Meticulous research, crisp narratives, plots as current as today's headlines-Frederick Forsyth has helped define the international thriller as we know it. And now he does it again. What if you had carte blanche to fight evil? Nothing held back, nothing off the table. What would you do? For decades, the world has been fighting the drug cartels, and losing, their billions of dollars making them the most powerful and destructive organizations on earth. Until one man is asked to take charge. Paul Devereaux used to run Special Operations for the CIA before they retired him for being too ruthless.

Add a CommentMy first Forsyth. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'll be reading more. A well written and organized implementation of an impossible(?) hypothesis. Morally acceptable ending??
Fast-paced, easy read that keeps you interested and turning the page.
A good read with lots of detail. I read late into the night as it did capture my attendtion. Didn't end as I had expected, and was a little disappointed.
Given Forsyth's standards, Cobra is disappointing. Lots of facts about drugs moving from Colombia throughout the world and I am sure all the facts were researched, but that's the problem with the book: its a book of facts, not a story. Each "fact" is presented to the readers but there is nothing gripping happening like in his previous thriller books for which he became famous. Disappointed.
