“Forsyth gives us all we ask for.”–Chicago Tribune.
After the Fourth Protocol, Frederick Forsyth was expected to produce something as splendid in his next novel, The Negotiator. Set against a background of the crumbling USSR era and the ending of the Cold War, the Negotiator is one of the few last novels about the Cold War drama of political intrigue.
