A wild ride, a financial and military thriller Bookreporter PUTIN’S GAMBIT is the answer to one set of my prayers. I had hoped for a second collaborative effort from Lou Dobbs and James O. Born after the publication of BORDER WAR. For decades Dobbs has been a must-watch world news commentator whose worldview is firmly set in reality as opposed to doublespeak. Born is simply one of my favorite authors, a scribe who is able to move across genres, from speculative fiction to crime novels, with a skill set honed and sharpened by decades of field experien. "Good plot,thriller." according to Navydoc. Good plot. Excellent for recent world events; potential and real threats. A good read.. Good Read Heide Aguirre If you like Tom Clancy, this will be a good read. Good character developement.
