Since then he has written twelve novels which have been bestsellers around the world: \u003ci\u003eThe Odessa File\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Dogs of War,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Alternative\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth Protocol\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Negotiator\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Deceiver\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fist of God\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIcon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAvenger\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Afghan\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Cobra \u003c\/i\u003eand, most recently, \u003ci\u003eThe Kill List\u003c\/i\u003e.

So I will just say that this is one of the most exciting and enjoyable accounts of an author’s life, in vaguely chronological order and written by the author himself, that I have ever read. * The Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eThe comparison with Bond is apt . . . it may well be the best book he has ever written. * Daily Mail *\u003cbr\u003eIf there is one memoir to read this autumn, it's Frederick Forsyth's extraordinary life story, \u003ci\u003eThe Outsider\u003c\/i\u003e, which reads like a James Bond novel. The author of \u003ci\u003eThe Day Of The Jackal\u003c\/i\u003e tells his own story and it's clear where the inspiration for so many of his best-selling thrillers came from when you read about his own life, beginning as the RAF's youngest pilot at the age of 19 and carrying on through being captured by the Stasi and threatened by the IRA. * Irish Independent *\u003cbr\u003eEnjoyed Freddie Forsyth last night. Boy has he lived a full life! And a life so beyond anything most of us can imagine, full of coups, civil wars, spies, and most importantly, typewriters. Great stories. -- Simon Mayo * Radio 2 Drivetime blog *\u003cbr\u003eIn this engaging level-headed memoir . . . he reminds me of Ian Fleming, a fellow Europhile (in the cultural rather than political sense_ who also honed his writing skills at Reuters. Fleming is more elegant, more playful; Forsyth has more balls. * Literary Review *\u003cbr\u003eThere’s plenty of sex and subterfuge, with close shaves, hairy escapades and hints of involvement with the intelligence services . . . ultimately, \u003ci\u003eThe Outsider \u003c\/i\u003eis as good a read as any of the thrillers. If you’re looking for thrills and spills, you’ll find them. * Country Life *","brand":"Transworld Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48735152144727,"sku":"9780552171700","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780552171700.jpg?v=1723810045","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-outsider-9780552171700","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
