I read this book many years ago around the era it was set. fully enjoyed the audio version which worked well as long as you think of it almost as a historical drama nowadays

Brilliant erudite writing, great plot

I love Desmond Bagley's writing. I think he is underrated and ignored. His books would make superb films.
