Enjoyed, ending was surprise.
Excellent read, be prepared to not wanting to put the book down once you've started reading. If you are interested in the drug battle between countries, cartels, gangs, and the agencies trying to stop the menace this is a great read. Forsyth is outstanding.
A bit slow in places, but the end is fantastic!!! Worth the read
Great read! Interesting concept for the plot. Lots of action and great characters, although not what you would expect for an action novel. Forsyth is an excellent writer and will not disappoint.
Paul Deveraux ran Special Ops for the CIA before they retired him for being too ruthless. The President of the United States needs someone to demolish the cocaine trade. Deveraux was the man. He said he could do it in two years, he needed two billion dollars and a letter from the President which gave him the assistance he needed from any branch of the government. The excitement started there. The book was extremely well-written. It grabbed you from the first page and maintained the excitement and kept you on the edge of your seat until the last page. GREAT book!
beautiful clean, gift like copy!
