A really compelling introduction to the story set against a factual and equally compelling backdrop, and you're thinking this has all the makings of your favorite novel of all time, and then after you're finished, waiting for the second installment to magically appear, you realize it wasn't really that good at all. See: Icon. See: The Odessa File. I'm not reading another Forsyth until he learns how to finish a story. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/25183?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
