack on the Pope and the Vatican-a plot that Page remains convinced General Zhou masterminded. Determined to bring him to justice and exact revenge for his daughter's death, Page spearheads a campaign to capture Zhou but, once again, Zhou slips through Craig's fingers. When Zhou finally achieves his long coveted position of power, he joins forces with ex-KGB agent, Dimitri Orlov, and together they set in motion a diabolical plan to catapult both China and Russia to super power status.

Shocking events leave them scrambling to uncover not only the perpetrators but the reasons behind the devastating acts of aggression against the United States. Unintentional revelations to a former foe of Craig's also hamper their efforts and in fact, put the entire operation in jeopardy. Not as action oriented as the previous novels in the series, The Russian Endgame is nonetheless a fast paced and compelling read. Allan Topol once again engages his readers with a thought-provoking and realistic storyline that is full of surprising twists and turns.

The novel's conclusion is unexpected, but upon reflection, it is an appropriate ending to Craig Page's adversarial relationship with Zhou. Sep 28, Kathy Martin rated it it was ok. This is the conclusion of the Craig Page trilogy and brings all the hanging plot threads to a satisfying conclusion.

He is being used by both the Russian President and General Zhou to fur This is the conclusion of the Craig Page trilogy and brings all the hanging plot threads to a satisfying conclusion. He is being used by both the Russian President and General Zhou to further their plots. Craig Page is still focused - maybe even obsessed - with bring General Zhou to justice because he had Craig's daughter killed.

This one had all the elements to make a heart-pounding thriller but, somehow, it missed for me. I don't know if it was the viewpoint switches or the fact that enough plot for pages was condensed into pages that did it. It felt, to me, that the story needed a lot more detail to build the suspense. I was also not a big fan of the main character - Craig Page. Others in the intelligence community describe him as a "cowboy" and a "loose cannon" which aren't characteristics that endeared him to me.

His obsession with revenge on General Zhou caused him to run roughshod over fellow intelligence people and to make decisions without consulting anyone. It seemed that he was apologizing to the President every couple of pages for his activities. Readers who started the series will want to read this one to find out how the story finishes. Fans looking for a thriller might want to look elsewhere.
