The reader feels at one with the many characters as they each take part in the many small ventures that give rise to the climax. By God, we’ve got it.” All this points to Fredrick Forsyth’s amazing mood-setting talent in this novel. When Jean-Marie Bastien is vigorously preparing for the first assault on de Gaulle, the reader can sense the tension in the air and the feeling of accomplishment when Bastien says, “That’s it! One hundred and fifty bullets will have passed through the presidential car by the time it comes abreast of the van. When Rodin, the leader of the terrorist group hears of the failed attacks, the reader can feel his frustration and hatred towards the French government.
The mood the author sets is exceptionally suspenseful.
