Frederick Forsyth

Tony Kent

Captures a real flavour of the groundbreaking original.

Cracking…like Forsyth’s best works, Revenge of Odessa, both entertains and unsettles.

Displays all of Forsyth's political prescience and reminds us how clever he was at forecasting our dangerous future.

Published in the shadow of Forsyth’s passing, this sequel to the classic, half-a-century-old blockbuster brings the story of the Odessa bang up to date. Drawing on contemporary narratives, Forsyth and Kent expertly weave tension, pace and suspense into a ticking clock thriller that scarcely lets up from the electrifying opening to the explosive finale. Outstanding.

The long-awaited sequel to...The Odessa File is every bit as dramatic as you'd expect.

I loved this book. Breakneck pace and an utterly gripping plot. I loved the characters, the twists and turns, the violence. I hardly had time to catch my breath.

Return of Odessa is a terrific swan song from the man who changed the course of an entire genre of popular fiction.

A grandmaster of thriller writing and one of its rising stars combine to deliver a blistering, all-too-plausible, tension-soaked tale that hits like a sniper’s bullet. Explosive, chilling, and impossible to put down.

A twisting, up-to-the-minute thriller that effortlessly blends Forsyth’s classic style with Kent’s modern pace and punch. Revenge of Odessa is a book for the fraught geopolitics of our times.

A superb thriller…an absolute page-turner!

A brilliant sequel to the legendary The Odessa File. The book is shot through with the DNA of the master of the genre, the late, great Frederick Forsyth, but it has been brought bang up to date by Tony Kent, who has added his own brand of action-packed, gripping pace to make this an irresistible combination. The legacy of Forsyth lives on, with Kent at the helm.

Forsyth delivers a globe-spanning thriller that fuses history, espionage, and prophecy into a fitting farewell from the maestro of modern intrigue…The prose is lean, the details surgical… reads like the final report of a lifelong operative, delivered with the authority of someone who has spent years peering into the machinery of global power, and the human frailty that keeps it running.

A good old school thriller, with plenty of exciting action that keeps the reader gripped all the way to the unexpected conclusion. If you enjoyed Forsyth’s numerous previous works, then you’ll enjoy this one too

A year-zero, game-changing thriller, one of the most significant of all time.

Freddie Forsyth was the world’s first rockstar writer.

Compulsively readable … I was hypnotised.

When it comes to espionage, international intrigue and suspense, Frederick Forsyth is a master.

A perfect example of the adventure story . . . well written, entirely believable, with this intriguing, enigmatic character at its centre.

Forsyth deserves his place among the thriller greats.

The bestselling author of The Day of the Jackal returns with his most explosive book yet.
