Personal Review: The Negotiator by Frederick Forsyth
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 stricken wife. The kidnapping occurs at
critical time of Soviet negotiations around arms reduction
After all the blame that can made is made, it is time to focus on recovery of
the President's son. On the recommendations of the CIA, the VP chooses
an outsider to help negotiate the release of the president's son: he
summons "Quinn" from retirement in Spain. Quinn has a record of
effectiveness, but rebelliousness that antagonizes every branch of
government on both sides of the pond. Before accepting this request,
Quinn has only one condition: he works for the President and the family,
not the US government. The VP reluctantly agrees.
And so the deception and duplicitous behaviour begins on both sides of
the Atlantic...all anticipated by Quinn
There are a few amazing coincidences, but I did not find they took away
from the story.
This is a terrific thriller with many twists and turns, and nothing is as it
seems including the kidnappers and their motivation, and mysterious
people behind this heinous crime
I am puzzled why this story was never made into a movie thriller. It is a
great read
