REVIEWS OF THE RUSSIAN CONSPARICIES

“Russian Conspiracies is more than just another novel of intrigue. Indeed it is a story embedded in a real-world framework, written by an individual with inside knowledge of the inner workings of its intriguing plot. Bob Miller has fabricated an exciting tale of real world mystery and intrigue that will keep readers awake all night turning pages.”  Dennis Chamberland, Ph.D, Retired NASA Scientist, Knights Templar.

 “Attention to detail is indicative of Miller’s years of personal and professional experience behind the scenes in the Mediterranean and Middle East. His imagery of places and events skillfully melds his own life experience, travels and observations with a wealth of dedicated research to put in place a chilling novel of time, place and adventure. Bob’s dedicated descriptions of people places and events brought back my own vivid recollections of elements with which I am personally aware in my own career. These memories combine to invest volumes of authenticity.” William Bale, Colonel, USAF (Retired). 32 Years with Air Force HUMINT Intelligence Service.

 “Another action-packed page turner that will keep readers riveted from page one to the last. Masterfully told this multi-layered plot makes the book hard to put down and will call for midnight oil. Bob Miller’s books get more captivating with each new thriller, and he is now rivalling the best names in the field of espionage and conspiracy.” George Rossback. International journalist, historian, writer. Worpswede, Gemany.

 “Miller’s signature writing style is fully developed in The Russian Conspiracies. Somehow he is able to transpose Joseph Stalin’s winter night’s sense of “shadows of eternity” and “chills of death”  44 years ago, into today’s glaring midday Mideast desert sun and then back again to Moscow, all the while keeping the shadows and chills center in the reader’ mind.” Michael Badzioc, Ph.D., Human Genetics, Houston, Texas.
