[Steve Cooper · Rating 3 out of 5]

Prince Malko is sent to Kuwait to foil a Palestinian plot to kill Henry Kissinger. Along the way he has many adventures and we learn how evil and duplicitous the Palestinians are. Like all Arabs, we are told several times, the Palestinians only understand brute force (the Yom Kippur war of ‘73 was still fresh when this book was written so racism could ironically be justified by peoples’ moral outrage).

The prince is quite a busy bee in this episode. He does foil the plot and has sex with a belly-dancing Palestinian beauty, a married Saudi woman, a black CIA agent, and (my favorite) he joins the hippie trail, gets high and has sex with a Japanese terrorist on a Goa beach.

But then you know it’s going to be hot when your used copy of the book has ‘censuré’ scrawled across several pages as mine did.

Un thriler bun si fara XXX

[Y Catlow · Rating 3 out of 5]

L'action et le suspense sont toujours très fun. Il faut passer par-dessus le racisme de l'auteur, encore plus présent dans les romans de cette période.
Donc bon... ça ne passe pas forcément.

[Kostiantyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another pulp spy thriller starring Prince Malko. You know exactly what to expect, and you know exactly you’ll get it. The sexual and violent content is over the top, which is typical of de Villiers I suppose. The plot… someone wants Kissinger dead, and the SAS end up in this crazy mess after pulling out of his castle in Austria. I was kind of hooked, even though it's total trash. It's a guilty pleasure, what can I say?"
