Rating: Summary: This book is getting worst from one story to the other Review: This book has 4 different stories, in all of them appear Spy McCready as a super hero, the book will keep you interested in the stories but is not exactly what I expected from Forsyth.The first story has 4 stars. The second story has 5 stars. The third story has 3 stars. Don't waste your time with the fourth one.
Rating: Summary: NO his best , but still very good !!! Review: THis is , like all Forsith books a very good and enterteiment book . I really enjoyed reading THe Deceiver although he has better books . Of course it's always worth to read a Forsyth !!! P.S.: Sorry by the grammar mistakes , english is not my best .
Rating: Summary: Those Were The Days My Friends! Review: This novel is divided into four stories each involving British super-sleuth Sam McCready and his operations during the last years of the Cold War From London to Berlin and Washington DC to the Mediterranean to the Caribbean we are exposed to the inner working of the British Secret Services which seems to be Forsyth's field of specialty Wherever we go action and intrigue follow us And we get to meet villains as diverse as East German STASI Secret Police , IRA terrorists , Libyan Mukhabbarat (Gadaffi's brutal Gestapo-like secret police) and Caribbean gangsters McCready is not the only hero in the book .much of it focuses on the work of other characters like the tragic end of a West German secret serviceman and a former SAS man turned reclusive author that Mc Cready manages to recruit for a high risk operation The book is dedicated to all who worked and sacrificed so that the West could win the Cold War There is always something nostalgic about remembering the Cold War and a very important message therein : During those days we knew who our enemies where before political correctness corrupted our values and blurred the difference between good and evil .Now it is fashionable to establish good relationships with Cuba and Red China and to make intellectually dishonest dictinctions between different terrorist groups .As Forsyth writes in his forward :Those were the days , my friends
