I don’t know what it is with spy thrillers, but they are just fun to read. In this novel you are treated to a fast paced thrill ride, on par with Tom Clancy and others. I found Nisim Kobarsky to be a thinking man’s Archer. Ok, maybe the wrong comparison, but with the name “Cobra”, I thought of Stallone’s film and the contemporary spy comedy. This is not a comedy, obviously, it’s a deep spy novel with thriller elements and action packed scenes. Set to a backdrop of contemporary Middle East political problems, you have a winning combination. I found the book to be great, I read it during breaks between world cup games and after watching them. I love the pacing, Cobra is my kind of hero, although sometimes it’s more of an antihero, if you ask me. Pick this one up, it’s pretty good.
