Product Description

Now the cold war is over, why are the intelligence services of Britain, the United States and Israel so interested in locating and possibly 'eliminating' an elderly Russian scientist? Because he's one of the world's leading experts in biological warfare and he's heading for the Gulf, possibly en route to Iraq. But the action doesn't stop there. For some reason, two agents from the American anti-drug squad are also in hot pursuit. Then there's the group that calls itself Providence Two. Is this really a dangerous terrorist cell, and what is their interest in the runaway scientist? There's even the threat of war in the Middle East when an Israeli intelligence agent stumbles across a consignment of deadly missiles. The outcome is uncertain. Will the Russian scientist find safety, or will he fall victim to one of the hunters? In this tense and exhilarating thriller, you're not sure whose agenda will be the winning one until the final spectacular showdown.

Customer Reviews

Cracking good yarn!
The Fifth Agenda is Peter Clements first novel. Wisely Clements has written about things he obviously knows about but has added a nice conspiracy theory to keep things humming.

The plot involves the threat of biological mayhem with intelligence agencies from several world powers competing to secure their countries best interests. Unlike some thrillers the plot is very plausible - did this really happen?

I found the book easy to read, hard to put down actually - however Clements in my opinion overdid the 'big' words. Over all though it is a great read and a cracking good yarn.

Great Read
This is a great read. This high action international thriller is difficult to put down. It is convincing and tackles some very relevant scenarios being played out in the international scene today. It is very believeable and has been written well. I highly recommend it.

Could Have Been Good
The story in this book is a good one, but it is written in such a stilted and stiff way of writing that it turns out to be just plain boring. Perhaps the author should find something else to do besides writing books.
