Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended   June 5, 2008
Another of my Forsyth favourites. Great book shows the ever changing world of intelligence and the ever increasing influence of politics really well.


4 out of 5 stars Absolute thriller   April 12, 2008
In true Frederick Forsyth style, The Deceiver has succeeded once again in not only entertaining but also educating the reader. I bought this book after reading that after this novel was published, the British government was forced to admit that they have used some of the techniques used in the book.

This book (along with The Fist of God) takes one about as close as possible to the world of espionage and how spying really works. Before you read this, forget 007 running around with a machine gun gunning down all the bad guys. Approach with an open mind and the reader will be immersed in the world of lies and deceit, all for Queen and country. The Price of the Bride was particularly good. Highly recommended!



5 out of 5 stars 4 Great stories   October 2, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The over-arching story is of a redundancy appeal hearing of an old-school spymaster at the end of the 90s - as Glasnost promises a new era in post-Cold War Intelligence Operations. The appeal is presented in the form of 4 short stories of Sam McReady's involvement during the cold war.

Each short story is excellent, and after a while I couldn't put it down.



5 out of 5 stars Four into one   September 3, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is really four short stories of espionage put into one book as they all feature the same character, a spy who is due to be pensioned off as surplus to requirements in the post cold war era.

Forsyth never lets you down. Always well researched, always gripping. best of the four is the price of the Bride. Right to the end you are unsure as to whether the Russian is a genuine defector or a double agent.



3 out of 5 stars I found this book to be both interesting and exciting   December 24, 1999
 3 out of 5 found this review helpful

With book commences with the prelude that the main character of the book {San McReady} is being eased into early retirement by M16's new Deputy Head.The book continues to include four stories which are told at Sams' hearing which takes place to decide whether or not he will be retired.I would recommend this book to anybody who feels like a spy story at it's best.
