I normally dislike short stories. I feel that there is usually not enough substance and there isn't enough time to develop characters. The book that I normally read usually are over 500 pages and closer to 1000 pages is the norm. However, I decided to try this one because I like Frederick Forsyth. There are 3 stories, all of them page turners. The author keeps your attention from the beginning to the end. Once started it is very difficult to put it down.

Lucid, vivid and delightfully readable, Forsyth is a master word-spinner and a master of meticulous detail.
