About this ebook

With more than 2 million copies in print, the Clifton Chronicles has taken #1 worldwide bestselling author Jeffrey Archer to a whole new level. And the saga continues with Mighter Than the Sword.

Bestselling novelist Harry Clifton's on a mission to free a fellow author who's imprisoned in Siberia-even if doing so puts Harry's own life, and life's work, in danger. Meanwhile, his wife Emma, chairman of Barrington Shipping, is facing the repercussions of an IRA bombing on the Buckingham. Some board members feel she should resign. Others will stop at nothing to ensure the Clifton family's fall from grace. In London, Harry and Emma's son, Sebastian, is quickly making a name for himself at Farthing's Bank. He's also just proposed to a beautiful young American, Samantha. But the despicable Adrian Sloane is only interested in one thing: Sebastian's ruin.

Sir Giles Barrington, now a minister of the Crown, looks set for even higher office-until a diplomatic failure in Berlin threatens his prospects. Once again it appears that Giles's political career is thrown off balance by none other than his old adversary, Major Alex Fisher. But who will win the election this time? And at what cost?

Ratings and reviews

I didn't even realize I had reached the end of the book. Kinda similar to the last one, the book ends in the middle of a paragraph with no closure and when I turned the page it just said the story continues in 2016. I couldnt be more irritated about having to wait at least another year to continue it. At this point I just don't want to bother with the series any more. At least the first three books in the series ended well, but this book is simply incomplete.

Just finished Mightier Than the Sword. Jeffery Archer is a skilled and masterful writer who becons you to keep reading. Great book, the sad part is I have to wait another year for the next book!

Great writing, but need to close out the series
