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.

Just a great storyteller.

It has to be COBRA the follow up to AVENGER.

Excellent
Thanks to Audible I’ve become a Forsyth devotee & I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I listened to The Cobra, the follow-up to Avenger, beforehand but despite being out of order it didn’t affect my enjoyment. If you like Forsyth then you’ll like this. Eric Conger was a good narrator too.

Well researched
A gripping and well researched story. I learned a lot about the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. But the narrator mispronounced several words, which was very weird and irritating.

Avenger-Not what I expected!
Would you listen to Avenger again? Why?
Yes, I would definitely listen again, there was so much to hear and compute, I listened to several passages more than once.
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the way that I was introduced to our hero, the story was set and then I was sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting!
Which character – as performed by Eric Conger – was your favourite?
Of course, The Avenger, was the one in which I was most interested. I enjoyed his two, separate characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I wasn't moved, but the death of Calvin's wife and child proved a necessity for his ability to become, The Avenger.

Great story, interestingly researched
Forsyth back to his best. Great story with lots of interesting and important historical background with a moral dilemma wound in. Well narrated apart from his efforts at an English accent and an appalling South African one, but it didn’t really matter.
