Jun-17-07    hitman84: Dude, I'm "deepzero" on FICS :) Jun-19-07    WannaBe: "Stalin's Ghost" By Martin Cruz Smith, I will give it B+, possibly A-. Great story, what started as an investigation into sightings of Stalin on Moscow's subway station, eventually ends with Det. Renko in Tver solving multiple murders by members of the Black Beret. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMON Minor characters include a young chess prodigy, an old chess grandmaster, and chess references thrown in for good measure. Oh, yeah, one fictional blitz tournament was written about in the book too... =) This book, is the latest Det. Renko story, previous stories include "Gorky Park", "Polar Star", "Red Square", "Havanna Bay", "Wolves Eat Dogs". Jun-21-07    dabearsrock1010: <WannaBe> where do/did you go to school?

Jun-21-07    WannaBe: Next book review, "Einstein" by Walter Isaacson, the book is over 500 pages long, and I'm only on page 20, could take a while...
