Summary

Canadian billionaire Steven Edmond's grandson was an aid volunteer in the former Yugoslavia. After he was murdered, Edmond sought revenge by hiring an ex-Vietnam special forces agent to hunt the killer down: Cal Dexter, ex-Vietnam Special Forces, the one man who could bring the killer to justice. But what starts as a personal, domestic tragedy soon explodes into a terrifying drama on the centre stage of world terrorism.

Critic reviews

"[N]o page lacks interest and the novel's second half...is pure gold." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Forsyth's extraordinary care with detail, his solid voice, and his exquisite pacing make this a totally engrossing thriller." ( Booklist)

Just a great storyteller.

Where does Avenger rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty good read 7 out of 10. I hadn't read Forsyth's stuff for a while but have kicked off with this book and just realyl enjoyed it. Found myself engrossed in the story and would recommend it to anyone who likes this type of yarn.

What other book might you compare Avenger to, and why?

It has to be COBRA the follow up to AVENGER.

Have you listened to any of Eric Conger’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not to my knowledge.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Great thriller.

Any additional comments?

Good story,well read

Good, if a little silly, thriller fun.

If you've read Forsyth before you'll know what you're going to get. Tight, twisting, well written stuff. A good story, a little silly with some dubious morality but if you take it for what it is, great fun.

Good easy riveting listen.

Good narration. But the author’s ability to replicate accents is terrible. Other than that not a bad performance.

Trouble trying to put it down

When you start listening, you just need to keep listening, it is trying to find the right moment to put it down. Always a little twist at the very end.
