Good spy thriller. Takes place in Siberia and I got chilled in more than one way while reading it.

Doesn't meet the breathlessly hyped reviews on the dust cover - too long, scattershot & ultimately unsatisfying. Any of the James Bond stories would be more enjoyable. Bill BIschoff

Gripping thriller. Excellent writing, plot and suspense. Old is gold.

Lionel Davidson may have written this late in his career but this may be his best novel. As usual you are misled through a maze of detail that seem unrelated to the plot but wait for it, it's coming. A big book of adventure that keeps building with the final third requiring a straight through read. Never heard of the author before reading a magazine that mentioned his books and glad I bought it. So were the people who borrowed my copy.

This story takes you right inside the head of the main character. Every action he takes as he progresses along his mission is explained but not to the point of being laborious. I read it some years ago, then read it again some months ago & then realised I had missed out on the end for some reason. The last part is mind blowing......I did not have dry eyes by the time I finished! There is a film out or coming out I believe, but I can not understand how this book could be recreated on the screen. Read it before you see the film!! ENJOY!
