Another of Archer's book I could not put down, he is gifted with the ability of great story telling. True to the book's title you see that there is no Honor Among Thieves. Granted this is fiction but some of the plot flirted with be downright ridiculous, that I could do without. Aside from that I found the book really entertaining and I enjoyed reading it.

It's a good thriller, but I have read better, and there are definitely way better thriller novels. I just picked to read Jeffrey archer. The writing was simple and imaginative but with very few twists. Its feels like a Nicholas cage movie at times.

If I were to pick out one interesting observation that I have made of Jeffrey Archer over the years, it would be his undoubtably good sense in crafting entertainers. Archer never bothers with creating incredibly detailed characters or plot lines that challenge your intellect. He goes in for racy and swashbuckling thrill rides which begin and end with a lot of pomp & splendor.
If memory serves me right, Archer was one of the first authors whom I read after graduating from Hardy Boys when I was a child. I have been through quite a few of his books & it had been a while since I tried him out. I am glad I did pick up this one. There are no surprises and nothing to make you sit back & think. Yes, the good guys win over the evil guys. Yes, the good guys are too good to be true & the evil guys undoubtedly stink. Yes, your protagonist who is said to be untested in the field performs much better than a field commander under pressure and so forth. But it isn't fair to this book if I were to dissect it & show you its innards in the light of logic for the simple reason that this was not what was expected of this book.
A lot of things have changed in the world of now than it was in the world of this tale. Giants have fallen & far more sinister threats have since then raised their heads but it still was a pretty interesting tale. Good old Archer at his best !

Very original, and a page-turner, as usual with Archer's books.
