oops dr.jb i didnt see this one first. i went
to the history section first and posted on the
kadal pura thread.

i have read all novels of forsyth and am searching
for a copy of "the biafra story".Is it available online?
Its very sad that he stopped his trade mark thrillers
after "ICON".
When i heard that he has come out of retirement with
"the phantom of the manhattan" i was over joyed and
immediately got hold of it. But i was greatly disappointed
by it.The feeling i got was, forsyth is getting old
and has forgotten his master touch.

hi bala,
The Phantom of Manhattan was basically a sequel to the Phantom Of the Opera, and hence did not give enough scope for Forsyth's trademark immaculate research, hence was more clasical than all his other novels.

Whatever has happened to the 'Old Responses'?

Guys, am reviving this thread for some nice snippets abt the master of intrigue, the God of fiction Frederick Forsyth

[Oldposts]

hi all,

read "the veteran". its ok, but certainly not amongst his better works

[Oldposts]

hi friends,

I recently read Forsyth's antho;ogy of short stories 'The veteran'. A real tour de force. Especially the title story('the triumph of justice' line was masterclass)

[Oldposts]

Especially "The Veteran" 's final twist will knock you out indeed, but the other stories in the anthology are top quality as well. Does this man have a research team available or something?)

Anyone out there knows of other short story anthologies by FF?

Forsth's no comebacks was a master piece.. It was revealing to find such a humorist in forsyth especially after reading day of the jackal, devil's alternative and odessa file.
