The Kremlin Conspiracy: A Marcus Ryker Novel, Book 1

Great read! Couldn’t put it down! Definitely would recommend this to readers of thrillers! If you’re into Clancy, you’ll love this!

Two men live similar lives in some respects; one is free and one answers to a monster. Marcus is a Marine 🇺🇸 who at the pinnacle of his career protects the President in the Secret Service. He has a wife he dearly loves and a son who is everything good to him. Oleg is a lawyer who loves and marries the daughter of the future leader of Russia 🇷🇺. Oleg also has a son who is dear to him. Oleg becomes General Counsel to his father-in-law. “The Kremlin Conspiracy” is an incredible look at a present day view of American/ Russian relations. Fiction mixed with truth, a parallel universe, a look at worst-case-scenario. The creativity of the storyline is brilliant, while highlighting the cultural differences of countries. Life brought to the basic need for a family and a good life of meaningful impact on the world around us? I found the ending abrupt, but maybe that was the point? It didn’t detract from the fact that this is a wonderfully complex, entertaining, and thought-provoking read! Impossible to put down!

I’d never read a book surrounding politics..and I wasn’t looking forward to reading it. But I’d heard so much about this author and I respected him-but mainly, I kept seeing the books everywhere so I thought I’d try. It started off slow but I just kept reading. Eventually you get so pulled into the story you can’t put the book down! My heart literally raced for I don’t know how long! I learned a lot of things, scary things about how complacent we are in America and how real this book could become at any moment. The best thing I gathered from this book was death is a fact. We don’t know when or how but it’s coming fast. There is a Heaven and there is a hell, and they are forever. Where will you be?? (Don’t worry...it wasn’t too preachy) Amazing action, eye-opening! Loved it!

I've read a few thrillers here and there with a great lead character. I really excited to see how this series progresses.

This is a super fun, gripping read. What a master Rosenberg is…and nary a swear word or obscene moment. It’s a blast.

Perfect condition, this is a gift for my friend to

I am reviewing the audio version. I will warn the listener that the audio version starts out very "slow." The story goes back and forth between two main characters and it was somewhat difficult to put it all together whereas a paper version would have probably helped me figure out what was happening. Honestly, I was ready to chuck it. Have patience and stick with it because after about 30-45 minutes of listening, the story begins to come together and all of the early background and character development makes a lot more sense. The story is riveting and will have you on the edge of your seat. So much of this story could be true today. I listened to this on a 40 minute commute and it made the commute go by in a flash and made you want to sit in your vehicle to listen to the rest of it. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this book. I would recommend it to people that like political thrillers. The character develop!ent was great. I could read about 5 chapters in about 20 minutes.

A great adventure book with zero profanity.. what a blessing! I will definitely purchase all the books in this series… keep them coming :)

hinter den verschlossenen Türen des OO und des Kremls. Former Marine and former Secret Service Agent Marcus Ryker und Oleg Kraskin, code named The Raven, son-of-law von Russia's President Luganow und ein deep mole by heart sind ein ungleiches Paar. Ein Paar, das seit Jahren von einander unbemerkt, genau auf diese Constellation zulebt, den politischen Ereignissen geschuldet. Die Handlungsstränge und Lebenswirklichkeiten der Beiden finalisieren punktgenau in der Verhinderung eines nuclearen doomsdays. Nur wie immer im Leben, alles fordert seinen Preis. Nichts geschieht ohne consequences. Und wenn Geopolitik für persönliche Macht missbraucht wird, werden Menschen zu Schachfiguren im big picture. Ryker und Kraskin werden von den Russen sowohl auch vom US government hunted. Aber Ryker wäre nicht Ryker wenn er nicht Ryker wäre. Smart und voller surprises und tödlicher Effiziens. Ein ex Marine. Ein ex Secret Service Agent beim PPD. Einer der best ausgebildesten Männer im Land. Marcus Ryker hat keine Ambitionen in einem Super Max oder in einem Gulag zu enden, nor Oleg. Die Frage ist nur, werden sie es schaffen? Sie werden nicht nur von zwei countries hunted, auch entern neue alte "Freunde" wie der Iran und North Korea die Arena, verschieben die Machtstructuren mit dem Ziel die USA zu annihilieren. Es hat richtig Spaß gemacht die Geschichte, die langsame unaufgeregte Entwicklung zweier unterschiedlicher Typen und Werdegänge, die genau auf einen finalen Punkt zusteuern zu lesen. Die Action ist ein Genuss, Ryker ein wunderbarer Sympathieträger, die story hoch aktuell. All in, sage ich nur. Ich freue mich auf "The Persian Gamble". Vielen Dank.

Couldn’t put it down. Action cover to cover. Hopefully, the prospect of nuclear war never eventuates and we one day learn that war is pointless

El peor libro que he leído en años. No lo compren, no vale la pena. Aburrido, lento, mal escrito y predecible. Literatura basura.

SUPER READ AS USUAL, FAST PACED ALMOST CINEMATIC STYLE, SCENE REELING FAST INTO NEXT SCENE. VERY AMERICAN STYLE SUSPENSE THRILLER BOOK.
