Omtale fra forlaget

Mightier than the Sword opens with an IRA bomb exploding during the MV Buckingham's maiden voyage across the Atlantic - but how many passengers lose their lives? When Harry Clifton visits his publisher in New York, he learns that he has been elected as the new president of English PEN, and immediately launches a campaign for the release of a fellow author, Anatoly Babakov, who's imprisoned in Siberia. Babakov's crime? Writing a book called Uncle Joe, a devastating insight into what it was like to work for Stalin. So determined is Harry to see Babakov released and the book published, that he puts his own life in danger. His wife Emma, chairman of Barrington Shipping, is facing the repercussions of the IRA attack on the Buckingham. Some board members feel she should resign, and Lady Virginia Fenwick will stop at nothing to cause Emma's downfall. Sir Giles Barrington is now a minister of the Crown, and looks set for even higher office, until an official trip to Berlin does not end as a diplomatic success. Once again, Giles's political career is thrown off balance by none other than his old adversary, Major Alex Fisher, who once again stands against him at the election. But who wins this time? In London, Harry and Emma's son, Sebastian, is quickly making a name for himself at Farthing's Bank in London, and has proposed to the beautiful young American, Samantha. But the despicable Adrian Sloane, a man interested only in his own advancement and the ruin of Sebastian, will stop at nothing to remove his rival. Jeffrey Archer's compelling Clifton Chronicles continue in this, his most accomplished novel to date. With all the trademark twists and turns that have made him one of the world's most popular authors, the spellbinding story of the Clifton and the Barrington families continues.

Eva om Mektigere enn sverdet av Jeffrey Archer:

17:53, 7. april 2018 Kommentarer: 1

Denne femte boka i Clifton krøniken ble litt langtekkelig. Det er fortsatt nok av spenning, men altfor mye politikk og bankintriger. Mister en prikk på terningen, men serien er fortsatt knakende god!

Hallgrim Barlaup siterer Mektigere enn sverdet av Jeffrey Archer (side 237)

22:21, 20. oktober 2018 Ingen har det som favoritt.

Den liberale kandidaten sa: "Jeg har akkurat like store problemer med å finne en venninne som jeg har med å finne folk til å stemme på meg, men i likhet med majoren har jeg ikke gitt oppe ennå.
