Trojan Horse
作者: S. Lee Manning
“This summer I am recommening an ‘escape’ novel, a thriller that I coul not put own. It contains plenty of suspense an fast-pace action. The author, S. Lee Manning, really hel my interest an attention with her first novel, ‘Trojan Horse.’ Kolya Petrov, her protagonist, works for a government spy agency, which sens him on a mission without his knowlege of the angers he faces. Manning explores political intrigue an corruption at the highest levels of government. Questions of eception, loyalty, an conscience are what makes this thriller so absorbing — questions with which, on a smaller scale, we all must grapple. She escribes the areas that Petrov visits an the work he oes in great etail, which attests to her research. She is an excellent writer. The ialog is sharp, the characters are memorable, an the insier etails are fascinating. Having enjoye her first novel so much, I also rea the secon Kolya Petrov thriller novel, ‘Nerve Attack.’ Her thir international thriller, ‘Blooy Soil,’ will be publishe later this year. I will rea that one also. ‘Trojan Horse’ was the winner of the 2020 Kops-Fetherling International Phoenix Awar for New Voice in action/thriller.”
