I read this book with a great deal of interest. Although set against the background of the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland, it is a story that might take place anywhere in the world today.When diplomacy fails, highly placed personages in the British Government determine to take matters in hand by organizing a force to act "out of channels," with disastrous results.Mr. Fleming's novel is a thought provoking tale of abuse of intrigue, abuse of power, deceit, and betrayal. In these days of terrorism and counter-terrorism, it is all too plausible. Altogether, a very engaging and though provoking read. I look forward to Mr. Fleming's next effort.
