      From the bestselling author of The Day of the Jackal, international master of intrigue Frederick Forsyth, comes a thriller that brilliantly blends fact with fiction for one of this summer's--or any season's--most explosive reads! From the behind-the-scenes decision-making of the Allies to the secret meetings of Saddam Hussein's war cabinet, from the brave American fliers running their dangerous missions over Iraq to the heroic young spy planted deep in the heart of Baghdad, Forsyth's incomparable storytelling skill keeps the suspense at a breakneck pace. Somewhere in Baghdad is the mysterious "Jericho," the traitor who is willing--for a price--to reveal what is going on in the high councils of the Iraqi dictator. But Saddam's ultimate weapon has been kept secret even from his most trusted advisers, and the nightmare scenario that haunts General Schwarzkopf and his colleagues is suddenly imminent, unless somehow, the spy can locate that weapon--The Fist of God--in time. Peopled with vivid characters, brilliantly displaying Forsyth's incomparable, knowledge of intelligence operations and tradecraft, moving back and forth between Washington and London, Baghdad and Kuwait, desert vastnesses and city bazaars, this breathtaking novel is an utterly convincing story of what may actually have happened behind the headlines.

      Król powrócił. Przez lata Carl Denham zyskał reputację najlepszego twórcy filmów dokumentalnych i postanowił pójść o krok dalej. Wraz z ekipą filmową i aktorką Ann Darrow wyruszył ku mitycznej Wyspie Czaszek, kierowany tajemniczą mapą. To, co tam ujrzeli, przerosło ich najgorsze koszmary. Cały archipelag ogrodzono wielkim murem, mającym chronić świat śmiertelnych przed czymś strasznym. Przed bogiem-bestią. Przed królem Wyspy Czaszek. King Konga stworzył Merian C. Cooper, amerykański filmowiec, który położył podwaliny pod polskie lotnictwo wojenne. Choć Devos W. Lovelace napisał powieść na zlecenie Coopera, w kilku miejscach różni się ona od filmu. Niektóre sceny, jak ta z wielkimi insektami, pojawiły się dopiero w filmie z 2005 roku w reżyserii Petera Jacksona. Historia opowiedziana w tej książce najbliższa jest oryginalnej wizji króla małp.
