The story beginning in book 5 comes to a conclusion at the soviet facility in Certain Blood. Before this, there is much that Track and and his allies must travel through and contend with, which makes up most of this adventure. The harsh elements and Russian soldiers dog their trail, providing a never ending danger for the journey, and as predicted, all the various groups meet up at the final compound. Lots of good action, and the side story of Baslovich's escape from his KGB life was really my favorite part of the book. The ending had some weird mind control stuff going on, which was kind of an interesting plot element, although there is a lot of stretching of believability regarding this, but then again there isn't much in the way of taking this series too seriously to begin with. Overall a very entertaining duology here, I had a lot of fun reading these.
