Kolymsky Heights Lionel Davidson Books

Beware. The central device that drives the plot of this book is muddled and as implausible (even with the requisite suspension of disbelief that this genre requires) as the rest of the story. Also, the majority of the book consists of the ad nauseam minutiae of the protagonist getting into Siberia, once there the denouement is anti-climactic. This plot structure can work and indeed is done excellently in Craig Thomas' "Firefox" but here it's merely frustrating. The love in certain circles for this book is baffling in the extreme and I would give it a single star if not for the actual wordsmithing.

Kolymsky Heights Lionel Davidson Books Reviews

Book was ok, a bit laborious.
Put away your de la Care, your Clancy, et al. None of them can compare with this page turning story. I have
actually read it 9 times and still love it. Don't pass it up. Far exceeds Davidson's other books.
Good spy thriller. Takes place in Siberia and I got chilled in more than one way while reading it.
Doesn't meet the breathlessly hyped reviews on the dust cover - too long, scattershot & ultimately unsatisfying. Any of the James Bond stories would be more enjoyable.

This story takes you right inside the head of the main character. Every action he takes as he progresses along his mission is explained but not to the point of being laborious. I read it some years ago, then read it again some months ago & then realised I had missed out on the end for some reason. The last part is mind blowing......I did not have dry eyes by the time I finished!
There is a film out or coming out I believe, but I can not understand how this book could be recreated on the screen.
Read it before you see the film!! ENJOY!
Lionel Davidson may have written this late in his career but this may be his best novel. As usual you are misled through a maze of detail that seem unrelated to the plot but wait for it, it's coming. A big book of adventure that keeps building with the final third requiring a straight through read. Never heard of the author before reading a magazine that mentioned his books and glad I bought it. So were the people who borrowed my copy.
Listen, if you enjoy a good thriller, and are able to suspend belief a bit, this is one helluva ride. I defy you to put it down in the last 100 or so pages. Kudos to the author. He had me hooked before the hero was introduced. I've ordered the rest of his catalog.
