About the book

'Don't imagine you know what's going to happen next.' Mirror

'An action-injected tale...with a taut showdown and an ingenious twist.' Daily Mail
SOLDIER
Years ago, Cal Dexter was a Vietnam tunnel rat recruited to ferret out the enemy. Today, he's hired to pursue a new target - a dangerous, violent man, responsible for murdering an innocent aid worker. Dexter wants revenge, and he never misses his mark.

VIGILANTE
But the beast Dexter's hunting is Zilic, a Serbian warlord who is cocooned in a fortified South American compound with the best security money can buy. And it isn't long before Dexter's personal mission explodes into a drama on the centre stage of world terrorism.

AVENGER
As he draws a net around the killer, Dexter is led into a lethal trap. Then the CIA pick up his trail - and they will do anything to stop him, before his quest throws the world into chaos...

    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.
