5.0 out of 5 stars
Colin Forbes's very best!,
By Mr N Forbes-warren "author of RESURGENCE and ... (Newport, South Wales, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Fury (Hardcover)
Yes, they're back again! It's Britain's finest secret agents Tweed, Paula Grey and Bob Newman(famous international correspondent) who are this time on the trail of a billionaire tycoon called Gabriel March Walvis, who plans to flood Europe with Project Tidal Wave. And before you think of natural disasters, read on further, it's not quite as predictable as that! The trail takes Tweed and his merry men(and women)from southern England to Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic where they are confronted with a motley crew of female assassins. Not only that, Philip Cardon, whose wife dies in hospital at the start of the book, is also on Walvis's trail out for revenge. And Britain's ace sniper Marler can get any arms he wants at a price to help out agents along, of course! This is an action-packed, dramatic thriller with well-described locations and sudden and unexpected twists at every available opportunity. The narrative does contain some amusing dialogue, for instance:(p.186: 'I've ordered several bottles of champagne,' Tweed said casually. 'Champers! Goody-goody,' Paula enthused. Somehow I don't think people talk like that these days! Also: 'A nasty little man pretending to be a police officer goes round the reception desks of all the hotels. His identity card must be forged. Par for the course.' Someone who likes to state the obvious! But these unintentionally funny lines liven Forbes's books up no end. Highly recommended.
