This review is from: Grandmaster High Priest (Paperback)
The authors call upon the unforgettable characters of their national bestseller, Grandmaster, to paint a vivid portrait of two men, sworn enemies, born under the same ominous stars, whose lives must forever be locked in mortal opposition.
American superspy and chess prodigy Justin Gilead, and Alexander Zharkov, head of a feared Soviet agency, are the protagonists. When a Soviet initiative to thaw uneasy relations with the U.S. is thwarted by a gruesome series of killings, Gilead and Zhartov claim the blood streets of Moscow as their personal gameboard in a rematch to the death. Ruthlessly, they launch their opening assaults against each other, rocking the command centers of both the Kremlin and the White House with wave after wave of violence. Neither man is aware of the dark consequences of his vengeance, until, through their bitter rivalry, another player enters the game...an opponent so powerful he makes murder seem like child's play.

1: Find copies of "Grandmaster" and "High Priest". 2: Get a comfortable armchair. 3: Wait for a really wet, miserable Sunday afternoon. 4: Open a bottle of wine... perhaps a cheeky young New Zealand Reisling. 5: Have a platter of snacky-bite things to hand. 6: Settle down, read, and enjoy.
Yes, folks - this is a good way to spend an afternoon.

I think that 'High Priest' is a well done sequel to Grandmaster. The characters are dimensionalized, the plot is not predictible and the ending is terrific!
