      Their greatest weapon is fear... Years after the events of The Odessa File, Peter Miller's grandson, Georg, a successful podcaster living in Berlin, stumbles across evidence that the Odessa - a Nazi network whose goal is to return the Nazis to power and resume their murderous regime - has resurfaced. Georg picks up their trail and charts an organisation so insidious that it seems unstoppable. Hunted by the Odessa's agents, he learns that a series of recent terrorist atrocities are just the first step on their path to retribution. And their next attack could change the course of history. The race for answers takes Georg across continents, from the forests of Germany to the heart of Washington and into the hallowed halls of the White House itself. There, he finds a new generation of Nazis, on the brink of obtaining world power, who won't stop until democracy falls.

      Most weapons do what you tell them. Most weapons you can control. But what if the most dangerous weapon in the world isn't a smart missile or a stealth submarine or even an AI computer programme? What if it's a 17-year-old boy with a blisteringly brilliant mind, who can run rings around the most sophisticated security services across the globe, who can manipulate that weaponry and turn it against the superpowers themselves? How valuable would he be? And what wouldn't you do to get hold of him?

      FREDERICK FORSYTH HAS SEEN IT ALL. AND LIVED TO TELL THE TALE... At eighteen, Forsyth was the youngest pilot to qualify with the RAF. At twenty-five, he was stationed in East Berlin as a journalist during the Cold War. Before he turned thirty, he was in Africa controversially covering the bloodiest civil war in living memory. Three years later, broke and out of work, he wrote his game-changing first novel, The Day of the Jackal. He never looked back. Forsyth has seen some of the most exhilarating moments of the last century from the inside, travelling the world, once or twice on her majesty's secret service. He's been shot at, he's been arrested, he's even been seduced by an undercover agent. But all the while he felt he was an outsider. This is his story.

      The cocaine industry is worth billions of dollars a year to the drug cartels who spread their evil seed across Western society. Its usage causes incalculable misery, poverty and death. Slowly, gradually, inexorably it is spreading... One man, Paul Devereaux, intellectual, dedicated, utterly ruthless and ex-CIA special ops, is given what seems like an impossible task: stop the drug barons, whatever it costs. At his disposal, anything he wants - men, resources, money. He must assemble a team equal to the lawless men who control this deadly trade. And he must not cease until he has completed his mission. Up to now the drug trade have been accustomed to the forces of global law and order attempting to prevent them plying their business. And up to now those forces have played by the rules. But that is about to change. The rules no longer apply - and a dirty war is about to get a whole lot dirtier... From jungle airstrips in Brazil to the mangrove swamps of Guinea-Bissau, from the barrios of Bogota to the boardrooms of Washington, The Cobra peels back the terrifying reality of the global cocaine business as it's never been seen before. It is an extraordinarily breathtaking and contemporary thriller which demonstrates the master storyteller, Frederick Forsyth, at the very top of his game.

    • 2007

      The Nigerian civil war of the late 1960s was one of the first occasions when Western consciences were awakened and deeply affronted by the level of the suffering and the scale of the atrocity being played out in the African Continent.This book which marked Frederick Forsyth's transition from journalist to author is a record of one of the most brutal conflicts the Third World has ever suffered, it has become a classic of modern war reporting. But it is more than that. It voices one man's outrage not only at the extremes of human violence, but also at the duplicity and self-interest of the Western Governments - most notably, the British, who tacitly accepted or actively aided that violence.The combination of the dramatic events and the shocking exposures combined with the author's forthright and perceptive style makes The Biafra Story as compelling a read today as when it was first written.
