The Afghan by author Frederick Forsyth

Author: Frederick Forsyth

Frederick Forsyth was a very big part of my growing up. I have read all of his books. His books are all action and adventure. Some of them are too tacky or dramatic beyond logic. But good fun, all in all.


The British and American intelligence catch a rumour in the wind of a major Al Qaeda operation being planned. But how can they infiltrate the ghost organization, which never has a fixed base or organized structure.




But they have the Afghan, a former senior commander of the Taliban and now in Guntanamo bay. So the MI6 and the FBI and CIA plan the most audacious of the audacious plans. They plan to send in Colonel Mike Martin as the Afghan, a pale face amogst the Arabs, the lion amongst the wolves. Will it work? Mike  is first taken into Afghanistan as a prisoner and then allowed to escape.


And amidst all this deception the true Afghan escapes due to a freak accident. And now it is a race against time to catch the Afghan, keep Mike safe and yet unravel the Al Qaeda plot
