  • The Afghan is Forsyth's weakest effort, badly edited and with a very weak third act. But his works stand among the finest conceived and executed suspense thrillers of the past 50 years. The Day of the Jackal and The Fourth Protocol are two of my favorite thrillers of all time, along with Night of the Generals and Gorky Park, by Kirst and Smith repectively.

  • @thejackal7137 It might be the worst, but it was still bloody good!

  • I love the Odessa File, I listen to the audio book every year, usually in deep winter when it is itself set....

  • Check out 'The Cobra'..you won't be dissapointed..

  • The Afghan is very well researched and i enjoyed it. Not his best but worth a read.

  • i love listening to forsyth talk! it's like the perfect combination of accent and expertise.

  • A very good book THE DOGS OF WAR, exciting and the two pages of sex that some people said were wrong are magnificently written.

  • my favourite author. Cool.

    1. One of the youngest RAF pilots. 2. Journalist in Biafra. 3. Amazing novels. 3. Had a Rolex Daydate in 18 K gold. 4. Had a coat made from jackal skin.

  • Yes, The Devil's Alternative is a great read -- one of his lesser known works but a real page-turner.

  • I enjoyed The Afghan quite a bit, but it certainly was not FF's best work. I'd have to say Icon would be my least fave FF novel -- again, very good compared to most other stuff but not the best he produced. It was a great day in my life when, fifteen or sixten years ago, I picked up Day of the Jackal and discovered Frederick Forsythe.

  • I'm interested. How do I join this club?
