5.0 out of 5 stars The best terrorist thriller in ages, June 16, 2000

This review is from: Deadlock (Paperback)

....The one main thing that surprised me about this is how well it's dated. I was wondering as I read it "when was it published" but it could have been released this week, and you wouldn't be able to tell when it was written.

As always, the atmosphere is amazing. Forbes has done a brilliant job of capturing the areas visited in the book, and the various peculiarities of the differant nations. There was a definite feeling of suspense, and I found it very hard to put the book down, sacrificing a lot of sleep getting through it!

In sum, I think it is a brillaint book, and if you can track down a copy, it is well worth it. This is far greater than any other terrorist thrillers out there at the moment.

This review is from: Deadlock (Paperback)

Colin Forbes's favourite spies, England's finest, Tweed, Paula Grey(in her debut field assignment) and international foreign correspondent Bob Newman are hot on the trail of a former Russian strategic warfare planner who has in his possession Triton Three, the most powerful non-nuclear explosive in the world. What is his target? Who is the mysterious sniper called The Monk and whose side is he really on? The trail leads Tweed and co. to Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and a showdown at Rotterdam. The locations are once again well-researched, Forbes always visits them to get a good atmosphere and fire up his imagination! The action as well never stops, and the storytelling and prose is kept simple so it will appeal to a wide variety of readers. Which, along with memorable characters, shows why he is extremely popular. If you can track down a copy of DEADLOCK, get it - it is one of the best terrorist thrillers ever!
