The Fourth Protocol

Good story, but with a very slow start which goes into far too much detail about the political system in the UK, the flow of the story was lost as a result. There were a couple of times I nearly stopped listening. That said I'm glad I did not and listed to the end, it was enjoyable.

Forsyth builds his story piece by piece gradually getting more and more interesting as the reader continues to become enthralled with the characters and the plot. The reader gradually discover what the diabolical plan is and then after you figure it out, you have no idea how they are going to stop it. Then, when you think you have it all sorted out, he throws you a little twist at the very end, which compliments his characters and leaves you with a clever smile on your face. I loved it, but I love almost all he does. Good stuff.

I like Forsyth very much and found this to be very good. I preferred the Jackal and Odessa File more, but I was not disappointed

This is an intelligent story about intelligence. A classic.

The plot moved along nicely with no fluff to fill the pages.

David Rintoui has a great voice and uses it well. This is the first book I heard him read but it won't be the last.

Beautifully written, as always by Frederick Forsyth, as well as nail-bitingly exciting. What more can a reader ask?

The devil is in the detail and Forsyth delivers with just the right amount of knowledge and fiction. A fun read, or listen to.

All the heads of departments either Russian or British are done so well.

It's many hours, but if I was on a long haul flight and could not sleep, this is the book to listen to.

I listen to the ODESSA File and this one is even better. Can't wait to listen to The Day of The Jackal. David Rintoul is excellent in his performance and did the Scottish accents well.

Well done Frederick Forsyth. What we have come to expect a great plot, well drawn and believable characters , a long book but enrtertaining in it's entirety. Superb naration that compliments the book in every way
