well worth a listen

My second Forsyth book following the day of the Jackal and I wasn't disappointed. The story is well written and well told by David Rintoul.

I really enjoyed that!!

Really enjoyed the book and it’s excellent plot. Although necessary to the storyline, the Russian analysis of the British Labour Party went on to long and in to much detail.
Otherwise an excellent book which I would highly recommend. Very enjoyable. Excellent narration.
Thank you.

Like most Forsyth, be patient and attentive

The book begins very slowly, and then builds to a dramatic and thoughtful climax, with a real twist at the end. Enjoy.

Fascinating spy genre but....

Well developed plot but difficult to follow at times. Characters very believable. Recommended if one likes intricate, very detailed plot and storyline.

Excellent. Exciting.

Too thick on British procedural details near the middle, but brilliant otherwise. Pacing picked up considerably in the second half.

Top notch cold war thriller.

Still as enjoyable as the first time I read it.

Voice acting is first class, and the (too rare) effort in pronouncing all names properly is a credit to the professionalism of the team.

Fourth protocol

I have read(listened)!this novel over and over. Loved it every time! Forsyth is a truly gifted story teller! Thank you, Mr Forsyth!

Good story, too much detail in some areas

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.

Cold War Thriller

Rogue elements in the Politburo seek to destabilize Great Britain and let the Americans take the blame. Forsyth is in top form here making the far-fetched come off as perfectly plausible. A great read.

Good story, frustrating performance

While the reader/narrator does a very good job dramatizing the story, loswering his soaking level to a whisper is immensely frustrating for those of us who listen in the car. His volume variation makes listening very difficult. He's either too quiet or too loud. when one raises the volume in order to hear his whispering, often before one can react, the reader/narrator increases his volume such that it is painful.
