I first decided to read “Arctic Fire” by Stephen Frey because I was looking for a good action/adventure read.

My fourth Frey book and I have scored each one 5*. The plot is superbly structured and gathers momentum towards the final thrilling finale. The storyline is similar to other of his books (that I have read so far) in that 1 or 2 central characters from the financial world become involved in some h...
Some days after finishing the book I can hardly remember what was it about. Or better to say - everything except for the main idea has gone - this phase actually could sum up all my thoughts concerning the story.
