Forsyth's story is not just about adventure and intrigue, although they are significant. He is still angry about the British role (the government and the BBC) in the Nigerian civil war of the late 60s, a conflict I knew little about before starting the book. He has something to tell us about the i...

I was hooked from the first paragraph, and I would've kept turning the pages, but I had to take a...
Książka przeszła przez wszystkie przypadłości gnębiące Albatrosa. Zmianę tytułu (dwa razy), zmianę okładki (2 razy) i zmianę daty wydania (pierwotnie było 2013). Żeby jeszcze stopniować napięcie, strasznie reklamowana jako wielki powrót mistrza thrillera szpiegowskiego. Tyle tylko, z tego co wiem to...
