Story
Plan Aurora, hatched in a remote dacha in the forest outside Moscow and initiated with relentless brilliance and skill, is a plan within a plan that, in its spine-chilling ingenuity, breaches the ultra-secret Fourth Protocol and turns the fears that shaped it into a living nightmare. A crack Soviet agent, placed under cover in a quiet English country town, begins to assemble a jigsaw of devastation.

Story
A collection of five suspenseful gems by master storyteller Frederick Forsyth, best-selling author of The Day of the Jackal and The Odessa File. Justice does not always come easily, and it comes in many guises. On the seedier side of London, a shopkeeper witnesses a brutal beating in The Veteran. In a better neighborhood, a famous London auction house is scammed in The Art of the Matter. And there's more … the other stories venture to a persecution in 16th century Sienna, a mid-flight drug smuggling heist, and the lone survivor of Custer's Last Stand. The voices of narrators Patrick MacNee, Bruce Boxleitner, and Christopher Casanove truly compliments the author's genius. Mixing together the elements of great suspense - revenge, mystery, murder and deception - this collection is Forsyth at his best.

Publisher's Summary
During those fateful weeks before Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, a fragment of radio intercept had referred to Qubth-ut-Allah, a devastating secret weapon that could rain death and destruction on the Allied forces. Despite Allied scepticism, Major Mike Martin, an SAS man who can pass as an Arab, is sent into Kuwait to assess Iraqi strength and help the resistance.
What he discovers there takes him into the heart of Baghdad, where he is to 'run' the Iraqi spy known as Jericho, the sleeper who might be prepared to provide vital information for money. It is a highly dangerous operation, the results of which cause the Allies to delay their ground assault for four days - while Martin parachutes into the Iraqi mountains on the most hazardous mission of his life: to find and destory Qubth-ut-Allah - the Fist of God.

A good book but not a fan of the narrator
Where does The Fist of God rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A good book so 7 out of 10 based on those i have listened to.
What aspect of John Franklyn-Robbins’s performance might you have changed?
The narrators accent was distracting for me (posh old school English) while this was appropriate for some of the characters for many it just didn't fit. the attempts at an american accent were horrid and at times when reading as the English SAS hero (who was speaking Arabic) the narrator tended to sound like the wicked witch of the north! Finally i found the use of the less popular and old fashioned pronunciation of covert (cuvet) quite annoying as it is used quite a lot in this book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no its a long book but i was interested all the way through.
Any additional comments?
Overall i enjoyed the book but for the points i have noted above.

Narrators are important to the story
Liked the story but not so much the narrator, he was good but s bit flat.
Star loss was due to the narrator, probably only a half star loss deserved as he was still good.
