Title: Riding prior fame to write a steaming pile
Review: I have enjoyed many of Forsyth's prior books, but this one was terrible. The finale is worse than I could have imagined, making me wonder why I wasted time reading the book at all. It's not even really clear what the finale is, except that it's over in a flash. If fact it becomes entirely clear that the author must have envisioned a type of terrorist attack and then scrambled to come up with an explanation how that attact might be thwarted and why his hero was there at the right place and the right time; although there is no explanation why the terrorists themselves actually need the hero (in disguise) on their team at all, except that Bin Laden wants him on the team. Um okay, for what? He add NOTHING to the cadre of criminals leading this attack. C'mon, Forsyth, are you kidding me?
Is the review positive or negative?
