 Readers’ Reviews:

DuffyAkaroa‍ ‍5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly recommend this brilliant new cold war thriller.

“Maskirovka is an absolutely fascinating read, combining the pace and jeopardy of a Tom Clancy-style thriller with the depth and seriousness of an author who has clearly mastered his subject…
….It’s educational without ever becoming dry, and crucially, it’s also a lot of fun to read. Thoroughly recommended.”

Ian Synge‍ ‍5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging fusion of fact and fiction

“It was a delight to stumble across this book and a pleasure to read. It's well paced, good character development, and a nicely different to be written from a predominantly French perspective. Critically too there is a ring of authenticity about it, weaving together fact and fiction convincingly, and evoking N.A.M. Rodger's point about the 'apartness of the sea' where things can be done that would be impossible on land - making this a truly thought provoking work. Eminently worth a read and I'm looking forward to more.”

RF2015 5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping, meticulously researched military thriller

Maskirovka is an impressive achievement. It blends the pace of a modern thriller with a level of technical and historical detail that feels genuinely authentic. The research shines on every page…….
It is both entertaining and thought provoking, a scenario told with credibility, momentum and a deep respect for the real world machinery and people involved. Highly recommended.

James Pennington 5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable, binge worthy read.

After the initial scene setting, a fast paced read full of nautical detail to delight the naval enthusiast. A binge worthy read.

Simon 5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read

Really enjoyed it fast paced and well researched with a Different Perspective from the French side of things.

F Chauveau de Villoutreys 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.

I had a really good time reading this novel. Techno-thrillers are my favorite genre, and it’s a hard one to get right (and I’m picky). It has to feel realistic and technically credible without bludgeoning the reader with a spec sheet every other page. Here, the balance is right and the story stays fluid. As some comments say, there’s a bit of Clancy in it. In any case, it’s a success, and I’m eagerly waiting for the next one.

MJK 5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect gift for you or your friends

A trully great first book.

The author clearly takes inspiration with Tom Clancys novels in a more modern, and especially French way. Very well written, exceptionally well documented it was trully a great surprise
Long story short, the perfect Christmas gift for friends and familly who loves Clancys stories

Adahn 5.0 out of 5 stars Prenant et passionnant de réalisme

Si Tom Clancy avait été français, voilà ce qu'il aurait pu écrire
Un Tempête Rouge à l'échelle régionale
On replonge facilement en 1999 grâce à une foule de détails et avec force de réalisme
Prenant et passionnant.
A lire et à offrir!
