What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
An astonishing discovery is made in the remote African republic of Zangaro, one which could change the course of a nation's history forever. But such a discovery cannot be kept secret for long and Sir James Manson will stop at nothing to protect this find. A ruthless and bloody-minded tycoon, Manson immediately hires an army of mercenaries and with this deadly crew behind him he sets out to topple the government and replace its dictator with a puppet president.
But news of the discovery has reached Russia - and suddenly Manson finds he no longer makes the rules in this power game. A game in which win or lose means life or death.
In this masterful thriller of international intrigue, Frederick Forsyth delivers a tense, brutal and always believable tale that will satisfy die-hard fans and newcomers alike.

3.0 5.0
My first time with this author and narrator - generally plenty of detail but drawn out - some tiny unexpected turns but not big enough on action for me. Lead character was not real enough
On the narrator I thought he was okay but I thought the book might have stood a bit of a better chance with a regional accentClaire C-T 2025-06-18
