Blockbuster. Eine brutale Geschichte über Rache und persönliche Gerechtigkeit, ausgeführt von einem angeheuerten Profi, der nur spezielle Fälle übernimmt. Spannend von Anfang bis Ende. Geradlinige Handlung die dennoch zahllose Überraschungen und aha-momente bereithält. Alles wirkt real, diese Geschichte könnte passiert sein. Ich habe dieses Buch mindestens 15 mal gelesen, und es ist immer noch spannend. Immer noch gut. Ich warte seit 20 Jahren auf den Kinofilm.
I have a love-hate relationship with Frederick Forsyth's books. I hate most of his political views and I don't think that he's a particularly well-versed writer. Still, he succeeds every time in me wanting to know how the story ends, so he must do something right even if I cannot spell exactly what this is. This time it's about a Vietnam vet who uses his special skill-set to go after a yugoslavian war criminal who murdered a young idealistic american during the Balcan war. Unluckily this war criminal has been recruited by CIA for their war against terrorism, so he has a lot more enemies than he is initially aware of. The book poses some interesting questions about responsibility, loyalty and guilt (with regard to international politics). As said before, I don't agree with a lot of Forsysth's comments, so it's quite interesting to see how the events go during the course of the book. So what it comes down to is an entertaining lecture within an historical context which touches on some questions on topics we're still looking for the answers to.
