Plot

In London, England, Jonathan Hemlock is blackmailed into performing another "sanction", a top-secret political assassination.[citation needed]

Critical reception

Some critics derided The Loo Sanction and The Eiger Sanction as "pale James Bond derivatives" while Trevanian considered the books intentional Bond spoofs.[2]
