The Cobra

By: Frederick Forsyth

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

An extraordinary cutting-edge thriller from the New York Times-bestselling grandmaster of international suspense.

Meticulous research, crisp narratives, plots as current as today's headlines-Frederick Forsyth has helped define the international thriller as we know it. And now he does it again.

What if you had carte blanche to fight evil? Nothing held back, nothing off the table. What would you do? For decades, the world has been fighting the drug cartels, and losing, their billions of dollars making them the most powerful and destructive organizations on earth. Until one man is asked to take charge. Paul Devereaux used to run Special Operations for the CIA before they retired him for being too ruthless. Now he can have anything he requires, do anything he thinks necessary. No boundaries, no rules, no questions asked.

The war is on-though who the ultimate winner will be, no one can tell...

Critic reviews

Praise for Frederick Forsyth

“Forsyth is truly the world’s reigning master of suspense”—Los Angeles Times

“When it comes to espionage, international intrigue, and suspense, Frederick Forsyth is a master.”—The Washington Post Book World

Another Forsyth hit!!!!

another great book from the master story teller ...he is one of the best there is

sort of possible

well... all the things related in the book are feasible but there are two things that are disappointing... one the translations from English to Spanish (and back) were POOR to say the least with the use of modisms that are clearly Puerto Rican.
Second... the end was so bad that messed up the entire book.

a good story

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

A good yarn

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Good entertainment for the spy buff. A pleasurable listen without too much depth. Not a classic but well worth its price.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

In online vids, yes.

Great book as usual from Fredrick

Could not stop listening. Well written, plausible and genuine
You won’t be disappointed with this book and it’s story

The ending

I like that in fiction at least there was a real war against drugs and organized crime.
