Tsar: An Alex Hawke Thriller Audiobook (Unabridged)

" In this book Alexander Hawke is nursing his wounds in Bermuda when he is called upon to help counter the new threat facing the UK and US from Russia. Non-stop action across the globe as Hawke and his companions try to stop the Russians. In my opinion by far the worst of the Hawke novels a lot of plot holes and really unrealistic scenarios. "

" Strangely, I am still not tired of this cast of characters. "

" Another enjoyable Alex Hawke adventure. "

" Terrible, hack writing that you can't put down. "

" While I enjoyed reading it, Tsar lacked the level of "punch" and excitement of earlier Hawke novels. "

" I love the adventure and characters (even though practically stereotypical) but to see how author plays out a fairly trite story line is always fun. Certainly a "veg out" read. "

" A good thriller but might be a bit long at 500 pages for some. "

" almost as good as the previous books. still wort reading "

" Good enough for what it is. Not even as plausible as a Tom Clancy novel, but a page-turner nonetheless. "

" read the last book first so this helped fill in the gaps! "

" First I've read by Ted Bell. Very entertaining if a little far-fetched. "

" Quite formulaic and James Bondish. It had great potential and I was expecting a lot more. Cannot compare to his first NYT bestseller because this is my first Bell reading. "

" This was a terrible book. Some vaguely clever ideas, but the characters were either flat and lifeless or so caricatured you couldn't take them even vaguely seriously. Not recommended.... (And I should have realised this was likely when I noticed Glenn Beck's endorsement....) "

" Good so far. Hard to keep up with all the Russian names, but no big deal. "

" Bell can paint a scary picture of what one, or a handfull of people, can do. Alex Hawke saves the day(again) but another page-turner. "

" Overall a pretty good story. It took a little bit to get going but once it did the action was well paced. I liked it. "

" A little too Romance Novelish . . . "

" British Super-Agent Alex Hawke goes after the Russians in a new cold war. "

" Excellent; Continuing character: Alex Hawke; a new Russian Tsar is looking to make the Soviet Union a superpower once again and Hawke must stop him; unfortunately, he's fallen in love with the tsar's daughter "

" Slow moving, predictable "

" This is the most recent book and ends in an unexpected way "

" My first Alex Hawke and I love it! This is a great one to read slow and savor. Can't wait to get to more! "

" A little jumpy, but pretty good "

" High adventure! "

" Quite badly written - a straight psuedo-Bond fantasy that fails to ignite despite the decent premise. "

" Reading Ted Bell's Alex Hawke series is like watching a James Bond movie or a Michael Bay action blockbuster. While it may not be as sophisticated or realistic as Tom Clancy's novels, Ted Bell is a great writer and concocts page-turning adventures that are pure popcorn fun. "

" Terrible, hack writing that you can't put down. "

" Good, but the build-up was better than the end. "

" Complete trash. Do not bother. I read the first quarter of this book thinking it was a Bond type story. Boy was I wrong. "

" Great story but much like all the others in this line of his books "

" I enjoyed this book, reading Ted Bell is like a romance "mind-candy" only for the action lovers. "

" almost as good as the previous books. still wort reading "

" His hero is too perfect. "

" He's a great author. I am reading his most recent Alex Hawke book called Warlord. "

" Intrique and amazing air possibilities! Cold War returning...the possibilities and of course the touch of love interests committed and lost. "

" I can tolerate this stuff in small amounts well its comical reading in between the heavy or good reads. "
