It's hard to get too excited about a book when you know the final outcome. This book about plots by both Japan and Russia to steal the secrets and uranium of the atomic bombs that ended WWII is facinating if anticlimatic. The characters are not particularly well developed but the plot lines are a tangled web which keeps you hooked reading to the end even when you know the ending.
