About this listen

Plan Aurora, hatched in a remote dacha in the forest outside Moscow and initiated with relentless brilliance and skill, is a plan within a plan that, in its spine-chilling ingenuity, breaches the ultra-secret Fourth Protocol and turns the fears that shaped it into a living nightmare. A crack Soviet agent, placed under cover in a quiet English country town, begins to assemble a jigsaw of devastation. MI5 investigator John Preston, working against the most urgent of deadlines, leads an operation to prevent the act of murderous destruction aimed at tumbling Britain into revolution...

Great Story, well narrated, different from the film but not in a bad way. Well worth a download

I loved this title. I knew and enjoyed the film, and thought I'd give it a try. I was not disappointed - David Rintoul's delivery is spot on, engages you and really brings the story to life. His range of accents is impressive and adds realism. Given that Forsyth is a byword for authenticity and accuracy the delivery by Rintoul is a perfect match. Listen & Enjoy!

Excellent!! Listen & Enjoy!

30 years after this book was written many elements of the story are still current especially the idea of Russia meddling in elections and using a WMD in a western country.

A well written story enhanced by a great narrator, I'm certain David Rintoul could read the telephone directory and make it listenable.

This is certainly a title I'll listen to again sometime.

An excellent and compelling, multi-layered yarn from the master of spy thrillers, well-narrated and with a satisfyingly complete pulling-together of loose threads in the final pages. My only quibble with Mr Forsyth is that his attention to factual detail can sometimes be a little over the top: my reading experience would have been equally rewarding for example without gaining as I did an encyclopaedic knowledge of the geography and road names of Chesterfield. But this is a mere quibble and overall I would recommend this book highly to those who enjoy Mr Forsyth's genre.

The consummate spymaster

Very enjoyable story but at times the author’s attention to detail is a bit over the top.

But in fairness much like his classic - Day of the Jackal

Old fashioned spy thriller
