About this listen
He should never have opened the envelope....
Adam Scott listens to the reading of his father's will, aware that the contents can only be meagre. The Colonel, after all, had nothing to leave - except a letter he had never opened himself, a letter that can only bring further disgrace to the family name. Against his mother's advice, Adam opens the letter, and immediately realizes his life can never be the same again. The contents leave him with no choice but to follow a course his father would have described as a matter of honour.

Gripping if a little Hollywood
Some cheesy, implausible, Hollywood elements, but still a gripping and enjoyable story for all that. Worth reading if you like cold war style thrillers. Some casual sexism that is a little disturbing, but that might be a product of the times in which the book is set rather than the views of the author; hard to say.

0ne minor mistake in the reading of the book.
In one passage the reader says of a man “he was in the Royal DRAGON Guards” - He should have said, “he was in the Royal DRAGOON Guards”
It’s a small mistake, but it irritated me!
The book is great, although it did take me a while to get in to it. Once in, it’s a great story.

The first novel I read as an adult.
A matter of honour was the first novel I read as an adult. I read it again later in life and now listened to the download whilst driving. I have to say it was even better this way, the voice actor was amazing and took me right into the book.
I will listen to it again in the future.

Good story ruined by narrator
This took s little longer to get into than the usual Archer stories; the clipped, staccato narrative made it difficult to maintain interest. This was aggravated by the numerous Slavic names, only serving to confuse the listener.
That being said, the story managed to hold the imagination, despite the slightly implausible situations in true Archer style.

Excellent
It took a wee while to get into this book but well worth it. Different from the usual Jeffrey Archer stories but still a great listen.

Enthralling story.
First time I've heard John Lee as a narrator and really enjoyed listening to him.
The story itself was excellent well worth a listen.

Every 10 years
I read this book every 10 years or so. Now I'm listening to it.
Great story, well written and well narrated. Maybe it's a bit ageless because the writing reflects the era it was set in. It's a bit old-fashioned when held up to a modern book but I will be back again in another 10 years.
