THE COLDESTWINTER
BOOKLIST -- After a series of
failed recon assignments, M16 agent David Perceval has been given an impossible
mission. Tasked with extracting a Russian scientist during the end of the Cold
War, he quickly discovers that escape is unlikely in a snow-clad Berlin, while
hiding is just as difficult with Russian spies and double agents constantly on
his tail. A prequel to Johnston and Sam Hart's Coldest City (2012), this is just
as gripping, filled with daring escapes and constant double crosses, and the
masterful and unexpected conclusion will keep readers guessing up to the very
end. Perkins' artwork brings the shady world of espionage to life: his heavy
shadowing obscures nearly all facial features, and gray benday dots provide the
only contrast between the stark black-and-white swaths of the artwork. Though
the visual style sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish between characters,
the noirlike images deliver an atmosphere of questionable morality and deep
secrecy that's perfectly in keeping with the story. Ideal for fans of spy
fiction.
