Title: Remainder bin please
Review: 'Could very well be tomorrow's headlines' screams a blurb on the cover of this post-Cold War thriller about an American president foiling the planned partition of Poland between a Russia ruled by criminals and a Germany again surging eastwards. Although the pace is relentless, the characterisation is predictable and insulting. While the Americans are all heroic action figures and the Poles plucky fighters, the Russians are brutal sexual perverts and the Germans untrustworthy plotters. That the author has chosen to make the sadistic Russian leader an epileptic as well is distasteful, to say the least. One for the remainder bin.
