has lost forever. Until, of course, Dexter reads something in the papers
that sends him the necessary signal. Until one of the handful who know of
Dexters other life tries to contact him. For in a world that has forgotten right
and wrong, few can settle a score like Cal Dexter can. But the game is
changing, and this time CIA agent Kevin McBride must find a way to stop
Dexter before his quest for vengeance throws the world into chaos.
Avenger has all of Frederick Forsyths page-turning trade-marks and is
sure to be this falls most suspenseful read.
You only have to read the prologue to understand that you have picked up
a masterpiece in thriller/fiction writing. Though this novel is fiction, the facts
are juxtaposed brilliantly. The tunnel rats exercises in Vietnam, the
mujahedeen madrasas in Saudia and Afghanistan, the Talebani fanaticism
and of course the tracking of Osama Bin Laden and how the Avenger
almost plucks the joker right out of the pack of the American Intelligence
services makes for thrilling reading.
It starts with the brutal murder of a teenager who leaves his studies and
passionately pursues giving his all as an aid worker in strife torn Bosnia by
a group of politically fed Serbian terror gang known as Zorans Wolves who
are looked after by the Marshall Tito regime.
The grandfather of the boy who is a business magnate enlists the services
of a Tracker and the Avenger to get to the bottom of the mystery involving
his missing grandchild. The strategising of the Avenger in hunting the
Serbian ganglord is pure genius. This is pulse reading a nd you cant help
but acknowledge Forsyth as a master writer.
It is amazing that this book has not been turned into a film yet. It has all the
spice to make it a cracker!
