Fire Hawk

Fire Hawk, by the diplomatic correspondent Geoffrey Archer, formerly from ITV, is a fantastic read that uses information taken from today's main terrorist issues with the weapons and concepts of tomorrow. Sam Packer, an MI6 agent, is in love with a fellow agent, who shortly after the starting of the book mysteriously dies. Strange.. Yes, I thought that too. Of course, it's not as simple as that. Of course, the subplot intertwingles with the main plot: some Iraqis have built a dirty missile capable of killing the name "Washington D.C" or "New York". They do not want to use it to kill innocent lives: they want it to get the US to liberate Iraq after the Mukhabarat ( the Iraqi terrorist policing association) have killed so many people. The book, a tale of how a forty ton germmissile got from the Soviets to Iraq to the USA, and how love can kill of business, is the perfect concept of a modern tale which could so easily be done by normal people.A scary insight into realism, Archer, and I hope moer of the same books can come on the market. I'll give it five stars.

When British agent Sam Packer was traded during a hostage swap with Iraq, the SIS couldn't decide whether the tip-off given to him about anthrax being shipped out of Iraq was true.It was not until his lover, another agent, was found murdered in Cyprus while on the trail of an Iraqi defector, that connections were found to a Ukrainian criminal organisation, that Packer was assigned to carry outfurther investigation. Slowly, the threads on a horrendous plot began to unravel, with strings from Ukraine to Iraq, to Cyprus, London and all the way to the ultimate destination of a biological weapon attack.Fire Hawk was a better thriller than what Ludlum or Clancy could have packed. The author managed to include a tightly woven tale with more twists and surprises without stretching credibility, fleshing out all-too-human characters in the cast of heroes and villains without stereotyping nor munchkinism.An excellent read for those tired of overly grandiose plots, superhuman heroes and world dominating villains.

To my regret can't write any review because you guys not able to deliver used books to Ukraine:))Best regards,Igor
