Publisher's Summary
A Very Private Plot takes the listener inside the Kremlin and the Reagan White House, exhibiting a detailed knowledge and savoir-faire characteristic of the author. The forces unleashed in 1985 threaten any resolution between the United States and the Soviet Union and threaten the lives of a very small unit of young Russians who remain in the memory as the tale reaches a climax.

Political Suspense
When suspense and politics are rolled into one then it's Buckley, Jr. Good stuff.

Slow start, boring, hard to follow
weak initial story... doesn't engage the reader. weak character development. just BORING so i. not gonna try to pauh through. Story tries to sell you on powerful men but it comes off as boastful egotistical blowhards sitting around talking about a clandestine vs transparency in secret missions.
honestly, I don't care for the narrator either, everybody started to sound alike.

Soap Opera Resurrection Syndrome
People who sometimes enjoyed daytime dramas, or soap operas, used the term SORS or Soap Opera Resurection Syndrome, for characters who died but somehow reappeared healthy and hardy years later. Suspending all sense of reality and logic was part of the soap opera mystic. Favorite actors came back. Favorite couples were reunited. But who would have thought William Buckley was such a soap opera fan that he would use SORS to get one more turn from his master spy? I have enjoyed the Blackford Oakes series clear up to books 10 and 11. Buckley should have quit while he was ahead.

Bad Reading Voice
The book , story was good like the rest of the series with the exception of the reader. It was as if he was a high school sports announce,
Very harsh voice.

A bit too cold
First fiction I've read of Buckley. It's well written, intelligent and clever, but it lacks a pathos which ties you to the story. So, it's interesting more than engaging.
