Customer Reviews

A very original espionage mystery!

And a Colin Forbes novel which does not feature Tweed and co., like his other entertaining books in that series. Jules Beaurain is the leader of TELESCOPE, an unofficial anti-terrorist squad which is illegal but tolerated - they have overpowered everyone from bank robbers to nuclear terrorists! But they may be facing their most deadly enemy - the SYNDICATE of the book's title, who are spreading their influence into the highest reaches of power, including the White House, by using one Litov, a top Soviet agent. As both sides outwit each other across Europe, the net closes in . . . This novel, despite being written in 1982, is still a thrilling adventure even today. The action never stops after a bit of a false start, and Colin Forbes demonstrates that he visits the locations featured by describing them so well. Denmark and Belgium are countries I have visited and could relate to those parts in particular. One of his best reads.
