Book Review: A Masterpiece in Strategising Vengeance Through Pursuit of Justice
Summary: 5 Stars
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 Zoran's 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 and you can't 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!
