Why read it?
1 author picked Blue Masquerade as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was skeptical of this novel, as I felt it was based on a flawed premise. The idea of a NATO vs. Soviet Engagement in the 90s was an open-and-shut case of NATO ass-whipping. By the 90s, the Soviet Machine was starting the downward spiral that we see fighting in Ukraine today. TK erased my doubts in the first few pages. I thought, “Brilliant!” and I was hooked.
There are twists in this book that you just don’t see coming. And when they hit you, it’s like a bucket of cold water. Just shocking. I can’t recommend this book enough.…
From Alex's list on cold war turns hot military thrillers.
