The Kill List - New By Frederick Forsyth out August 20th
Amazon ^

Posted on 07/24/2013 8:44:13 AM PDT by Perdogg

"In Virginia, there is an agency bearing the bland name of Technical Operations Support Activity, or TOSA. Its one mission is to track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short document known as the Kill List. TOSA actually exists. So does the Kill List.

Added to it is a new name: a terrorist of frightening effectiveness called the Preacher, who radicalizes young Muslims abroad to carry out assassinations. Unfortunately for him, one of the kills is a retired Marine general, whose son is TOSA’s top hunter of men.

He has spent the last six years at his job. He knows nothing about his target’s name, face, or location. He realizes his search will take him to places where few could survive. But the Preacher has made it personal now. The hunt is on."

The novel has already been picked up to be made into a movie.

FF is on my must-read list. It will be interesting to see what group Hollywood chooses to substitute for the Muzzies in the movie treatment. Neo-nazis as in The Sum of All Fears?

His last few have been really good.

The Avenger, The Afghan.

Have you read The Veteran, and short stories published with it?

.
“Slight” modifications will be made to the Hollywood movie version by substituting Quakers for Muslims.

Than was a gut-wrencher.

I really liked the ending to the Veteran.

Wow he is still alive and writing..My Father gave me his “Day of the Jackal and the Odessa file to read.
That would have over 30 yrs ago..
Check out Daniel Silva he mixes history with a story involving his character Gabriel Allon.
I just read his trilogy involving the Vatican and the escape of Nazi war criminals..
Wiki Bishop Alois Hudal and Aktion 1005..
Very disturbing..
