Product Description:
Swashbuckling counter Spy Alex Hawke returns in New York Times bestselling author Ted Bell's most explosive tale of international suspense to date.
There dwells, somewhere in Russia, a man so powerful no one even knows his name. His existence is only speculated upon, only whispered about in American corridors of power and CIA strategy meetings. Though he is all but invisible, he is pulling strings -- and pulling them hard. For suddenly, Russia is a far, far more ominous threat than even the most hardened cold warriors ever thought possible.
The Russians have their finger on the switch to the European economy and an eye on the American jugular. And, most importantly, they want to be made whole again. Should America interfere with Russia's plans to 'reintegrate' her rogue states, well then, America will pay in blood.
In Ted Bell's latest pulse-pounding and action-packed tour de force, Alex Hawke must face a global nightmare of epic proportions. As this political crisis plays out, Russia gains a new leader. Not just a president, but a new tsar, a signal to the world that the old, imperial Russia is back and plans to have her day. And in America, a mysterious killer, known only as Happy the Baker, brutally murders an innocent family and literally flattens the small Midwestern town they once called home. Just a taste, according to the new tsar, of what will happen if America does not back down. Onto this stage must step Alex Hawke, espionage agent extraordinaire and the only man, both Americans and the Brits agree, who can stop the absolute madness borne and bred inside the modern police state of Vladimir Putin's 'New Russia'.

I picked up Tsar thinking that it would be similar to Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels. I've always thought that Cussler's books aren't too cerebral, but at least have engaging plots and are loaded with action from page one. Unfortunately, the only similarity I see in Tsar is that it, too, isn't very cerebral. The only action I read in the 100 pages I managed to get through before giving up were two mass murders for no known reason and the main character skinny dipping on the beach and posing nude ...

Early this fall, I heard an interview will Ted Bell, and decided that TSAR was a book I wanted to read. Last week I finally cracked it open and drank it in over a three day period. So here's what I think.
I am not a big "Spy Novel" reader, I read the James bond books decades ago, and during the late 80's and 90's I read several of Tom Clancy's "Thriller" type books. I have to be in a mood. I started out very high on this book, and over all I liked it quite a bit, but I did have some issues. ... Read More

I was provided an advanced reading copy of Tsar by Ted Bell. This is the fifth novel in the Alex Hawke series and it continues the tradition Bell has developed of action and suspense using plausible plots concerning world events.
In Tsar, Alex Hawke, a modern James Bond character, is recuperating on Bermuda after his injuries suffered in the novel Spy. During his recovery, he meets a beautiful Russian artist, Anastasia Korsakov. As the novel progresses, you discover that Anastasia, "Asia" to ... Read More

I have read several of Ted Bell's books, and this was my favorite so far. I love the Alex Hawke character, and found the character developement in this book very intriguing. I didn't find the first third as slow as other reviewers, but perhaps that's because I was already familiar with some of the characters from previous books.
This was also a very timely book. With Russia making a resurgence as a world power, the whole idea of another tsar is intriguing. As someone who grew up during the cold ... Read More

Not good- Have no idea what Glen Beck was thinking- Glen; your great on the radio but I will never listen to you again on book recommendations. I actually had to force myself to finish this book it was that bad. Where is Donald Hamilton when you need him?
