4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting action adventure read, 4 Sep 1999
By A Customer
The plot hinges around the idea of stealth weapons.The action is fast moving and a great read, but what I really love about all C.F's books is the predictability and stupidity of the main characters. They are absolutely wonderful !!They simply cannot exist without plenty of cups of coffee, booze, sandwiches and visits to hotels/restaurants, in between narrowly escaping death !They also inevitably try to 'draw their enemies into the open' by exposing themselves to attack, but never seem to have a coherent plan to get rid of them until the end of the book Colin Forbe's books, however, are a constant source of amusement to me. I can't wait for the next daft situation and I love the characters' reactions. The books, including this one, are super, relaxing escapist stuff. Their predictability is as comforting as putting on an old cardi.

By A Customer
Colin Forbes at his best again. You can not put this book down once you start reading! This man has talent, he is a natural story teller. You will not waste your money buying this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Storyline, plodding narrative, 15 April 2008
By Mr. Jamie M. Hirst (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The premise and storyline of this book are excellent, however as with a lot of Colins later books there is more description of the roads and places that the charachters are rather than what the charachters are doing. It is refreshing to note for regular Forbes fans though that the team splits up more and have their own storylines.

1.0 out of 5 stars definitely the worst book I have ever read
I found a second hand copy at a jumble sale and read "by stealth" in less than a day. I found it the most implausible, least involving and most direly written thriller I have... Read more

Wow. Because of this book I am slowly but surely making my way through everything else he has written. Loved it!
