The Fall of Moscow Station was phenomenal! Thanks for that! The intrigue and dangerosity felt like what I was accustomed to expecting from, say, the context of Berlin 1944-45, so it was a real eye-opener to that level of angst in your Moscow story. So, was that intensity real to life, or did you really crank it up a whole lot for dramatic tension?

In most cases, I can respond to someone saying, "that's unrealistic" with, "that actually happened" or "that's not nearly as crazy as [real historical event X]."

That said, I tried to make the tension level in Moscow Station more like that felt during the height of the Cold War, as opposed to what's really happening today. (less)

Quotes by Mark E. Henshaw (?)

“Evolution, or God depending on your preference, has left us with brains that latch on to the first explanation that seems to fit the facts and our own mind-sets and biases when we face a puzzle. Even smart analysts develop shallow, comfortable mental ruts. To get them out, you have to make them uncomfortable, make them consider new ideas, including some that they might not like.”
― Mark E. Henshaw, Red Cell

“A military exists to kill the enemy. When it is used to keep order among its own people, the people become the enemy.”

“Drink more vodka and buy a good hat, he was told. Even an American could get through a Russian winter with one of the latter and enough of the former.”
