The Veteran and Other Stories
Five short suspense stories by Frederick Forsyth.
The Outsider
Frederick Forsyth has seen it all. And 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 Iâe(tm)m getting ahead of myself. During the course of my life, Iâe(tm)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 âe" well, her actions were a bit more intimate. And thatâe(tm)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, Forsythâe(tm)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.
Frederick Forsyth
Written with exclusive access to Frederick Forsyth and supported in full by him, this official book provides an in-depth look at the novelist and his work. Using previously unpublished material, and drawing from several extensive interviews with Forsyth, author Craig Cabell offers both detailed biography and a critical study of all Forsyth's books in order of publication. Forsyth, notoriously reticent on these matters in the past, talks openly about how he researches his work, discusses his own political beliefs and explains the background to each novel. Craig has also talked to many of Forsyth's inner circle, including Lord Janner, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Edward Fox and Derek Jacobi. With a section on movies made from Forsyth's books and a detailed bibliography, this is the definitive companion to one of the most accomplished thriller writers of a generation.
The Day of the Jackal
#1 "New York Times" bestselling author Frederick Forsyth's unforgettable novel of a conspiracy, a killer, and the one man who can stop him... He is known only as "The Jackal"--a cold, calculating assassin without emotion, or loyalty, or equal. He's just received a contract from an enigmatic employer to eliminate one of the most heavily guarded men in the world--Charles De Gaulle, president of France. It is only a twist of fate that allows the authorities to discover the plot. They know next to nothing--only that the assassin is on the move. To track him, they dispatch their finest detective, Claude Lebel, on a manhunt that will push him to his limit, in a race to stop an assassin's bullet from reaching its target.
The Miracle (Storycuts)
An American couple on holiday in the atmospheric Italian town of Siena are on their way to witness the time-honoured Palio horse race. When they are waylaid they end up in a quiet courtyard being told a mesmerising story by a strange young man. It is an unforgettable tale that begins with the persecution of a young nun in the turbulent days of the sixteenth century and culminates in the bitter German retreat from Italy. Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously published in the collection The Veteran.
