    Frederick Forsyth (FF) dedicated this thriller to the ‘tunnel rats’ of the Vietnam war. Fans of Harry Bosch, the alcoholic hero of many Michael Connelly novels, know he was one of them, long ago. FF explains in graphic detail what their work entailed. Because, deeply hidden under plenty of action and lots of background, this tale is about two former tunnel rats, who worked as a pair three decades ago, trusting each other blindly…

    ‘The Avenger’ covers > 50 years and ends on the eve of 9/11/2001. It has three story lines: (1) the search in Bosnia for the grandson of a Canadian mining tycoon who went missing in 1995; and years later, for his killer; (2) the life and career of a 51-year-old small town lawyer and widower, who trains body and mind to apply real justice; (3) the fight between the FBI’s strait-laced Presbyterian Colin Fleming and the CIA’s Jesuit-educated Paul Devereaux, who runs an ultra-secret program to obliterate Osama bin Laden c.s. Who also, because of his background, applies more flexible standards: should a pawn be punished harshly for his horrible crimes (Colin), or be used and protected at all cost to serve a higher aim and help prevent an impending, much greater disaster (Paul)?

    FF has written high-quality thrillers for over 40 years. In the 1970s, his bestselling novels ‘The Day of the Jackal’, ‘The Odessa File’ and ‘The Dogs of War’ became successful films. But the list of books and stories by FF turned into movies has continued to the present day because ‘The Avenger’ has been made into a film too. His books are superbly plotted, have ‘flow’, i.e. read pleasantly and are always well researched. Key characters are brilliant creations. And, in case of the brutal, fictitious nation of San Martín (‘Spanish Guyana’), another fiction is created .
    Deep book, perfectly plotted and written, and surely to be liked by readers who enjoy action within a plausible context.

    Positieve punten

    • Spannend
    • Meeslepend verhaal
    • Goed plot

    Dit boek van Frederick Forsyth leg je met moeite opzij; het is weer zo'n knap geschreven thriller die we met een gerust hart literair mogen noemen.
    Van af de eerst even bladzijde word je meegesleept in het verhaal over een jonge Amerikaanse vrijwilliger in Bosnië in de jaren negentig van de 20ste eeuw.
    Lees en huiver!
