What could have been a ripping tale about an African coup d'etat is spoiled by an amateurish mistake: The author is in love with his hero and can't bear to put him into any truly tight spot. Auctorial providence intervenes as routinely as in the vita of a medieval saint. Then, after the predestined victory, we are treated to a bathetic ending. I didn't mind reading this book but have never felt an impulse to pick up anything else by Mr. Forsyth. (  ) TomVeal | May 11, 2009 |  This is a good yarn about mercenary participation in other peoples' wars. Read Forsyth's "The Biafra Story" first. Fiction is always close to the truth. (  ) gmillar | Apr 11, 2007 | People with no reason to worry about continued living can make very bad opponents, as those who go up against Cat, the protagonist in this mercenary tale, discover. Cat is tasked with putting together a mercenary operation in the pursuit of what? Lots and lots and lots of wealth, as it turns out. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2006/11...
