Excellent thriller, but again what else can be expected from Mr. Forsyth.
What I like about other Forsyth's is present here too - author did research on subject(s) he is writing about.
Excellent thriller, highly recommended.

My rating should be 4. But second part of book (after S.Kormak's death) is so trite...
Like all the best Forsyth novels, the first hundred pages or so are nothing but dudes sitting around reading reports and talking about international politics. And after that it's mostly just detailed explanations about the different subsections within British intelligence agencies. It's wonderful
Frederick Forsyth novels were a familiar fixture in our household when I was growing up, as both my parents loved his work. He was amongst the first ‘adult’ reads that I was drawn to at the time. So, my love affair with his books began, and over the years I have read everything he’s written- keeping up with any new release/s.
As my mother has been in and out of hospital quite a lot over the past year and a half, I am keeping her supplied with books to read, and buddy reading them with her, or reading them to her when she isn’t well enough to read for herself. We have gotten through quite a lot of books in this time and it has been wonderful to discuss each one with her as we read/finish. It has been a great bonding experience for us, and Mr. Forsyth is our current author of choice- and we have both really enjoyed revisiting all his books, again.
Mr. Forsyth has a great knack for writing wonderfully suspenseful and exciting read, there is always great tension, action, drama, some danger, intrigue, and lots more to hold your attention. I can always count on him to deliver an intriguing read.

My least-favorite Forsyth novel. The premise is preposterous and the characters are flat and uninteresting, and mostly overdone thriller stereotypes.
