Middle part of the saga

Finally are Charlie Muffin with his wife along with child together. The end has a hook in itself, however, is not betrayed. I have all three parts of Red Star worried and am still impressed how complex Freemantle builds a plot and weaves. However, there are already sometimes question mark in terms of plausibility.
That Red Star is spread over three (books) is a bit much and only for Muffin fans tolerable.
