The Fall of Moscow Station

By: Mark Henshaw

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

When a body with Russian military tattoos is found floating in a lake outside Berlin, the CIA immediately takes notice. And the murder coincides with the defection of one of the CIA's upper-level officers.

Alden Maines crosses the Rubicon and decides to cash in as a double agent for Russia. But Arkady Lavrov of Russia's intelligence service (GRU) has other plans. He immediately announces Maines' defection to the world and then pumps him for every last ounce of intel. Analyst Jonathan Burke and agent Kyra Stryker are up against their most formidable enemy yet, and their lives and the fate of America's most important assets in the New Cold War hang in the balance.

Not so hot

Would you try another book from Mark Henshaw and/or Eric G. Dove?

Probably not.

Any additional comments?

The title and category as a spy novel led me to expect much more than this book delivered. It is not macho-Rambo but it is certainly not in the league of something by Charles Cumming, Jason Matthews, Phillip Kerr, Wingall, etc. Russian bad guy was fairly cartoonish, U.S. good guys better drawn, but the plot was a bit silly.

Fun book for me to listen to in the car over several days are long drive

Enjoyed this book for the depth of characters and the veriest with in the plot. Enjoyed enough that I'll probably keep it on my phone and a couple three months listen to it again. Rarely if ever do that for a book

One of my Favorite Authors

Since reading Mark's first book, I have really looked forward to each of his next. His second booked continued the story of the two characters he developed and this newest book did as well. A great story that has riveting plot. Great twists and turns about characters that feel real unlike the superhuman "agent" novels written by others. There's real humanity in these characters and that's partly what makes the stories so compelling. Count me one of Henshaw's biggest fans. Ok Mark, get busy on the next one!

Excellent story from start to finish!

This was a thoroughly satisfying book with action, suspense, strategy, and thrills. So excited for the next book in the series!

I enjoyed the first three books, but...

Eric Dove demonstrates how not to narrate a book. His character voices are inept and he emphasizes descriptives often rather than the dialogue. He does manage to avoid most if not all mispronunciations. All in all he is a disappointment which makes enjoyment of the story quite difficult.
