The Kill List: a top secret catalogue of names held at the highest level of the US government. On it, those men and women who would threaten the worlds security. And at the top of it, The Preacher, a radical Islamic cleric whose sermons inspire his followers to kill high profile Western targets in the name of God. As the bodies begin to pile up in America, Great Britain and across Europe, the message goes out: discover this mans identity, locate him and take him out.

Forsyth Frederick shows once again he's a master of the political thriller by taking a simple but completely original idea and turning it into a compelling story. The unnamed Obama-like U.S. president, disgusted by the horrors wrought by illegal drug trafficking, decides to bring the entire weight and resources of the federal government against the international cocaine trade. He first declares drug traders and their cartels to be terrorists, subjecting them to new and extensive legal procedures, then he brings in ex-CIA director Paul Devereaux to head the team that will implement the effort (...)

It has taken a lot time and work for Fiona Bristow to find the peace that she has in her new life on Orca Island, off the coast of Seattle. After a serial killer destroyed everything, Fiona rebuilt on this quiet island, starting her own dog-training school and volunteering with canine search and rescue programs. Nearly simultaneously two things--one good and one bad--appear in her life, shaking her calm: the good thing is Simon Doyle and his puppy Jaws; the very bad is a copycat killer with his eye on Fiona. This is an absorbing romantic suspense novel from the master Nora Roberts.

Frederick Forsyth presenta aquí tres relatos tan originales como inquietantes. En El guía, un piloto de caza extraviado en el cielo invernal del mar del Norte, está a punto de sucumbir a causa de una avería, pero se salva merced a la aparición de un misterioso avión que le conduce hasta una base. En Chantaje, un inesperado final rompe el modelo clásico con que suele tratarse esta temática. Finalmente, en Cuestión zanjada se ofrece una reflexión acerca de las cosas y los actos de que desistiríamos cuando ya se han consumado. Los tres relatos, absolutamente independientes, están unidos secretamente por el hilo de la originalidad y la maestra narrativa.

"The master is back," the promo goes, "with his best thriller since The Day of the Jackal." A bold statement: while no Jackal, this strong and memorable novel is his best in decades, and as good as The Odessa File and The Dogs of War. It is the story of vigilante Cal Dexter's pursuit of a Serbian warlord into the jungles of the fictional Republic of San Martin. Dexter, former Vietnam tunnel rat, now small-town attorney and clandestine kidnapper of refugees from justice, is after Zoran Zilic, a gangster who has escaped Serbia with a fortune but not before savagely killing an American aid worker who happens to be the grandson of a billionaire mining magnate. It's the magnate who sets in motion the operation against Zilic, first through a man known as "The Tracker," who locates him, then via the Avenger, whose task is to bring Zilic to American justice. But Zilic is protected in his South American jungle compound not only by the best security money can buy but also by a top FBI man who plans to use the warlord to help take out a dangerous terrorist named Usama bin Laden; much of the narrative takes place within weeks of 9/11, and is laced with irony. Forsyth fans won't be surprised that the action, always exciting, is supported by numerous briefings on matters geopolitical, historical and scientific; with Jackal, Forsyth established the now traditional formula of thrillers that educate as well as entertain. The digressions are frequent early on but no page lacks interest and the novel's second half, which focuses on the Avenger's attempted snatch of Zilic, is pure gold. This will hit bestseller lists high and hard and a sequel seems likely.

Este libro relata la historia verídica en que se basó el gran bestseller Los perros de la guerra . En esta contundente denuncia de la guerra civil nigeriana, Forsyth desentraña los orígenes de la contienda hasta sus mismas raices, que arrancan de las diferencias tribales.

Frederick Forsyth Le Vétéran Quelle que soit l'histoire : vengeance tardive, espionnage international, escroquerie au miracle, trafic de drogue ou trafic d'art... le talent de l'auteur du Quatrième Protocole et de L'Alternative du Diable est incontestable. Plus efficace que jamais, la «mécanique Forsyth» a encore frappé !

The quest to find Ricky's murderer leads Edmond to Cal Dexter, ex-Vietnam Special Forces, the one man who could bring the killer to justice. But what starts as a personal, domestic tragedy soon explodes into a terrifying drama on the centre stage of world terrorism.

"Frederick Forsyth has seen it all. And yet he lived to tell the tale. 'We all make mistakes, but starting the Third World War would have been a rather large one. To this day, I still maintain it was not entirely my fault. But I'm getting ahead of myself. During the course of my life, I've barely escaped the wrath of an arms dealer in Hamburg, been strafed by a MiG during the Nigerian civil war, and landed during a bloody coup in Guinea-Bissau. The Stasi arrested me, the Israelis regaled me, the IRA prompted a quick move from Ireland to England, and a certain attractive Czech secret police agent well, her actions were a bit more intimate. And that's just for starters. All of that I saw from the inside. But all that time I was, nonetheless, an outsider.' Trained first as a pilot, then as a journalist, Frederick Forsyth finally turned to fiction and became one of the most lauded thriller writers of our time. As exciting as his novels, Forsyth's autobiography is a candid look at an extraordinary life lived to the full, a life whose unique experiences have provided rich inspiration for thirteen internationally bestselling thrillers."
