Story
A collection of five suspenseful gems by master storyteller Frederick Forsyth, best-selling author of The Day of the Jackal and The Odessa File. Justice does not always come easily, and it comes in many guises. On the seedier side of London, a shopkeeper witnesses a brutal beating in The Veteran. In a better neighborhood, a famous London auction house is scammed in The Art of the Matter. And there's more … the other stories venture to a persecution in 16th century Sienna, a mid-flight drug smuggling heist, and the lone survivor of Custer's Last Stand. The voices of narrators Patrick MacNee, Bruce Boxleitner, and Christopher Casanove truly compliments the author's genius. Mixing together the elements of great suspense - revenge, mystery, murder and deception - this collection is Forsyth at his best.

Story
Twelve hundred British soldiers isolated on the small island of Kheros off the Turkish coast, waiting to die. Twelve hundred lives in jeopardy, lives that could be saved if only the guns could be silenced. The guns of Navarone, vigilant, savage and catastrophically accurate. Navarone itself, grim bastion of narrow straits manned by a mixed garrison of Germans and Italians, an apparently impregnable iron fortress.

Still love it
This was the first real book I remember reading. The start of loving to read, I still remember being gripped by the cat and mouse chase.
Excellent narration.

A Masterpiece
Freddie Forsyth’s first and best novel remains a masterpiece of thriller writing. The gold standard. David Rintoul’s rendition does it justice as well. Compelling listening and not for the first or last time for me.

Even better than the great film
After enjoying Forsyth's biography The Outsider, I decided to listening to this audiobook even though I've enjoyed the film several times over recent years. So glad I did as it is great story. David Rintoul is one of my fabourite narrators.

Great story! Great narration!
Great story! Great narration!
Sometimes the narrative is overly detailed, but it works overall. The narrator reads quickly and sometimes it's difficult to follow along with all the detail.
The narrator's volume is varied, which is good, but sometimes he gets very quiet and is difficult to hear. Turning up the volume makes the subsequent narrative boom!
The narrator's French pronunciation is good, except his French 'r' pronunciation is a little clumsy. This is often the case with Anglophones.
Overall, the narrator's voice is excellent and suits the tone of the story. The story hooks you and makes you want to know what's going to happen next, every step of the way!

Forsyth’s Jackal
Excellent story well told. Typical excessive detailed description but ok style. Problematic description of Kennedy’s killing by an individual, crazed, madman. Suggests inconsistency in author’s intellectual approach.

Stunning Thriller
Still one of the very best thrillers read by the outstanding David Rintoul.
An intelligent story without the need for explosions and action on every page.
Gives an idea of how such an event might actually be planned and how a real detective would go about the investigation.

Excellent suspense and drama
Frederick Forsyth is a brilliant writer. The story is a classic and holds the reader from page 1. David Rintoul is an excellent reader and his accent matches the story and location perfectly. Highly recommended for lovers of suspense, drama and events of modern politics and history.
