Helpful Score: 4
Ted Bell's debut book is a post cold war thriller. The main character Alex Hawke is likened by some to a new James Bond. This is unfair to both the character and to the author. Their are some similarities but Hawke is a much deeper character, James Bond is a legend but his past is a bit mysterious. This is not the case with Alex Hawke. His past is very much at the surface of the character portrayal.
The story centers around a stolen/sold Russian submarine. Hawke is tasked with locating and getting it back. The story is fast paced and easy to follow. It is a book you can put down if you have to but you won't want to.
The cast of characters that support the main character are well written and indeed add a great deal to the book. Ted Bell is a good storyteller and this is a masterful Debut.
