jennie_cole's review against another edition

Red Station is the first in a new series. It focuses on MI5 officer Harry Tate. After a disastrous op, Tate is sent to a remote station in Georgia that might not be what it seems. The story bounces back and forth between the Red Station and London. Tate is trying to find out what is going on and London is trying to hide the Red Station.
While the concept is interesting and clearly ends with a book 2 ready to go, I found the actual plat and action kind of boring. There did not feel to be a book of action nor a psychological warfare book. It just felt kind of sleepy. It wasn't a bad book just more one I would not prioritize reading at all.

Harry Tate, MI5, is blamed for a mission gone wrong and is exiled to Red Station - a nothing posting in the middle of nowhere, except their location is about to be invaded by Russians. Excellent story, good addition to the spy thriller genre, ready for the next one!

I'm actually surprised that I finished Red Station. It takes a long time to get going, and I usually quit a book if it hasn't grabbed me in the first 70+ pages. I'd break the book into 3 parts:
a) The very long ramp up to anything interesting
b) The action packed, page turning middle part
c) The rather quick and less-than-satisfying climax and conclusion
Anyway, I started it, I finished it, and once I click "Save" at the bottom of this review, I'll never think of it again. With so much great literature in the world, I can't recommend this novel.
