And yes the character list at the back is most helpful for an oldster like me who has some difficulty in remembering "Bill from Bob". Look forward to reading more of Tim's books.""Tim Heath has another winner! Although the book has a lot of characters to keep track of, particularly in the beginning, you can still follow the action. It takes place in Russia so there are a lot of Russian names that are a bit difficult for our American tongue but you do get use to them. By the end of the book you have no problem remembering who is who. It is action packed and you want to keep reading to find out what happens. A very enjoyable read. Can't wait for the next one.""WOW! A mind trapping story that you can't get enough! It is so good as the first one and I can't wait for the next one!""This is the first book I've read in a while that I actually had to concentrate on - lot's of characters, so I didn't want to mix them up, lot's of them had Russian names too which made it slightly harder to retain them for me. But so worth it! It's a fantastic book - the construction of both plot and characters is fabulous. It's one that I didn't want to put down - a fantastic thriller!"
