From Publishers Weekly

Newly minted CIA and Mossad agents work to undo damage wrought by a Mafia/Iraqi conspiracy in English author Archer's ( As the Crow Flies ; Kane and Abel ) witty, action-filled--if improbable--thriller. Some readers, we suppose, might find quite plausible the idea that the mob has arranged for a ringer to impersonate President Clinton during his first months in office. But here the actor who plays Clinton assumes the role only long enough to swipe the Declaration of Independence. The chase is on as mobsters spirit the manuscript-turned-macguffin off to Iraq, where Saddam has plans to barbeque it for the Fourth of July, live on CNN. Meanwhile, Yale Law professor Scott Bradley goes undercover for the CIA, tracking lovely young Mossad operative Hannah Kopec, likewise on assignment in Paris. It's only a matter of time before the two agents are caught up in each other's arms and, of course, in the race to recapture the Declaration. Beyond the thrills and surprises that Archer's masterful narrative provides, readers will remain aware of the extreme unlikelihood that a scam such as Saddam's could succeed, and that two such neophytes would be thrown in to stop it. This deficit in verisimilitude doesn't detract too much from the novel's entertainment value, however, and some will be amused that Archer himself good-naturedly joins in the criticism by ironically making the accuracy of the spelling of "Brittish" (sic) in the Declaration and its copies central to his plot. 50,000 first printing; major ad/promo; author tour.

3.0étoiles sur 5 International intrigue, lots of action in post-Gulf War Iraq, Aoû 11 2003
Par Gerald M. Bull "Jerry Bull" (Fairview, TN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Honor Among Thieves (Mass Market Paperback)
This was our first exposure to Jeff Archer, who's skill with complex international plot development reminds one a little of Tom Clancy without the high tech stuff. The main theme is that shortly after Clinton replaces Bush, Saddam Hussein pays $100M to a mob-related group to steal the American Declaration of Independence. A Yale professor (and our hero) Scott Bradley, gets his desire for a field assignment with the CIA to get it back. Thereafter, most of the action is in Iraq, and before it's over Bradley teams up with an Israeli female spook (and falls in love while he's at it!), as well as some other American diehards from the CIA, who build a complex plan to steal back the precious parchment and avoid Hussein's planned humiliation of a Fourth of July burning on national TV. Does he succeed in time?

We suspect Archer stayed up nights scheming his double and triple crosses -- we totally lost track of the real document long before the whole story unfolded. Much of the horror of Suddam's regime is spelled out in gory detail, and not all the good guys escape horrid fates. Meanwhile, some decent Iraqi people risk their lives to help the American's cause.

Modest suspense, a few characters we wanted to win, good against evil, and even some humor along the way kept us entertained throughout. Archer's writing may not captivate everyone, but we were impressed enough to try another of his stories some day. This one trips the meter at "good but not great"!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Top-of-the-line action, Sep 1 2002
Par Vijay Krishna (Chennai, TN, India) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Honor Among Thieves (Mass Market Paperback)
If there is one Archer book that can be called his best, it must be Kane & Abel. But if asked for another, then it must be this. Honor Among Thieves is a true international thriller. No doubt, it became an instant international bestseller.

Saddam Hussain pays a hundred million dollars to a New York businessman to arrange for the stealing of the Declaration of Independence from the National Archives is Washington DC. At the same time, a Mossad team is set up to assassinate Saddam. How the Declaration gets stolen and how it is restored is the plot of the story.

So much for the plot, but many authors would have found it tough to convert that into a good, readable book. Archer belongs to a class of his own, and one will find that the action in this book is gripping - so much that one will be compelled to finish this book in one sitting, which was the case with me!

A truly great book!
