Reviews
On Nov 20 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
Frederick Forsyth has proven time and again that he is a master of his genre in historically based fiction of war, spying, and terrorism. He's given his readers blockbuster mystery suspense thrillers such as: The Day of the Jackal; The Dogs of War; The Fourth Protocol; The Odessa File; The Negotiator ... and more. With, The Fist of God, he has struck classic pay-dirt again. Here is perhaps the most thoroughly researched, historically based novel set in prewar operation Desert Storm yet written, with an absolutely captivating cast of characters. Forsyth takes us inside the Allies war-rooms, to secret meetings of Saddam Hussein's war cabinet, to daring flights by the American Air Force over the skies of Iraq, to the sands of Iraq itself, and into the deepest recesses of Hussien's depot dictatorship with a daring spy, Mike Martin, trying to reach an undercover agent he knows only as, Jerico, who holds high-level intel the Allies believe may make or break the war effort. This is an intense story of wartime subterfuge you won't want to miss. This was Frederick Forsyth's 11th work.
