Great read
Author has tremendous page turning style . Short concise chapters leading one to another. It’s second one I’ve read in succession. I’m trying to get to the gym but can’t stop reading . Was hoping to save it for the beach in two days but not sure , I will get the next in line or go back to his earlier works !!

Easy Reading
LOVED that characters are not reintroduced over and over in every chapter. To me, it becomes boring. And my memory is not that great! If necessary, list the characters in the front or back of the book for easy look up.Held my attention from the start to finish. Twists and turns without being complicated.Lite on profanity.I want Sam and Patrick to reconnect.

The title is meant to be literal
Alexander King died. Make that faked his death. But a dreaded virus that has already killed about all the residents in a remote Alaska village and is suspected of being manufactured to wreak havoc on the United States pulls him back into the shady world of espionage and undercover operatives. The president, who owes King his life, wants his top guy on the case without making too much fuss throughout the media. As we who have lived through one pandemic already know, a virus can dominate headlines. In "Cold War," author Bradley Wright takes the fight to the 49th state's north shore, trading exotic mostly warmer locations for one of the chilliest spots on the earth. Utqiavik, formerly known as Point Barrow, isn't known for its beaches. Temperatures plunge at the top of the world. Wright does his best to explain what hunting down bad guys in snow and ice is all about but slips up on various details. Not that I've been there. But I've been close. Winter can be difficult. In nearby Prudhoe, crews don't even turn off their vehicles to prevent them from freezing up. Solid. But that detail stands as little importance. King infiltrates a mine near the community, posing as a security guard. He uncovers information that leads him to think something rotten is going on. But he also doesn't endear himself to the local population. Wright is a master at his genre. He doesn't fiddle too deeply in what motivates his characters. He gives them moral clarity and a sense of right and wrong. They do what they have to. And they don't appreciate losing. I enjoyed imagining the scenes and situations situated in the state in which I grew up, picturing the immediate blast of cold air that follows a broken window where temperatures easily dip and stay below zero.

Again! This author wrote a great book!
So Brad can seriously write. I’ve been getting so many authors of late that have insecurity issues and have to use the biggest most arcane words you have to look up and then they spend page after page of useless dribble. Brad just gets right to it and keeps it going. Brad you rock!!!

It was an amazing story!
I want to roll up my words in how the book is exceptional. But I don't have the words to describe it. It was incredible. The plot, the characters, and the twists were magnificent! I hope that you find it as rewarding as I did. Kudos to Mr. Wright! I willlike when I read the next book in the series.
