Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter (or possibly multiple chapter for this one) of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
Last time we saw that our crew seem to finally have their stuff together. Maybe they did learn from the events of the last book.
The timing of my choosing this book has been odd. We have a book with a potential war starting at the Russian/Ukrainian border as part of a plot to restore the USSR to communist rule, and we have a full-fledged war going on right now at that location. I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin isn’t sharing Dogin’s mission and plan. How did this book do in Russia? I’m also doing this as we inaugurate a new President of the US on Martin Luther King Day. It’s politics all around. Plus this book the last few months of last year and will probably be going in this feature until sometime in Spring. The next book is just as long so I’m going to hold off on that for a while and do a nice short one for the next book.
Of course that makes the problem of coming up with intros when we’re still not even at the halfway mark of the novel more difficult. So let’s leave the two Operation Centers alone for a moment and travel someplace else.
