Mmmm....99% extremely plausible, current with incredibly detailed insider knowledge of the inner workings and terminology of the anti terrorist government department's that hunt them down. Unusually for Frederick Forsyth a few very conspicuous glitches in the plot. Fails a credible explanation of how Preacher knew true identity of the Swedish naval cadet, alludes to 'his friend in London' the fruit importer, but no explanation of how he knew, it was only revealed to the people in the lawyers office.

After reading different novels by Frederick forsyth, this one was definitely a let down. Writer tried to create suspense but seems to be loosing his touch. One of his first novel I read was the day of the jackal and became his fan. Can't say sme for this book though.

This otherwise excellent book is marred by the opening and the epilogue, which reads more like a rough draft than anything else, just listing plot points with very little finesse and finish. Having gotten past that, it was a good read.
