## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great read
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2017*

Classic Forsyth and a great read.It is basically four cracking novellas served up in a somewhat contrived wrapper.Sam McCready, for decades an unconventional senior SIS officer and leading Cold War warrior is, at the end of the Cold War, facing being pushed out the door, because he has ruffled too many senior feathers and to make way for a younger, more compliant and controllable generation; his departure is pretty much a done deal but, to be seen to comply with process, he is granted a review hearing, at which four of his cases are examined.The first is a cross border, behind the Iron Curtain operation, which goes pear shaped and is rescued by Sam.The second is about two defectors with contradictory information and the effort to determine which is real and which is fake.The third is about an attempt by the Gaddafi regime in Libya to supply arms to the IRA.The fourth is a bit of a romp, about dodgy doings on a tiny British territory in the Caribbean.And all four are great, fast moving page turners.The standard of scanning / proof reading / copy editing is fairly good for an eBook but the third tale repeatedly, consistently and annoyingly refers to two places in Malta called Sliena and Luga - should be Sliema and Luqa.

    If you like "guessing" who the " baddie" might be
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2017*

If you like "guessing" who the " baddie" might be, this is a must read. For some unknown reason, having read Frederick Forsythe's blockbusters' " Day of the Jackal",  "Dogs of War" etc. many years' ago, I have moved on to other writers such as , John Grisham, David Baldachi & Michael Connolly but this book has inspired me to catch up with unread books by Frederick Forsythe & they are making extremely worthwhile reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A gripping story
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2018*

Well really several stories because of the way Forsyth has written the book. I don't usually like to read if I haven't got an hour or so to spare but this book I picked whenever I had a minute. This is an absolutely absorbing book, a must read for any thriller/spy/detective fans.
