"Prescient . . . [Red to Black] depicts a frightening and ruthless Russia, which answers to nobody." -- The Economist"Terrifying, quite frankly . . . chillingly unputdownable--everything you didn't want to know about Putin but were afraid to ask." -- Emma Thompson"Alex Dryden's brilliant and unforgettable novel has told me more about the making of modern Russia than I could learn from all books of journalism and contemporary history combined...nothing short of miraculous." -- Stephen Fry"An exceptional novel by any standard; readers who enjoy a love story mixed with their espionage (à la le Carré's The Little Drummer Girl) will appreciate." -- Library Journal (starred review)"Dryden has written a superb spy novel....the warning bell that "Red to Black" sounds against Putin's Russia has a powerful ring, especially when it turns to the KGB." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch
