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.

One too many
The outline plan for the story was potentially good. It was timely and exciting. The writing lacked any new ideas, and a number of previously used lines (in other books by the same author) were reused. Overall disappointing .

As ever, only the best from Frederick Forsyth
Frederick Forsyth never fails to hold his audience. The plot, the detail and the gripping conclusion are all up to the highest standard. David Rintoul has a voice perfectly fitted to maintaining tension while keeping the listener wanting more. A great combination.

Amazing, very satisfying, great
Frederick Forsyth has surpassed himself with this little tome! Coupled with the superb narration of David Rintoul, they have delivered a rather smooth story. Even the terrible minefield of alphabet security soup is well laid out with enough background without trying to reinvent the wheel of acronyms. This present day tale well held my interest to the very last line, the characters from the Kremlin to West Wing to the hallowed halls of Westminster, yes even the Scots have a great showing, all without fail are definitely well drawn and fit together so well. The central figure portrays just so well, he leans ever so gently on your shoulder. This is the most well enjoyed and pleasurable book to me of recent times. I lift my cap to both you Frederick and David, excellent!

Feel good spy novel
The book does not have the usual Forsyth suspense and intrigue. It was TOO good to be true, however, it was entertaining and I enjoyed the fictional "win" the book tells.

Fantastic As Usual
I've noticed Fred Forsythe has actually become a more economical writer over the years. Around about the time of The Cobra especially, and now this book, he's much more, sort of, 'blockbuster thriller'. But it works because of his superior research and attention to detail and character, and the subsequent ability for the reader to suspend disbelief. All the way back in the days of The Day of the Jackal and other such books, he was a lot less sparing with his prose, and it sometimes appeared (to me at least) to be OVERLY concerned with details not necessarily connected to the main narrative. I'd find myself glossing over whole sections, searching for where the story reengaged. But he's 'reverse mellowed' now, so to speak. His work pumps along at a great pace and he doesn't concern himself with any unnecessary dross. Better and better. And David Rintoul is fantastic as ever. What a great pair.

Classic Forsyth
Great tale, in Forsyth's memorable style. Excellent performance by the reader. I wonder if the fictional ending will, like so much fiction, be prophetic.

MASTERFUL
My perfect author and performance. Richly researched and detailed with intricate plotting and sub-plots from an imagination that is as equally "other worldly" as it is realistic.
Read the Dogs of War decades back and have always enjoyed everything written by Mr Forsyth. The ultimate Boy's Own thrill a minute , nuanced and human world of espionage.
