About this listen

During those fateful weeks before Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, a fragment of radio intercept had referred to Qubth-ut-Allah, a devastating secret weapon that could rain death and destruction on the Allied forces.

Despite Allied scepticism, Major Mike Martin, an SAS man who can pass as an Arab, is sent into Kuwait to assess Iraqi strength and help the resistance. What he discovers there takes him into the heart of Baghdad, where he is to 'run' the Iraqi spy known as Jericho, the sleeper who might be prepared to provide vital information for money. It is a highly dangerous operation, the results of which cause the Allies to delay their ground assault for four days - while Martin parachutes into the Iraqi mountains on the most hazardous mission of his life: to find and destory Qubth-ut-Allah - the Fist of God.

Critic reviews

'Once again, as in The Day Of The Jackal and a host of other gripping tales, the master has done a brilliant job'
'He is a superb storyteller...some notable excitements in the best Forsyth style' (Douglas Hurd)
'Forsyth's expertise and research lend the book a powerful ring of authenticity and he has an almost mesmeric ability to compel the reader to keep turning the page. It's a corking good read'
'By turns fascinating and thrilling...keeps springing surprises to the very end'

Surprisingly good for such a long audiobook, it held my attention throughout. Some of the technology , then cutting edge , is now a bit clunky, but it was a good read. I recommend it to everyone.

I must say I enjoyed the book though it took me longer than expected but that was because of my time constraints. It is very well researched and written. I found the narrator absolutely fine, no issues there. I can recommend it as an excellent book by a great author.

A great story if a tad on the long side.
