5.0�toiles sur 5 SIMPLY AMAZING, Avril 23 2004

Par	Munesh Gupta (India) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: The Devil's Alternative (Hardcover)

This is one of the best books i've ever read. It simply surpasses the class which was shown by foresyth in 'The Day of the Jackal' and 'The Odessa File'. Slow to start with, this gets exciting with every page. I would say one hasn't read the book till he has read the last page. The amount of research on diffent topics, geography and espionage world put by foresyth is simply amazing. The Climax is mind boggling. A must read for all espionage literature fans

5.0�toiles sur 5 Great Author, Great Story, Avril 7 2002

Par	John G. Hilliard (Toronto Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Another solid job by this author who I have always liked. This was another of his fast paced, easy to read stories with a good long story. I love the detail of the USSR government, you really feel like it in a non-fiction book at times. He has always used a lot of good factual details to make his books solid. Like the work of all good authors, you really grow to know the characters, like some and hate some - they have solid reasons for doing what they are doing in the book. There is a lot going on but the way he writes it you do not have any problems following the action. A great book that is well worth the time.

5.0�toiles sur 5 full of action and interesting twists, F�v 16 2002

Par	Haseeb (Tempe, AZ United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

It's the early eighties and group of radical Ukranian nationalists have a debt to settle as The Soviet Union is facing a possible famine. After a Ukranian nationalist is found barely alive floating in the black sea, the stage is set for a plot which involves numerous european countries as well as the US and Israel.

The character development in this novel is excellent. Frederick Forsyth has a way of bringing out the personalities of the main characters very well. His knowledge of geography really shows that he does his research before he writes. I like the way the book goes from one country to another carefully discribing what is going on but not always telling the reader how it's related to the plot until later. There are quite a few surprising moments which keep your attention. There are points were you may think the story is going nowhere and then there is an abrupt change of pace with no warning.

It is books like this that can turn one into an avid reader of espionage novels.
