The plot and pacing are highly reminiscent of The Day of The Jackal, though the story is not nearly as taut and compelling. Makes you kind of nostalgic for the Cold War, though. ( )

Excellent spy novel about a Soviet plot to destablise the west by simulating a nuclear accident in England caused by the US. The descriptions of the security service's efforts to get on the trail of those involved are very well done. There is genuine suspense at the end. The book is better than the film, which had a simplified plot line and unnecessarily changed some details. ( )

A spy thriller set in the Philby, Burgess and Maclean era of MI5.

Here, a thief happens to discover secret documents outlining a plot to get a very hard left pro-Soviet government elected in the United Kingdom.

With Philby involved, not just by your usual democracy, either, of course, so, fun and games for an MI5 agent who has been involved in investigating this far left sort of thing.

The title of the novel refers to a nuclear treaty.

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553251139, Paperback)

It is a time of political unrest in Great  Britain. And behind the Iron Curtain an insidious plot  is being hatched, a plan so incendiary that even  the KGB is ignorant of its  existence--Aurora, the sinister brainchild of two of the  world's most dangerous men: the general secretary  of the Soviet Union and master spy Kim  Philby.

The wheels are in motion, the pawns  are in place, and the countdown has begun toward  an "accident" that could change the fact  of British politics forever and trigger and  collapse of the Western alliance.

Only  British agent John Preston stand any chance of  breaching the conspiracy. Through plot and  counterplot, from bloody back streets to polished halls of  power both East and West, his desperate  investigation is relentlessly blocked by deceit, treachery,  and the most deadly enemy of  all...time.

Plan Aurora, hatched in a remote dacha in the forest outside Moscow, is a plan that in its spine-chilling ingenuity breaches the ultra-secret Fourth Protocol and turns the fears that shaped it into a living nightmare.
