Publisher's Summary
"Knocking off a bank or an armored truck is merely crude. Knocking off an entire republic has, I feel, a certain style." So says mining magnate Sir James Manson, a shadowy titan of London's financial district, who is scheming a coup d'état in the small West African dictatorship of Zangaro, where a secret source of platinum lies waiting to be exploited.
The man selected to plan and carry out the sack of Zangaro is Cat Shannon, a 33-year-old Anglo-Irishman from Nigeria. If the goal is clear, the means are not, for there are no up-to-date manuals on overthrowing governments by force. By the time he has set forth this sinister venture in all its ramifications, Frederick Forsyth has fashioned that manual and given us a classic of terror and enthrallment.

Compelling!
A most compelling listen - couldn’t put it down. Forsyth is such a marvellous writer - such detail, such specialty knowledge, marvellous characters, and of course, a brilliant plot. The whole rendered wonderfully by one of my favourite readers, Frederick Davidson. Thank you Audible.

Needs a Metronome
I found the narration the worst I've ever heard. Very aggravating the varying narration rate, pumping out words at times much faster than others I have heard, and then slowing right down and giving extended pause for periods and commas.

Fun escapist adventure. Poor performance and recording.
A fun and engaging story (though the author’s portrayal of women is cringeworthy and embarrassing and decidedly 1970’s.) to his credit, his portrayal of race holds up pretty well in 2022. The audio recording is marred by what sounds like a tv or radio talk show playing incessantly in the background: through headphones the audio is nearly unlistenable. Furthermore , the narrator sounds untrained in the use of a microphone: volume levels fluctuate wildly! No wonder Audible is giving this away for free!
