The Devil's Alternative

'Whichever option I choose, men are going to die.' This is The Devil's Alternative, the appalling choice facing the President of the USA and other statesmen throughout the world. It lies at the heart of Frederick Forsyth's greatest and most ambitious novel. 

As the gripping story gathers momentum, the reader is transported from Moscow to London, from Rotterham to Washingston, from a country house in Ireland to the world's biggest oil tanker which threatens to pollute the whole of the North Sea. The climax is the most exciting that even this master story-teller has contrived, and the last minute surprises in the concluding chapters take the breath away.
