Sad but true,
By "mazzok" (Trento, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fifth Horseman (Paperback)
I read the book a few months ago and it's deeply sad to find out how it foretold the future. A future in which danger lies not in ballistic attacks but terrorism.Simply told, almost 20 years ago the writers imagined the background and the dynamics that could lead to a disaster really similar to what happened yesterday. My simpathy to all USA people for the great disaster that stroke their country.

Yard Sale Find,
This review is from: The Fifth Horseman (Hardcover)
I paid 25 cents for this book and it was the best quarter I ever spent. This book grabs you at the beginning and does notlet go of you to well after you are done reading it. The subject matter is so topical that the 22 years from original press does not matter at all. Buy it used, find in in the library, or if you have money to burn buy it from a Zshop. You won't be disappointed.

I couldn't put the book down,
By PlanoTX (Plano, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fifth Horseman (Paperback)
This is a prototype Tom Clancy book before there were Tom Clancy books.I had bought The Fifth Horseman at an airport before a business trip. I read it on the flight for half an hour or so. Then it disappeared into the piles of non-essential materials. Four months later, the book resurfaced. (Obviously, the first few chapters hadn't made much of an impression.) It was a morning in June about ten o'clock, outdoors on a hammock, when I started the book once more. It was in my den, after midnight, when I finally read the last page of the book. What a story! A cliff hanger. Tremendous suspense. Extremely plausible. So good that I didn't read another novel for months because nothing else could compete with the experience The Fifth Horseman had provided. It was simply THAT good. Amazon.com says this book is now out-of-print. Don't let that stop you. Buy it at auction. Find it at your library. Listen to it on audiotape. If you like books of international intrigue, this is the definitive suspense story.
