Incidentally, I would like to recommend anything by Forsyth. His other books include _The_Odessa_File_ (hunting down former Nazis), _The_Dogs_of_War_ (mercenaries in central Africa), _The_Devil's_ _Alternative_ (high-level English-Russian-US spies), and _The_Fourth_ _Protocol_ (don't know - haven't read it yet). All are very detailed, well written novels. Chuck Koelbel
