The Fourth Estate

International bestselling author Jeffrey Archer has written a rich, classic read -- the riveting story of two extraordinary men, bound by ambition and torn by the competition that could bring them the world -- or send it crashing down around them.

In the bestselling tradition of "Kane and Abel," Archer pits two rivals from starkly different backgrounds against each other in a no-holds-barred battle for a global media empire. Lubi Hoch emerges from a Europe ravaged by bitter war and renames himself Richard Armstrong. Keith Townsend is a rich man's son: his father is an Australian press lord. They do have one thing in common -- they both want to control the largest media empire in the world. Unfortunately only one of them will succeed, and the other will be destroyed.
