Title: Snow Bored
Review: A pretty irresistible set-up gets swiftly bogged down in this Cold War era thriller. The table's set with some atmospheric cloak and dagger espionage, even if our heroes are a little too true-blue and stalwart to be very compelling. (Indeed, in one bitter aside the author seems to take a shot at Deighton and LeCarre for not being patriotic enough in their depiction of Britain's security services.) The pay-off should be this team's McLean-ean spiriting of a KGB defector on a night train through snowbound Europe -- and some of this is good. However, the reader quickly ends up taxing themselves trying to keep straight the ceaseless parade of would-be assassins bent on thwarting the mission.The book's okay, but doesn't stand the test of time, beyond a few thrills and serving as an example of the back-bench spy novelists of the period.
