Publisher's summary

Plan Aurora, hatched in a remote dacha in the forest outside Moscow and initiated with relentless brilliance and skill, is a plan within a plan that, in its spine-chilling ingenuity, breaches the ultra-secret Fourth Protocol and turns the fears that shaped it into a living nightmare. A crack Soviet agent, placed under cover in a quiet English country town, begins to assemble a jigsaw of devastation. MI5 investigator John Preston, working against the most urgent of deadlines, leads an operation to prevent the act of murderous destruction aimed at tumbling Britain into revolution...

Realism!

Super impressed by the real world style of Forsyth! No lone ranger heroics in this book... Its like it might really have happened.

Forsyth is the best!!!

Started off slow but you are rewarded bountifully. The plot is masterfully crafted like none other can weave it. Looking forward to more books from Forsyth

Great read

I really enjoyed the book incredible story incredible imagination. Something like this could really happen. This book makes you really think about this type of stuff.

Very good

Very good characters, dialogue and plot. My knowledge of British English greatly increased! Like others have said, the detail of British politics was a bit much, plot as well, BUT I am glad I stuck with it. David Rintoul did an excellent job…

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.

Rivetting

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

Forsyth at his best

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

One of the best book I read.

My favorite writers include Tolstoy, Conrad, Edna O'Brian, Hemingway, Iris Murdoch, and Philip Roth (whose talent must have sprang full blown from Conrad's head) and then Thom Jones (whose stories Audible does not provide sadly). BUT THE FOURTH PROTOCOL equals the finest work of these writers upon whom the literary mandarins (to borrow one of his words) have singled out for the pantheon of the greats. Read it now. A word about Thom Jones. His first book of short stories won the National Book Award, but they should not be discounted on that ground. They will cut your soul to pieces and leave you the better for it. Profane, focused often on the futility, but ecstasy of military combat, of war, his stories put Schopenhauer into flesh and blood. They will also balm the soul. He wrote so brilliantly in spite of suffering from a debilitating severe seizure disorder, depression, and physical disabilities. He died before he could write a fourth volume of short stories (and it is rumored a novel). The Fourth Protocol more than holds its own. David Rintoul, like George Guidal, and John Lee make any story better.

Russians plans plant an A Bomb in the UK~ 4 STARS

PLOT: Elaborate Russian Plan to set off an A Bomb in Britain.

Russians are slowing shipping parts for an A Bomb into Britain. Their plan is detonate the device next to an American Air Base and let them cause a "Split' in Nato as part of the fall out of the detonation.
John Preston is part of MI5 and they come across a part of an A Bomb. They piece together a plot to "build" an A Bomb. This is a very good book is moves along and we like the Hero John Preston who is both methodical and intelligent. Added to the drama is the Philby Connection who is a British Traitor living in Russia. Very Good audio and the reader is excellent.
