About this listen

Fast-paced and intriguing, Mightier than the Sword is the fifth novel in Jeffrey Archer’s bestselling Clifton Chronicles. Moving towards the end of the 1960s, the Cliftons and the Barringtons come up against sworn enemies and new foes . . .

Following the explosion of an IRA bomb on board the Barrington’s flagship MV Buckingham, Emma Clifton must deal with the repercussions on her family’s shipping business. Meanwhile her old adversary, Lady Virginia Fenwick, plots her downfall.

Bestselling novelist Harry is on a mission to free a fellow author imprisoned in Siberia, even if it costs him everything.

Giles, his brother-in-law, a minister of the Crown, faces his own problems when a diplomatic disaster risks his bid for higher office.

With its devastating twists and turns, Archer’s spellbinding the Clifton Chronicles continues to enthral listeners. Continue the bestselling series with Cometh the Hour and This Was a Man.

If my memory serves me correctly this was originally a trilogy, then it became a chronicle, with 5 parts. BUT this book has again been left on a cliff hanger that points to another one in the series, I find this really annoying and doubt that I will bother with the next one as I feel I am being taken for a ride.
However, I did enjoy the book, apart from the overstated hatred and revenge shown by some of the characters, which I find quite unreal. The story was tense and interesting, BUT....... the ending has made me so cross and I am unwilling to wait a year to be left on yet another hook.

Still no ending?

So many nuggets in this instalment some answered some to come, where to start without giving too much away. All I can say is how will this collection of books ever end?? If you like people standing up for their rights, politics and finding out if justice will be done, revenge plots then this is for you

What a Cliffhanger
