About this audiobook
The Cold War is over, and chaos is setting in. The new President of Russia is trying to create a new democratic regime. But there are strong elements within the country that are trying to stop him: the ruthless Russian Mafia, the right-wing nationalists, and even revanchist Czarists. Op-Center, the newly founded but highly successful crisis management team, begins a race against the clock and against the hardliners. Its members face an uphill battle. Their task is made more difficult by the discovery of a Russian counterpart to Op-Center-but this one is controlled by the same repressive hardliners. Two rival Op-Centers, virtual mirrors of each other, exist. But if this mirror cracks, it will be much more than seven years bad luck.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5SciFi from the 80s that makes the fatal error of calling men "men" and women "girls." As soon as an author does this, he has already lost at least one star of my reviews.
This is a story about colonists who work for a corporation that is developing for profit a planet that is rich in ores. A native Species of fauna is discovered that has a defense mechanism that makes them turn into whatever its antagonist' favorite object is. In this way they avoid being eaten. So what happens when this species meets a human? It will turn into the human's object of desire. Oh, the problems that arise with this development!
The characters in this book seem underdeveloped, which caused me to not feel invested in them. The personalities of the characters were somewhat developed, but the physical traits were left up to the readers' imagination. Hopefully, other books by this author are better for me.
