Kurzbeschreibung

25. September 2007 Evan Tanner Suspense Thrillers

Cold War superspy Evan Tanner lost the ability to sleep on a battlefield in Korea. So where the heck has he been since the '70s?

Frozen. Cryogenically. A Tanner-sicle. Which he never thought would happen when he walked into a basement in Union City, New Jersey, more than a quarter century ago. Now he's unthawed and ready to rumble, and his somewhat addled, former super-secret boss, "the Chief," is glad his favorite operative's active again.

Tanner awoke to a different world, though some bad things have remained the same . . . or gotten worse. Even before he can fully acclimate himself to this perplexing future, Tanner's off to Burma (which isn't really Burma anymore) to pose as a monk, destabilize the government, dodge a lethal double-cross, and rescue a beautiful prisoner.

The world's still full of conspiracy, corruption, greed, political chicanery—and beautiful women. So Tanner's back with a vengeance, with a lot of lost time to make up for.

Evan Tanner, the spy who never sleeps, was placed in cold storage at the end of the Cold War--literally and figuratively. But in Tanner on Ice Block defrosts one of his earliest and best series heroes and sends him to Burma to stir up the guerillas, destabilize the country's authoritarian regime, and incidentally assassinate the Nobel Peace Prize-winning daughter of the country's national hero. Before long, Tanner's been set up for murder, drug smuggling, and blowing up Burma's most sacred shrine. Accompanied by a beautiful Russian/French/Vietnamese woman who wants out of Myanmar for her own reasons and has a dwindling cache of precious rubies to pay her way, he snakes through Burma disguised as a monk. Along their journey the two dodge SLORC trackers, insurgent Shan tribesmen, and the henchman of Tanner's mysterious spymaster. In Block's skilled hands, the much anticipated return of Tanner is a perfect summer hammock read. --Jane Adams -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

4.0 von 5 Sternen A Tanner fan gives thumbs up to this one as well 20. Januar 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
I loved the book. I certainly agree that it requires a full suspension of belief, but that has always been the hallmark of these novels. The sense of adventure still seemed present as did the quirky way of looking at the world and the fascination with everything in it. Most (not all) of the books in this series and among my favorite mysteries and I hope Mr. Block writes more on Tanner. I'm guessing those who hated it are fans of Block's darker works, for me, this is just plain fun. (I like the Burglar books too)

3.0 von 5 Sternen Fun, But Not Enough Fun 27. Juli 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
This revival of Block's most "high concept" series is a bit higher in concept than previous entries. Not only is Tanner a man who can't sleep, but now he's been out like a light for 25 years and has missed a quarter century of social upheaval.

In one of his books on writing, Block talks a bit about the then-dormant Tanner series and why it had become dormant. One reason he cited was that many of the protagonist's lunatic-fringe interests weren't fringe any more, or at least had struggled a bit closer to center stage. He's right, I think. Many of the simmering ethnic conflicts, conspiracies and such that were grist for Tanner's mill in the old days are headline material now. (Not all, though. The funniest moment in this book comes when Tanner matter-of-factly explains to his part-Russian lady friend that she might, just might, be a beneficiary in a movement to restore the Russian monarchy.)

The problem, is, the Tanner books were never as tightly plotted as some of Block's other books -- they were romps, and their very romptitude carried them along. Now that events have diminished the central conceit, this book's weaknesses are highlighted -- much of the action takes place off-stage, several key events are chalked up to "I guess we'll never know," and too many scenes are summarized, rather than shown.

That said, I enjoyed the book. It's full of witty asides and characterization bits. and I think I would enjoy future outings, if Block can come up with some way to make the series motor work again, like he did with the Chip Harrison books. Tanner is a fun character and he could probably get a lot of mileage out of the current X-Files/conspiracy freak atmosphere, for example.
