With an American president distracted by growing tensions in North Korea and Iran, an ominous new threat is emerging in Moscow. A czar is rising in the Kremlin, a Russian president feverishly consolidating power, silencing his opposition, and plotting a brazen and lightning-fast military strike that could rupture the NATO alliance and bring Washington and Moscow to the brink of nuclear war. But in his blind spot is the former U.S. Secret Service agent, Marcus Ryker, trained to protect but ready to kill to save his country.
The Kremlin Conspiracy is a well researched, well written novel that dives into some of the concerns and threats that exist in the modern world today and creates a plausible picture of the potential future. I love how the author takes actual recent past actions (invasions in Georgia, Ukraine, etc), actual characteristics, policies, and election details of current political world leaders and then gives the reader ideas of what could happen in the future if current themes and issues are not addressed. The plot was well developed with sudden and unexpected twists of suspense, murder, danger, and tragedy. I liked how the author wove in Marcus' backstory and how his past actions, skills, and friendships led him to the end results of this novel. I also appreciated the rawness of his guilt and depression in the wake of tragedy and how realistic it was. Overall, I thought this was a well written and engaging political thriller, and I look forward to where the story may go from here.
I received this novel from Tyndale House through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
