Forsyth is one of the greatest writers. I dont care what his leanings are, the man can write a book. Check out "The Fist of God" about Saddam getting a nuke, or "Icon" about a neo nazi taking over Russia. I have read all of his books except "Phantom". These two are my favorites..

Forsyth isn't the only prominent person to be afraid of computers. James Brown is said to have banned computer screens because he though someone could watch him from inside...

The thing is (and something I have to keep reminding myself), you can say more in fiction than you can in non-fiction often.

Check out "The Fist of God" about Saddam getting a nuke, or "Icon" about a neo nazi taking over Russia

Oh sure, force me to go and get some more books! I just hope you can live with yourself!

He's certainly one of my favorites, especially "The Dogs of War," "The Day of the Jackal," inter alia. I just finished "The Veteran," a collection of a half-dozen novellas. Definitely worth the read.
