About this listen

The kidnapping of a young man on a country road in Oxfordshire is but the first brutal step in a ruthless plan to force the President of the United States out of office. If it succeeds, he will be psychologically and emotionally destroyed. Only one man can stop it - Quinn, the world's foremost Negotiator, who must bargain for the life of an innocent man, unaware that ransom was never the kidnapper's real objective...

The Negotiator unfolds with the spellbinding excitement, unceasing surprise and riveting detail that are the hallmarks of Frederick Forsyth, the master storyteller.

Really enjoyed listening to this book - keeps one engrossed. Amazing performance from Steven Pacey as ever. Good dog walking/lying on the beach stuff.

Exciting if slightly old fashioned

I loved the story and the espionage. If i had been reading it, it’s unlikely i would have persevered through the dense stage setting at the beginning but it was easy to listen to and worth persevering as the action and dialogue sped up, and the numerous names at the start didn’t need deep concentration or remembering. Forsyth has an incredible breath of knowledge of the world stage and events and I enjoyed learning as I listened.
Some of the Russian pronunciation was off in places and the varying American accents were irritating at times but on the whole it was excellently read and Pacey’s voice, tone, intonation etc were impeccable!
I listened in recovery in a hospital bed and it was a great read!

Great audible read!

Although the first few chapters were a bit slow as they set the scene, the story soon picked up and had me guessing until the end.
The reading and writing were both first class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book.
