The Kill List

De: Frederick Forsyth

Narrado por: George Guidall

An extraordinary cutting-edge suspense novel from the "king of the pack" (The Washington Times), number one New York Times best-selling author Frederick Forsyth.

In Northern Virginia, a secret agency named TOSA (Technical Operations Support Activity) has one mission: To track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short, very close-held document known as the Kill List.

Now a new name has been added: A terrorist of frightening effectiveness called the Preacher, who radicalizes young Muslims living abroad to carry out assassinations. Unfortunately for him, one of his targets is a retired Marine general, whose son is TOSA’s top tracker of men.

The Preacher has made it personal - and now the hunt is on...

Loved it.

This is the first I've heard of this author. I can't wait to hear another.

Excellent book, I would recommend it to anyone… Typical of the author.

I would recommend this book to anyone. It is an excellent read. It is gripping right from start to finish. I enjoyed the characters, the set up of the characters, the inclusion of actual history… It is a typical book of the author, absolutely fantastic as per usual. I have read quite a few of his books at this point and while not all are excellent, this one definitely is a keeper.

Great book

This is a great read enjoyed every page of it. Great writer excellent story something like this can happen and most likely has happened.

Right out of today's Headlines.

I believe I was reading about a certain President having a kill list. Great book scary concepts. Some of the technology involved is great but is it too great?

Frederick Forsyth Still Has It

Any additional comments?

I read The Day Of The Jackal in the early 1970s and The Odessa File a couple of years later and I was amazed. I have not read Forsyth since then and last week a friend spoke about this book. Frederick Forsyth can still create a timely story and keep you sitting in your car to find out what will happen next. He is deserving of a "Driveway Moments" award for keeping you so riveted that you are reluctant to get out of the car. This is a great book for George Guidall because he gets to use his talents for voices of many nationalities.

Today's Headlines

The use of the internet by terrorists is all too familiar. Not only are there people like "the preacher" in this book who convince people all over the world to commit acts of terrorism and kill innocent people. Others use the images of those acts to glorify this madness. I hope we have the will and the ability to find these people and stop them but I fear one is stopped and five appear. When you are dealing with people who want to die to make their point, what choice do you have than to hunt them, find them and end them.

Forsyth reminds why he is a Master

Any additional comments?

It's been a while since the last novel by Frederick Forsyth. This one makes it worth the wait. Likeable heroes, despicable villains, and a very plausible premise. No superhero stunts, just solid storytelling and clean action. I recommend this book highly. The only downside, and this is personal, is that the hero, Christopher Carson is known as Kit Carson. Not an auspicious state to associate a good guy with a murderer and bringer of war to the North American Indians.

Classic Frederick Foresyth

This book kept up the Foresyth tradition of attention grabbing storytelling infused with factual inside information on special forces and defense capabilities. I was sad when it ended.

Exciting Thriller

This beautifully read audio book is a meticulously detailed “page turner.” While it does require some suspension of disbelief, it has all the hallmarks of this genre. My only (slight) criticism is that it is too long in parts. However, it held my interest throughout and I can recommend it to anyone who wants an action piece which he or she can easily become involved in.
