5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!

What a wonderful read Cold War is!!!!!

I cannot get enough of Xander King, Sam, and now Cali. What a great character addition Cali brings to the team. Please keep her around for a long time, I think she is a "player" in the world of action. Also the Josiah character, if you can "pry" him await from the Cold tundra, every now and then, he would make a great aid to X and Sam in their future exploits. Standing by for the next chapter, what a great, timely read Cold War is.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cold War Is Fast action thriller with the X in control as usual

Brandley Wright give us another great story with his star Xander as our hero. Non-Stop action from Xander to Sam in Russia and the White House. I couldn't put the book down until I was finished and you will do the same when you start reading. Brandley should have been working for the CIA, his story telling is awesome

5.0 out of 5 stars Timely Thriller

What a Timely thriller! Following the Covid-19 virus and the installation of the new president, X is once again called in to help. A small town in northern Alaska is entirely wiped out quickly and mysteriously. It is thought a new, more deadly, virus is being developed and tested, to be used in the lower 48 states. Time is of the essence. I couldn't put this down until I was done. It gave me goose bumps because of how realistic the premise is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pertinent book in today’s world

In the second set of stories about Alexander King we find that the President has asked him to go to Barrows, Alaska and investigate why over two hundred people have died. Could it be bioterrorism? King finds that a Russian virologist is working in the mining facility and developing a deadly virus. This book is very fast paced and highly advises the reader not to start in the evening like I did. It’s very hard to put the book down once you start. The story of Xander in Alaska and Sam in Russia blend together very well.
Can’t help but wonder if we might see more of Cali and Sheriff Josiah in future books. Can't wait for book 3 and more adventure

5.0 out of 5 stars Every thing you would want in an espionage thriller
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020

There is no let up in this tension and pulsating thriller from the first chapter to the very end. Two very likable characters in Sam and X who have a brother and sister type relationship. Sam is who is just as lethal as X is a CIA agent and X is a covert operative who accepts assignments that the CIA and the President do not trust to give to anyone else. Twists and turns thru out that you do not see coming that is a constant thread in Wrights other books in this series. Nothing appears as it seems. Also no one is better with snappy and witty dialogue between the main characters than Wright.

A twist of a story which keeps the reader flying through the pages. X is at his best as he unravels the deadly viral outbreak in the remote frozen small towns in Alaska while Sam, unknowingly is involved in another piece of the puzzle in Russia. A very pertinent book in today’s world, an action packed, adrenalin spiked summer read. Well done, Bradley Wright.
