The reader is already familiar with Viktor Korsakov, an American of Russian origin and a professional soldier who fought in Latin America, the Middle East and other “hot spots” from the book “Death Speaks Russian.” In the new action novel, we meet Korsakov already in Russia, at the time of an armed uprising by a powerful terrorist organization, which shakes all Russian power structures to the core. Dramatic scenes of violence, betrayal, love, sharp plot twists, and an unpredictable ending make “The Ring Fault” a desirable acquisition for all connoisseurs of “action literature.”
