Store Stamped. --- THE DOGS OF WAR --- In a remote corner of Zangaro, a small republic in Africa, lies Crystal Mountain. At certain times of the day the mountain emits a strange glow. Only Sir James Manson knows why. The mountain contains ten billion dollar's worth of the world's most valuable mineral, platinum. Now the only question is, how to get hold of it. Sir James knows how. Invade the country with a band of savage, cold-blooded mercenaries. Topple the government and set up a puppet dictatorship. Unleash the dogs of war. --- THE FOURTH PROTOCOL --- (KIRKUS REVIEW) - Another Forsyth countdown thriller--this time in 1987 Britain, where (in the novel's last 150 pages) the men of MI5 will be madly scrambling in order to prevent a USSR-engineered nuclear ""accident."" Before the countdown begins, however, Forsyth teasingly moves back and forth between two slowly-developing plots, which will link up only in the novel's final moments. . .See photos for additional content. . .

About this title

Synopsis

An astonishing discovery is made in the remote African republic of Zangaro, one which could change the course of a nation's history forever. But such a discovery cannot be kept secret for long and Sir James Manson will stop at nothing to protect this find. A ruthless and bloody-minded tycoon, Manson immediately hires an army of mercenaries and with this deadly crew behind him he sets out to topple the government and replace its dictator with a puppet president.

But news of the discovery has reached Russia - and suddenly Manson finds he no longer makes the rules in this power game. A game in which win or lose means life or death.

Review

"What keeps you reading - absorbed, excited, fearfully tense - is its details of the plotting of the coup" (New Statesman)

"Enormous and convincing detail, and a shattering climax" (Sunday Mirror)

"A super thriller . . . as instantly enthralling as The Day of the Jackal" (Publishers Weekly)

"There is no doubt about it. Frederick Forsyth can write spellbinders" (Bestsellers)
