    The Revolution Disappoints
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018*

In this final volume of the Jack McColl/Caitlin Hanley series we pick up the action in 1921, three years after they split up in Russia. McColl is sprung from jail by MI-6 (foreign intelligence) and returns to Russia to foil a MI-5 (domestic intelligence including India) plot to assassinate Gandhi. Of course he meets up with his old flame Caitlin who is working in the Women’s Bureau run by Alexandra Kollontai, a real person. Although working very hard for the revolution, Caitlin is increasingly demoralized by the course the Russian Revolution has taken. The thrill of a radically new society is turning into a police state with an omnipresent bureaucracy. This is not what she fought the revolution for.The assassins which include McColl and Hanley’s old nemesis Aiden Brady are also disillusioned. Their goal is to kill the “Menshevik” Gandhi and with that end a Russo-British trade deal that would torpedo Lenin’s New Economic Program. Yes, the plot is a bit contorted. Along the way we meet the detective and Chekist Yuri Komarov, a well- drawn character, who is both a cynic and a supporter of the revolution. He is not a real person, but we do meet Yacov Peters, the real number two in the Cheka.McColl and Hanley venture from Moscow to Tashkent and then on to India. In India we meet a Sherlock Holmes-like detective who adds spice to the story. At times the book is plodding, but it ends with suspense and high drama.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Slow moving and too much history
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020*

If you’re an expert in the Russian Revolution and the politics surrounding those events, you’ll like this book. If not, it’s the big yawn.The characters were unlike able and the plot was convoluted and dense with Chekas, Bolshevism, Whites and other arcane bits of Russian history.Mainly for professors and other history mavens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent ending to a fantastic series!
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2018*

Once again, Mr. Downing amazes me. I could hardly put this book down, having lived through the Jack/Catlin/Brady triangle of three previous books. I was so delighted to hear of this final installment, I did something I hardly ever do - I BOUGHT it!  The perfect ending to the Jack McColl series - or is it? David, please continue with your historical fiction, it breaks me out on my NON-fiction stagnation. Cheers!
