Is Al-Qa'eda about to attack London? Who is the traitor in Britain, manipulating his opponents mercilessly? Time has run out. This Tweed does know. But what is the target? When and where will the attack be launched? Panic grips Whitehall and Tweed is road-blocked by bureaucrats at every turn. Unless Tweed's team track the mass killers, thousands of Londoners will be annihilated. Tweed brings in the SAS. The climax - along the Thames and London's most famous bridges - is shattering.

Promising story turned into a boring book,
By NoWireHangers (Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cell (Paperback)
Apparently, the wife of the minister of security has gone missing near some mysterious village, Carpford. Tweed and his people investigate the disappearance, against the wishes of the minister. The town is full of mysterious people, and somehow, Tweed and his people see a connection between this and the arrival of Muslim terrorists in England (they're wearing turbans; they must be terrorists). Al Qaeda is planning an attack on London, and Tweed must stop it.
"The Cell" should have been a good suspense novel/political thriller, but it's not. It just goes from one uninteresting scene to the next. Tweed and his people talk about the terrosit threat, they visit Carpford. They go back to headquarter. Back to Carpford. Paula Grey and some Belgian agent goes to Italy to talk to some person. They go back to Carpford. More people disappear. And so on and so on without anything interesting happening. It gets boring pretty quickly. You'll be better off reading something else. Not recommended.

Al Quada vs. Tweed,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cell (Paperback)
Yes, fans, there is a Holmbury St. Mary (southeast of London on the edge of the moors of Dartmoor). So much for the disclaimer about the "principle of pure invention". One of the fun things about Forbes is his accurate and well-drawn portraits of real landscapes, whether urban cityscapes or the wilder options in the UK and Europe. He's also well apart from the usual run of thrillers, preferring an understated, tweedy sort of narrative style. In The Cell, Tweed and all the usual characters begin as crime solvers and run afoul of Al Quada, to the detriment of a London bridge but ultimate victory over the terrorists. Read it for fun, but don't expect Clancy.
