The Magnificent Siberian

Be the first to write a review

Overview

Louis Charbonneau's latest thriller is a major development over his previous works, combining the excitement of an international thriller set in the remote eastern portion of Siberia with the magnificence of the Siberian tiger as the centerpiece of the international struggle. In addition to poaching, the tigers' habitat is being threatened by unprecedented logging contracts granted to foreign companies to exploit the fringes of the tigers' preserve, a symptom of post-Communist Russia's desperation to survive.

More About This Book

Overview

Louis Charbonneau's latest thriller is a major development over his previous works, combining the excitement of an international thriller set in the remote eastern portion of Siberia with the magnificence of the Siberian tiger as the centerpiece of the international struggle. In addition to poaching, the tigers' habitat is being threatened by unprecedented logging contracts granted to foreign companies to exploit the fringes of the tigers' preserve, a symptom of post-Communist Russia's desperation to survive. But Russia's past, with its burden of repression and power, as American biologist Chris Harmon discovers, is still very much in the present, and a core of hardline Communists yearn for its return to power.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
One would expect a good read from a novel with the following elements: an idealistic, unsappy young American hero trying to save the few remaining Siberian tigers in their habitat; a brave young Russian woman reporter, who's really a Russian military intelligence agent; and a Russian nationalist official plotting to overthrow the government of president Boris Yeltsin. There's also a coolly efficient ex-KGB assassin with a penchant for collecting body parts as trophies; the title character, a female tiger intent on protecting her cubs and avenging her wounding by the assassin; and various bit players-bureaucrats, the new Russian criminal class, a colorful old game warden and three adorable tiger cubs. But it all adds up to disappointment. The writing is flat and occasionally embarrassing (``He's an apparatchik, what we would call a career bureaucrat''), the pacing pedestrian and the characters barely breathe. It's quite like the attempted coup, a fizzle. Veteran Charbonneau (White Harvest and 35 other novels) has done better. (Apr.)
