There is a stellite through which, daily, pass all the interbank transactions between London and New York, currencies to the value of billions of pounds--moving not as bank notes, but as vulnerable streams of electrons. This, the most vital computer system in existence, is operated by Swift, on which depends the delicate stability of the world's currencies.

Amazed at the research required for this novel. James Follett used this to create a story most laymen readers would understand. In doing this he retained an excellent story flow that made it hard to put the book down. A great story plot that only a great writer could turn into a gripping novel.

Clonanau

A mindless use of technology: it appears that some kind of voice recognition was used to turn this book into digital form . The result is that the book is littered with mistakes like ".....avoided a panoramic view..." instead of "afforded." Or "Belgian" where "Belgium" was required.....and on and on!
Nothing wrong with using technology but no excuse to skip proofreading.

I discovered james follet during a search for ken follet and have enjoyed his books so far. This was a good read but had many grammar errors and was a little hard to follow at times

Jelar

A good continuation of The Rho Agenda. Plenty of twists and turns. The characters are bigger than life and not altogether believable, but it is a good yarn and fun to read.

Bluddefender

Food book as are all of the author s. I was disappointed in the transcribing. The book has to many typos to count.

Little Devil

This is about the fourth novel I've read from James Follett and each one is better than the last. I'm a history buff so this is right up my alley. Well done!

Great reading as always

The storyline is interesting if fairly predictable, once you get past the initial confusion. A few of the characters are unbelief able. The many typos and grammatical errors lead me to conclude no one proofread the manuscript.
