Paris in 1895: Alfred Dreyfus, a young Jewish officer, has just been convicted of treason, sentenced to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, and stripped of his rank in front of a baying crowd of 20,000. Among the witnesses to his humiliation is Georges Picquart, the ambitious, intellectual, recently promoted head of the counterespionage agency that Dreyfus had passed secrets to the Germans. At first, Picquart firmly believes in Dreyfus' guilt. But it is not long after Dreyfus is delivered to his desolate prison that Picquart stumbles on information that leads him to suspect that there is still a spy at large in the French military.

Ernst Grip, an agent of the Swedish security police, is sent to the Horn of Africa to find out. Once he’s on the ground, however, he quickly discovers he’s on his own. No one wants him snooping around - especially not the US Embassy’s CIA station.

For more than 40 years, Frederick Forsyth has been writing extraordinary real-world novels of intrigue, from the groundbreaking The Day of the Jackal to the prescient The Kill List. Whether writing about the murky world of arms dealers, the shadowy Nazi underground movement, or the intricacies of worldwide drug cartels, every plot has been chillingly plausible because every detail has been minutely researched.

Not for Me
I like a book where I live the action. This one tells you the action in a detached, matter of fact way. There is no climax, because there is no action. Even the twist at the end was not told in a way to engage the listener. It is a good premise, I just wish it were a better book.

The Cobra
Don't know if this was a failure of Forsyth or the reader. This was nothing more than background noise during my drive to and from work. Get the book from the library, read it, if it the story is the failure you've not wasted your money.

Pure Drivel
The story line is unimaginative. The ending is dissatisfying. Worse still, as one wades tediously through this book, the listener is assaulted by the author's political predilections.

Not Sure
I'm a Forsyth fan but I'm not sure what to say about this one. I don't know if it's the material or the narrator or both, but I'm not enjoying it. I'm 3 hours in and I don't care to finish.

Blah! Blah!
The reading was boring and dry. It was if he were reading a report not a novel. Forsyth could have done much better. The premise was very intriguing and had my mind thinking of all the possibilities. In reality the book was without suspense or a thrill. Even the ending was dull and "matter of fact"
