A deadly secret whispered by a dying gunrunner on a lonely road
in Zambia sets MI6 agent Sam Packer on a frantic race against

As Packer fights desperately to win Julie’s confidence, the

find not only the weapon but the identity of the sinister
organization known as the Lucifer Network.

Good action story
This was a fast paced and generally well written story with a reasonably believable story line. That is about all

Excellent. My first book by this author. Full of thrills and excitement. I must try to find out about his other books..
This is a story that you might read about in the Sunday tabloids. A real spy novel. But this has the realization that this is what goes on every day in the world of a spy.

A man made virus - fact or fiction
A brilliant written and entertaining read from start to finish. Geoffrey Archer could not have had any idea when he first published this how frighteningly relevant it would be for a world gripped in the midst of a pandemic. Definitely worthy of 5 stars, brilliant plot, characters that you feel are real. Highly recommended.

Another mind boggling tale from Geoffrey Archer
Geoffrey Archer clearly does a considerable amount of research as his plots always have a very authentic feel to them. The Lucifer Network is no exception and holds the readers interest to the end, as usual leaving unanswered questions.

A good read but.
A very good and intriguing plot. I will probably not read any more Geoffrey Archer books as I dislike having to do a review on his excellent stories.
