The Afghan

Just completed “The Afghan” by Frederick Forsyth of “The Day of the Jackal” fame.



An excellent book, I just love spy / crime thrillers. I particularly liked this one because the “star” is more human, not the usual chaps who have mastered eight martial arts and can kill you in three different ways with a table tennis ball and chewing gum.
I particularly liked how it starts “If the young Talib bodyguard had known that making the cell phone call would kill him, he would not have made it, but he didn’t, so he did and it did”. The end is however sad.

Just kicked off with Ludlum’s “Prometheus Deception”. Unputdownable…
