Wow! A first rate espionage thriller. The level of detail, the blend of fact and fiction and the larger than life characters make "Max" a great, fun read. I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to any fans of the genre.

I rarely take the time to write reviews or to comment on fiction, however, I felt that I had to this one time. I picked up a copy of MAX to read while on holiday and finished it in 2 days. It was non-stop excitement and fun. I enjoyed stumbling upon subtle nuggets of reality having read Vengeance by George Jonas and having watched Sword of Gideon years ago. There are direct parallels to be found between all three stories if one takes the time to explore. MAX is the perfect blend between fiction and non-fiction considering the background of the author and the other real-life stories attributed to him. Definitely worth the read.

I bought this book on a whim knowing nothing about Robert Maxwell whom the story is based. The author really knows his stuff. I could not put it down, a thrilling read.
I loved the Mossad angle. Don't be put off by the cover which is reminiscent of many a badly written action/thriller.

This book was extremely exciting and entertaining. The mix of controversy and the subtle way the author infused his insider knowledge of the case and intelligence matters left me with the feeling that I was reading more than just a work of fiction. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a fast-paced, well-written thriller.
