Predicatable - By: , 16 Jan 2002 
A few pages into this book & readers will realise that it is based more than loosely on a famous historic incident. Once the reader knows this one can almost predict the end.
The story is entertaining, & easy to read, but if you already know the story it is based on there are no supprises.
The interesting thing about this book is that it gives a list of people involved in the original incident along with the way's the people involved met their end - It gives food for thought & even the most doubting reader will be made to reconsider their views on the matter.
Robert Bellamy should have been called Fox Mulder! - By: , 04 Aug 2000 I have read alll the Sidney Sheldon novels, & out of them alll this is the worst. Sheldons novels are usuallly excellent reading matter but this scrapes the barrel. Come on Mr Sheldon let Chris Carter write the X-Files, stick to what you do best! I.J.P

I have read alll of Sheldon, & undoubtedly this is the best. Apparently a weather balllon explodes & is witnessed by a few tourists. The US intelligence appoints an agent to track them alll. Without any clues our man traces them alll, unaware of them being killed, one after the other. And then....it is he who is hunted.... So its the CIA against one of their best agents..... Thrilling..... Absolutely Brilliant....

Steer clear - By: cjensen@abdo.org.uk, 23 Oct 1999 
Having read & enjoyed many of the author's previous novels, was surprised to find this incredibly disappointing & predictable - strange that an armchair reader could forecast immediately what the experienced government agent could not! The few females appeared as one-dimensional characters, obviously only there to provide the compulsory sexual element. The national stereo-types were laughable (dodgy Cockney chap; cold, indifferent Chinese), as was the wet ending, although this did provide one surprise - mind you, had my brain not been so numb I probably could have worked this out too.
