From Publishers Weekly

Winner of an Edgar for his debut in Chiefs, basis of a six-hour TV series, Woods presents another potential bestseller, vibrating with tensions created by covert operations in the CIA and the KGB. The heroine is Kate Rule, member of the team at Langley Field assigned to keep tabs on Soviet moves. Emulating male machismo, Rule grows impatient with her colleagues' caution and flies to Europe, on the trail of a Russian agent who has recently disappeared. The narrative switches alternately between fraught events in Russia and America, as Rule's suspect masterminds an invasion of Sweden. The story is packed with horrors and close calls, up to and including the demand for the Swedish government to surrender at the threat of a blast from a nuclear submarine. All the way, Rule and her few allies are caught in seemingly inescapable death traps set by traitors, trusted officials in Sweden and in Washington. An outsized cast of well-defined characters, nonstop action and clearly rendered locales make the novel a genuine if not entirely credible thriller. Reader's Digest Condensed Books selection. February 24

From Library Journal

Scanning satellite photos, Katharine Rule, chief watcher of the Soviet scene for the CIA, spots a secret KGB training base, code-named Malibu, on the Baltic in Latvia. KGB General Viktor Majorov runs Malibu and is the mastermind behind a Soviet plot to take over Sweden. As Majorov races to set his plan in motion, Rule battles bungling CIA bosses to make her case before the Russians launch their invasion. Woods is a master storyteller who has created one of the very best spy thrillers this reviewer has seen. He has researched his subjects thoroughly: the book is as convincing as it is exciting. The action begins at full throttle and doesn't let up until the very end. Enthusiastically recommended for every popular fiction collection. Brian Alley, Sangamon State Univ. Lib., Springfield, Ill.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Lighter weight spy novel..., Mai 3 2004
Par Louis M. Perdue (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Deep Lie (Paperback)
...but quite fun to read. Although I am sure most people, including Mr. Woods himself, are tired of this comparison, this book is very Clancy-ish in its Russia vs. U.S. one-upmanship and its submarine and weaponry technological detail work.

The story is told from two alternating viewpoints: the first from CIA department head Katherine Rule who thinks she has discovered a plot in which Russia will be invading Sweden. Not one of her superiors believes her and she must go behind their backs to continue investigating this dire possibility. The other viewpoint is that of a Russian submarine commander, moved from his normal naval command to an elite Russian fighting force, the one being trained for the invasion itself.

The storytelling is competent and not as technologically detailed as a Tom Clancy, making the story, in my opinion, flow more smoothly than Clancy's. I had figured out who the mole in the CIA book was long before the end of the book but it held my interest enough to want to find out how & when Katherine would discover it.

All in all, a nice earlier book by Woods and a step above most of his somewhat cookie-cutter mystery thrillers.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Immature and unprofessional fairytale with zero reality., Mai 15 2003
Par Texas Books (Dallas, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
25 pages in it became obvious that this book is nothing but poor man's James Bond 007-style fairytale. Author has zero knowledge of Russian social politics and geography. Time line is way way of base! The only reason I finished reading this book is to see how bad it will get towards the end. I read dozens of books about cold war and espionage and I would have to put this in bottom 3. Unless you enjoy unrealistic Star wars type fiction this book is not for you..

4.0étoiles sur 5 Katherine Rule Rules!, Nov. 25 2002
Par S. Schwartz "romonko" (alberta canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent submarine thriller. It was quite refreshing having a female protaganist in an espionage book. This book is not as formula as Tom Clancy and that's a rather good thing. I love submarine thrillers, and this is certainly one of the better ones.

I felt this has been one of Mr. Woods best books. The ability to switch characters and storylines without losing the reader was very nice. I will read all of Mr. Woods books.
