Format:Kindle Edition
Archer's A Matter of Honor is, I think, one of the best thrillers out there, and one of my most riveting reads. I has almost everything that makes a thriller a book not to put down -- from a rich plot full of intrigues, timely revelations and breath-taking suspense; to characters that are colorful, rugged, vicious, smart and daring; to a setting that is far-reaching, complex and fascinating. The encompassing nature of this story brings to mind the story of Gavin in Triple Agent Double Cross. If you are looking for a full thriller, one that has adventure, murder, integrity, values and love, A Matter of Honor is the book to read.

Having read the last review i have to say that i'm a girl and i really enjoyed this book! Ok so it's not Jeffery Archer's best but this was the first one of his i ever read & i was certainly encouraged ater reading this to read more of his & i'm now a big Archer fan.
This book is very easy to read, good for a summer read maybe, nothing deep or heavy. Fast-paced and entertaining. Good fun.

Format:Paperback
The Soviet authorities have come to realise that a famous painting is only a copy, and that the original probably holds a document of the utmost importance to them.
At the same time, Adam Scott inherits a pitiful sum of money and a sealed letter from his father.
Soon the KGB and Adam hunt each other through Europe, wanting to possess the original painting and its contents. The KGB is ruthless from the start; Adam becomes ruthless as the KGB hurts him and those near and dear to him. Despite Adam's military background and MC, his ruthlessness is quite out of character with how he is portrayed initially and outside the action scenes.
While the general plot is intriguing (what if?) the characters are on the whole quite unbelievable, which makes the book too much of a boy's book - all action and no depth. Adam wastes little feeling on his dead girlfriend, and has no qualms about risking the lives of innocent bystanders. The Russians are quite the standard stereotype of KGB super-agents, near James Bond standard, but with no morals nor ideals.

Proof reading is rubbish
I am really enjoying the book, which is well up to the usual standard of Jeffrey Archer's books. But I am astounded by the really appalling proof-reading. Read more

Matter Of Honour
Pretty typical Archer fare - good solid read with some twists. Slightly showing it's age now but still very good value for money

great book
an excellent read. set in the cold war period, it describes how an ex-soldier tries to escape his hunters and how the hunter becomes the hunted. very action packed.
