Wrong language
I received the right book but in the wrong language. I talked to the seller and they agreed to a refund but they did not have the correct language in stock in order to exchange the book. Due to the price of the book it's not convenient to return it so I decided to keep it but I don't think I'll buy from them again. ... Read more

The Masters Last Masterpiece
It saddens me to know (other reviews) that this is Fredrick Forsyth's last book. One of his best indeed. He has been an expert at cold war fictions and ICON is also on a East vs West story line. However it is remarkable theway he has put the story into todays context. We will really miss thismaster story tellers works in the future.

The Master's Final Stroke
In another example of his genius, in his last novel (Source : BBC World), Fedrick Forsyth has created a monster of a thriller of no mean proportions. The story starts off with the death of the President of Russia and the installment of a caretaker President who calls fresh elections. A former Soviet-era engineer with a gift of speech is one of the candidates and a cinch to win. However, his party has a secret manifesto, a black manifesto. A manifesto whoose objective is to cripple all of Russia's neighbours and establish a dictatorship even more powerful and renegade than the old Soviet Union. But, somehow by lax of security, even though the head of security is a former KGB colnel, the manifesto falls into the hands of a US diplomat. Alarms are immediatly raised, and a secret commitee is formed to discredit the candidate. A retired top - class agent is sent in a MI5 cum CIA operation. His misson? TO direct all ethinic minorities, the Islamic Mafia, the military, the Jewish businessmen, the Anti-Drug and Anti-Terrorist Squad and the Church of Russia against a advisary which would cause their mass slaughter. However, there is one trick still up the KGB colnel's sleeve - The Mafia, His own Balck Gaurd and 'Coup d'Êtat'.In future years this bestseller is sure to become a collector's item, not because of the fact that the author has declared it to be his final book but because of its sheer intense action and drama.

Forsythe is on top of his game!
Once again Forsythe has taken historical events and true characters and interwoven them into a compelling fiction thriller.His ability to take the poltical structure of Russia and create a scenerio that is both easy to follow and hard to put down is uncanny.It is hard to rate this story his best since so many are so good, however it is without a doubt right at the top. The story centers around the future of Russian politics in the aftermath of a failed democraticfree market economy.One leader seeks to gain prominence by using the failure to his own advancement.However his true beliefs are found in a document known only to him and two other comrades (The Black Manifesto). Fortunately this document falls in the hands of a US diplomat.The story gravitates around America's need to discredit this leader without outward involvement. Forsythe takes us into the underworld of Russian mafia as well as the upper echilon of the Politboro. ... Read more
