I doubt Mr. Hogan dreamed,in 1987, that by 2000 the Soviet Union would be gone.

So this book tells a tale of the ongoing cold war in the mid 21st century which has expanded the battleground into space. I am a science fiction fan born in the early 50's and can well remember the cold war. That actually made this book entertaining for me and brought back the concerns and fears of the mid 20th century... almost commically.

"Endgame Enigma" is a really good book. It is adventure, science fiction, politics, and suspense all rolled into one and told from the perspective of the mid 20th century time frame. For younger readers it could almost be a history text and for the older generation it is an entertaining and thought provoking read.

I was sure I had it figured out up... right up until the last 50 pages or so. The end is a real kicker which hits you out of left field and is one of the most ambitious plot twists I heve ever read.

Endgame Enigma is a really good read.
