Revenge of Odessa

Praise for Revenge of Odessa * - *Captures a real flavour of the groundbreaking original. * Sun *Cracking…like Forsyth’s best works, Revenge of Odessa, both entertains and unsettles. * Financial Times *Displays all of Forsyth’s political prescience and reminds us how clever he was at forecasting our dangerous future. * Daily Mail *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. * Vaseem Khan *The long-awaited sequel to…The Odessa File is every bit as dramatic as you’d expect. * Daily Express *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. * Imran Mahmood *Return of Odessa is a terrific swan song from the man who changed the course of an entire genre of popular fiction. * Irish Independent *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. * Adam Hamdy *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. * Mason Cross *
