A Complete Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
After you finish this book you will swear that he did not also write his first great book The Berkut. This book is one that you need a lot of coffee and bright lights on to stay as attentive as you need to be (and want to be) to grasp the many sub plots and subtitle twists. This book is not a fast paced thriller, but a rather slow moving heavy book that you really can sink your teeth into to. This book is not heading to the movie screen any time soon due to its complexity. I think of his writing this, it is what Clancy would be like if he had a Masters in English Lit from Yale. If you are looking for this type of book then you should buy this book, if you are looking for something lighter then many Higgins is for you.
A continuation of The Berkut; excellent

It has been many years since reading this pair of books. Incredible how such a talented author is hidden away with his masterpieces out of print. The characters in both The Berkut and The Domino Conspiracy are unique and unforgetable. After 12 years I hope he will allow his followers another opportunity to escape into his rich style of storytelling. Thank you Mr Heywood. I only wish I had hard cover editions and could remember who I loaned the paperbacks to.
What a great author! Don't know why people overlooked so far
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This is a most talented writer who was unluckily overlooked by most readers since his research direction and subjects both were too truly European or Russian. His BURKU was a rare treat of tour-de-force that really shook me and touched me deeply, and this one was no exception, very professionally prepared and presented with wonderful writing, the scenario and plots, like BURKU, really caused me to rethink the possibilty of reality and made me wonder, IS IT POSSIBLE? May be it's just like what Heywood portrayed...? I'm trying very hard to look for his TAXI DANCER now.
