Format:Taschenbuch
I have read every DeMille novel and enjoyed them for their entertainment value. Unfortunately, "The Talbot Odyssey," while certainly not boring, was totally implausible from start to finish. How is it that as the USSR prepares to destroy the US (and no reason is really given for this), only a group of retired fogey OSS types, a former NYPD cop, some shadowy British commandos, and a mid-level NSA analyst save the day? Neither the US intelligence agencies nor the armed forces make an appearance in this ludicrous plot. And the characterization is so hackneyed, it is virtual comic book writing. The Russians are pure evil, the US traitors are so traitorous, except it's not clear what these 70-year old geezers did between their defection to the Soviets at the end of WWII and the 1980s to earn their filthy rubles. Moreover, the identity of the so-called third Talbot is so obvious as to be a ho-hummer. DeMille has written some superb novels, "The Gold Coast" and "Word of Honor." In contrast, his cold warrior stuff such as Talbot and Charm School suffer from a cliched and steretypical mindset about the Soviet Union. Another reason to be thankful the cold war is over.

The fact is that what Demille(my favorite author) writes about in this novel could indeed happen again...just add the newest technology and you have a possible match. There will unfortunately always be those who would attempt to destroy what Americans have worked so long and so hard to establish. Few other authors can gain my attention as Nelson Demille can in most all of his books(except Mayday..which was written with another friend). If you want to escape into a world which existed only a few years ago(and could easily come around again) told to you in a way only Demille can do, then try The Talbot Odyssey. If you missed this one and liked his others this will not disappoint!
Format:Taschenbuch
"The Talbot Odyssey" is an intensely entertaining novel, that although doesn't challenge one intellectually, does present itself as more than suitable time filler. I have read all but two ("The Gold Coast" & "Spencerville") of DeMille's works and he is amongst my favourite authors. His ability to immerse his novels in pertinent and often necessary historical context (i.e. "Plum Island" & "By The Rivers Of Babylon") is a strong drawcard for me. Once again, DeMille manages to capture historical mystery and mold it into a fast-paced and gripping story with all the elements that make a successful and entertaining novel.

As with the other books written by Nelson DeMille he has NOT failed in keeping you glue to the book, and always wanting more. This is a exciting book, and recommended. Lesen Sie weiter...

Best Book of the Best Modern Author
This is on my top 5 list of all time...while I do concede that it is less deep and profound than Demille's other works, it far surpasses them all in terms of the pure storytelling... Lesen Sie weiter...

SCIENCE FICTION
REMINDED ME OF A STEPHEN KING BOOK, WHERE THE 1ST HALF IS HALFWAY SANE & THE 2ND HALF GOES OFF ON A TANGENT THAT MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLLOW. REDICULOUS BOOK.

A Great Early Demille Book!
In my opinion Nelson Demille is the best novelist around. This is one of his earlier works. It deals with the end of WWII, the OSS, the CIA, and the Russian Embassy on Long... Lesen Sie weiter...

A "5 Course Meal" - Not a "Drive-Through"

Not to be believed
As a DeMille fan, even I thought this a real stretch. I'm not sure how contracts work, but this had to be the last of a multi-book deal. Lesen Sie weiter...
