Frederic Forsyth

i would say most of FFs novels end in cliches.'fourth protocol' was very much thrilling in its theme,though the ending was not at all comparable to the greatness of the theme.i happened to read 'great flying stories' by the same man,it was very much disappointing..Odessa File,Day of Jackal are okay.Another novel worth mentioning is 'Dogs of War',which i would say,is his best.currently reading 'The Negotiator'.

How come nobody talks about Avenger, a slick and racy beauty of a thriller?

FF's research really is commendable, be it africa (dogs of war) or europe (odessa file, negotiator) or the middle east (fist of god), he seems so familiar with all of them as if it were all his backyard. Though it is almost impossible to judge which one is the best, i was particularly fascniated my the fist of god. one just cant figure out where facts end and fiction starts.

I have read Avenger. A slick thriller.

But still I feel his best 3 are (in the following order):

A) Negotiator
B) The Icon
C) Fist of God

I really apreciate Frederic, I am now for the fourth book and to me - the negociator. I really fail to imagine how he does that.The Jackal was fantastic

Madhurabarathi, I agree with you. I am in the middle of reading my 1st Frederic Forsyth book - the Avenger. I am totally hooked (still reading at 2:15 am when I know I will have to be up at 7:00 !!). I will eventually go through the whole of his books.
