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.
