Meticulous research, crisp narratives, plots as current as today's headlines-Frederick Forsyth has helped define the international thriller as we know it. And now he does it again. What if you had carte blanche to fight evil? Nothing held back, nothing off the table. What would you do? For decades, the world has been ...             The Fourth Protocol31 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1985 Nuclear Terrorism I read this one for thrills in the summer of 1985 when I was in chemsitry grad school. I found alot of things clever in that book. The part about the former Soviets smuggling in an atomic bomb piece by piece into a British port and then letting a man with a MS in Physics put it together and blow up an American air base in England to get the US nuclear weapons out of Europe was also nifty. The ...             The Odessa File77 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam Books, 1995 Amazing thriller The Odessa File is an amazing novel. The story is great, the characters are strongly developed, and the finale, I think, is just as strong as the rest of the novel. If you read The Day of the Jackal, you will find The Odessa File to be very similar in style, which is a great one with an intriguing plot, edge-of-your-seat action, and clever twists. Another thing which I had previously noted in ...             The Dogs of War47 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1982 WOW Book is just like new and fast delivery. I will buy from the seller aging!! My Sisters Keeper             The Phantom of Manhattan189 reviews Frederick Forsyth St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2000 I liked it I have been reading the other reviews and believe them to be a bit harsh. I found the preface explaining the background of the original book and how it grew to be a classic very interesting. I don't believe it is blasphemy to look critically at a classic. I agree with the author on some points. I have a hard time feeling sorry or empathizing with Gaston Leroux's phantom. How am I supposed to ...             The Afghan137 reviews Frederick Forsyth Signet, 2007 From a first-time Forsyth reader... The Afghan was the first Frederick Forsyth book I had read, and it was mostly by pure chance. I picked this book from a book list for school because all the other good books (i.e. those I had actually heard of) were taken (dontcha hate that??) and a friend enjoyed Forsyth's Dogs of War. I had no idea what to expect, and the title is vague enough to have second guesses (maybe it's about ...             The Day of the Jackal134 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1982 A gripping and exciting thriller "The Day of the Jackal" is one of the most famous political thrillers. The plot centers on an assassination attempt on the French president Charles De Gaul in the early 1960s by a group of right-wing extremists who were disillusioned by his "abdication" of Algeria. Their own plots invariably fail, so they decide to hire an outsider, a professional assassin for this enormously difficult task. The ...             Avenger110 reviews Frederick Forsyth St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2004 Readers will enjoy the mastery with which Forsyth lays out his thrills. He always delivers. Highly recommended Avenger is a quick read that is intricately plotted with excellent detail and believable action and execution. The characters a well-thought out and believable, and are fleshed out with only the faintest of telling descriptions. Forsyth's writing technique almost defies summarization, and he divides the narrative into topical chapters that focus on a single thread, the final pattern of the ...             The Veteran44 reviews Frederick Forsyth St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2003 The Veteran The Veteran by Frederick Forsyth is by far my favorite author and I may be therefore biased. However, this is a collection of short stories which are captivating as well as extraordinary. The reader will be pleasantly pleased with each delivers. I highly recommend this book as well as all his books. T.Ware             The Fist of God76 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1995 Spellbinding As usual, Frederick Forsyth keeps you wondering what's going to happen next, and the end has a surprising twist. No one can write about espionage as well. Highly recommended.             The Shepherd24 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1992 Another YES vote! I, too, like some of the other reviewers read this book many years ago and have never forgotten it. Recently I wanted a book for a friend and not wanting to loan my copy of The Shepherd ordered another copy. Other reviewers have mentioned the plot so I will simply say DO read this book. You will come away better for having read it and perhaps you too will remember it 25 years from now...             No Comebacks16 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1983 The Best Short Stories I've Read Forsyth is a master of detail, encased in tight, fine prose. In this collection of short stories, his hallmark of fine fiction derived from real-life situations prevails in an assortment of unexpected, even surprising, tales mostly of ordinary people leading ordinary lives. Several command re-reading, especially "The Emperor", which women will hate and men will adore.             Great Flying Stories2 reviews W. W. Norton & Company, 1995 The Best Collection of Flying Short Stories Available This is the best collection of shortstories related to flying in the market. It is a fantastic collection of stories from authors such as Frederick Forsyth, Len Deighton, Edgar Allen Poe, Capt. W. E. James, etc. You should definitely read this book             The Deceiver22 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1992 Gorby's Early Retirement Plan Frederick Forsyth has penned a most unusual collection of spy tales here. In fact four episodes from the colorful career of Sam McCready, British spy master, are provided and well-crafted. The four tales cover about 10 years and every terrorist and criminal hub in the world, including Libya, Cuba, USSR, the IRA, and East Germany. McCready has been deemed expendable, due to his unorthodox and ...             Icon83 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1997 Brillianly writtien and engrossing This just might be my favorite novel of all time. It was completely engrossing, suspenseful and filled with intrigue. I found the interweaving of real life figures into this fictional work wonderful. In Icon, Forsyth has created a world, very similar to ours, where the prevention of a world wide catastrophe is aided by a simple mistake. Someone left a document on a desk, the cleaning crew ...             The Biafra Story: The Making of an African Legend5 reviews Frederick Forsyth Pen and Sword, 2007 Unjustly forgotten classic of the Biafran War Forsyth is known for his later works the "Day of the Jackal", "Odessa File" and "Dogs of War". This though is his first book and in many ways superior to the rest. A non-fiction detailed description of the Biafran war, Forsyth pulls no punches describing the valiant but fruitless fight by the Ibo tribe to secede from Nigeria. Outnumbered, outgunned and out financed by the central government, ...             The Devil's Alternative31 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1982 One awesome, yet slow at times, thriller As someone else mentioned, this has a very tense suspense that is revealed at the last page... The books starts off fine, goes on in a fast mood till about 200 pages, where it hits a bump. For another 50-100 pages its really slow with mind numbing details (like latitudes you never care about, places you never heard of and thought existed in Mars, and other really boring details). But once you ...             VENGADOR, EL (Spanish Edition) FORSYTH FREDERICK DEBOLS LLO, 2010 Cuando un joven voluntario americano es brutalmente asesinado en Servia su millonario abuelo no duda en exigir venganza.

Pero lo que empieza como unatragedia personal se convierte rapidamente en una violenta historia que involucra a los mas peligrosos agentes ...             The Negotiator26 reviews Frederick Forsyth Bantam, 1990 One of Freddy Forsyth's Best Unlike some reviewers, I found The Negotiator to be one of my best fictional reads, and certainly my favorite Freddy Forsyth book, right up there with Day of the Jackal and Devil's Alternative. Without giving away the story, the president's only son is kidnapped in the UK while studying abroad, and so the president turns over leadership of the country to his able VP so he can attend to his ...             VE DAY - A DAY TO REMEMBER: Craig Cabell, Allan Richards Foreword by Frederick Forsyth Pen and Sword, 2005 The authors have compiled a collection of memories and anecdotes from celebrities and members of the public covering their experiences of the Second World War and the day that Victory over the Nazis was declared. We hear from not only those in the Armed Forces but civilians. The book catches the mood of jubilation and exhilaration yet also the great sadness of the huge waste of human life and resources.
