From Publishers Weekly

Author of seven previous espionage novels, including Ferret, Markstein may be ready to break out of the pack with this intelligently written thriller. Intricately constructed and complex, it is far different from the standard spy-vs.-spy shootout. Rather than focusing on a single plot, the narrative weaves a collection of threads tightly together: a Russian actor defects; a fanatical U.S. Army colonel builds a secret strike force with nuclear capability; an assassin lurks in London; a KGB agent sets up the defection of his actress lover; a pirate radio station beams inciting messages to the Soviet Union. These incidents are all gambits in a taut game of chess played by both East and West, the outcome of which is not precisely clear. Serious readers of espionage fiction who prize mood and strategy will find this a provocative read.

From Library Journal

A Russian actor defects in London, a British intelligence agent is murdered in Germany, and a pirate radio station spreds vicious rumors across Russia. Seemingly unrelated events that erupt in Moscow, West Germany, and London gradually merge into a major threat to world peace. Only British intelligence specialist Colin Rathbone sees the potential for disaster and scrambles to stave off the inevitable. In his latest spy thriller, British author Markstein weaves several fascinating sub-plots into a thoroughly realistic tale of espionage, jam-packed with some of the most frighteningly believable and refreshingly entertaining characters in print. Soul Hunters is Markstein's best effort to date. Enthusiastically recommended for every popular fiction collection. Brian Alley, Sangamon State Univ. Lib., Springfield, Ill.
