Probably the best book in the last half dozen of the Kirk McGarvey series (but not as good as the early books), an U.S. intelligence officer with expertise on Pakistan, dons a disguise and assassinates the president of Pakistan to start a new regime, aligning himself with the army and Taliban. However, Kirk McGarvey changes his appearance to go undercover to Pakistan, accompanying the new ambassador With his usual support team of Otto and Louise Rencke, his paramour, Pete Boylan, and his Pakistan-based buddy, Milt Thomas, Mac has a secret order from the U.S. President to kill the Messiah. Meanwhile, nobody knows the Messiah's psychotic endgame. The book could have been better had Hagberg provided any insight into the Pakistani-Indian conflict, and had a plausible reason for Pete to know Mac was being water-boarded. 3.75 stars.

"Pakistan is torn apart by riots in the streets. The CIA sends Pakistan expert David Haaris to meet with leaders of the military intelligence apparatus which all but controls the country, to try to head off what appears to be the disintegration of the government. But Haaris has other ideas. After disguising himself, he beheads the president in front of a mob of ten thousand people and declares himself the new Messiah. He says he will bring peace and stability to the country by allying with the Taliban. At that moment, miles to the south on the border with Afghanistan, one of four stolen nuclear weapons is detonated. Pakistan has become the most dangerous nation in the world. Legendary former director of the CIA Kirk McGarvey is given a mission--assassinate the Messiah, code name: The Fourth Horseman"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
