While the overall story was a bit less engaging than A Gentleman's Game, the additional depth in characterization was more than sufficient to make up for any "loss". I certainly home Rucka returns to Tara Chace sometime soon. ( ) OK, not actually my book, but I've borrowed it to fill in the gaps between the Queen and Country graphic novels that Greg Rucka writes. Its interesting having the same characters in dual formats by the same writer, but as I came to the books from the comics, I can't help but think this would have worked better as a comic. It just seems bloated. Also, irritatingly, despite all the characters being reasonably sensible throughout the book, they start to act in a very daft manner towards the end, and you can't help but think that they do this purely to give you a nail-biting finish, rather then because its necessary. Very annoying. Good fast read though. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Only Greg Rucka, the thriller genre's most fearless writer, would dare create a spy so edgy, so explosive, so extreme, she should be rated X. Tara Chace was once the most dangerous woman alive. And now that the international spy network thinks she's as good as dead, she's even more dangerous than ever. Only one thing could coax Tara back into the game: a chance to vindicate herself. The torture and execution of Dina Malikov has set off a cutthroat grab for power in strategically crucial Uzbekistan. Tara's job is to slip into the country and extract Dina's pro-Western husband and their young son before they are murdered--by his ruthless sister. But there are a couple of wild cards in the deck, including a missing mobile weapons system that can bring down a commercial airliner, not to mention powerful political careers. Now, as she vanishes into hostile territory with a man who may or may not be what he seems, Tara is going to find out that the war on terror is more terrifying than anyone knows. For in a battle where betrayal is a conventional weapon, loyalty is a weakness, and anyone--even a child--is a legitimate target: it's every spy, every woman, for herself. Combine a thriller that defies every expectation with a heroine for whom nothing is out of bounds, and the result is Private Wars, a suspense novel so explosively realistic, it should be classified.
