Betrayal game

That said, the rest of the plot is wonderful, with layers of deception, conspiracy, and humanity, including one big surprise I saw coming from a mile away, either because I've read this book before possible or because I've seen the same device used elsewhere I have.

A wonderful thriller, once you're past Lammeck's unlikely behavior. Jul 18, Dave rated it liked it. I read this before The Assassins Gallery which is one of the worst novels I've ever read and this one is much, much better. But that's a very low bar. This is a very mediocre novel despite the interesting history behind it. Robbins is an ok writer but the Lammeck character is a dull, uninteresting block of wood.

He's one of the worst protagonists in thriller history. The Lee Harvey Oswald angle is interesting if predictable. I would give The Betrayal Game a 2. It's a so so story but do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from book 1. May 28, Stefan rated it really liked it Shelves: mysteries-thrillers , historical-fiction.

I've enjoyed most of Robbin's works and though this was not my favorite work of his, it was not his worst work either. The action was pretty much non-stop. The dialogue and plot line was intelligent and thoughtout. Though I've never been to Cuba, the geography was sort of fun to read about. This book has some clever plot twists some of which resulted in me being awestruck with amazement. A book that is well written with believeable characters, well researched settings, and a fast plot.

Recommend I've enjoyed most of Robbin's works and though this was not my favorite work of his, it was not his worst work either. Dec 04, Melody rated it really liked it. Though the story follows Mikhail Lammeck, a fictional main character, many of the people and events mentioned were real.

Apr 22, John rated it liked it. I have read most of the books by this author and generally enjoy them. He does extensive research and never fails to get me wrapped up in the story.

That being said I feel this was not his strongest book to date and the fact that he has a recurring main character makes me hope he isn't starting a series. Jun 22, Jeff rated it really liked it. The first David Robbins book I've read and another good mind-candy type read.

I haven't been a big fan of historical books, even as fiction, but this was a page turner that I couldn't put down.

I'll try another of his books one day. Feb 12, Simon Koenig rated it liked it Shelves: fiction. David Robbins is one of favorite Historical Fiction writers. While compelling, this work was not as solid as his other novels. Still a good read the characters were not as developed nor did there seem to be an overriding theme to the novel. I still recommend it but, like prior works better. Dec 07, Garry rated it liked it. It was interesting but a slow read. Sep 30, Joy rated it liked it Shelves: light-reading-spy-detective-etc.

Fidel Castro, plots to kill, Cuba 's. Good beach read. Jan 02, Marion Mockridge rated it did not like it. Audio book: This plot is a roundabout way to a disappointing end. Nov 21, Wynter rated it liked it. Good spy novel, I really enjoyed the book. Jun 22, Craig rated it it was amazing.
