Fun! Exciting!

I am partial to this book because when I read it back in 1983, I was living in the location where much of it took place - in Kenya. If you like Desmond Bagley you will most likely enjoy it and will get a taste of what Kenya is like.

An excellent read.

If you like detective fiction, spy fiction, or simply action thrillers, Desmond Bagley is an author you should definitely discover. His plots are as plausible as that in "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", but he manages to keep them moving at a much brisker pace, with a great deal more action. His characters are very believable, and although he doesn't go out of his way to write obvious dialect, one can still hear the subtle differences in language between an American, a British man, a white South African, a Sikh, and an educated black Kenyan. A South African himself, Bagley seems very knowledgable of Africa, but he also seems comfortable when his plots take the action to Britain, or even to the United States. He is the author of about a dozen books; all are at least good, and this is one of his better efforts.
