RED CORONA by TIM GLISTER
My Rating: ★★★★
Richard Knox is a secret agent in big trouble. He’s been hung out to dry by a traitor in MI5, and the only way to clear his name could destroy him. Meanwhile in a secret Russian city, brilliant scientist Irina Valera makes a discovery that will change the world, and hand the KGB unimaginable power
Desperate for a way back into MI5, Knox finds an unlikely ally in Abey Bennett, a CIA recruit who’s determined to prove herself whatever the cost…
Quite an interesting read! Not something that I am familiar with and I enjoyed it more than I expected!
It is such a well written plot and narrated through the detailed versions of the three main characters Richard Knox, Abey Bennett and Irina Valera. The background stories of all the three of them are so engaging. It covers all the elements relating to the Cold War era such as the secrecy, spies network, espionage and the competition among the major world powers.
Apart from all the interesting historical facts, the plot also contains sufficient twists to keep you engaged right till the end. Overall, an excellent spy thriller!
Thank You NetGalley and Oneworld Publications for this ARC!
