First Among Equals, by Jeffrey Archer
Filed under: book review, Fiction, Jeffrey Archer, Thriller
First Among Equals, a book written by Jeffrey Archer (now Sir Jeffrey Archer) in 1984, is a tale about four gentlemen aspiring to become the Prime Minister 
of Great Britain: Fraser, Gould, Kerslake and Seymour. They all enter the House of Commons in the 1960s, each aspiring to win the highest office and to reach 10 Downing Street. But only one man can do it.
Jeffrey Archer, the master storyteller, narrates in detail the lives of each man – the ups and downs each face – and winds it up with the final battle. And the competition for the highest office of the land is fierce.
The suspense is gripping, the twists in the plot are multiple, and the man who becomes the Prime Minister is revealed only in the very last paragraph of the novel.
First Among Equals has been filmed as a TV-mini-series by the BBC. It is a great read.
