" This was not the best effort by the famed author. I feel the trouble lies in the fact there was virtually no suspense from start to finish. The Cobra is given the impossible task of ending the cocaine trade and he goes about doing just that. He is given a "blank" check so to speak, unlimited resources and answers to no one. At no time did the operation seem to be in danger and even less so the Cobra himself. "

" audio -- tried could not do it. I don't get high tech spy that are illogical. "
-




Mw | 2/9/2014
" The author is knowledgeable and clever, and this was an informative book. "
-




Mark | 1/18/2014
" Pretty good book, a detailed look at the Coke trade and how far reaching it is. "
-




Lynn | 1/13/2014
" Don't remember reading Forsyth before, but he's a good story teller. This kept my interest even though not my favorite genre. "
-




Jimmy Duarte Silva | 1/10/2014
" Liked and interesting reading about this theme "
-




Scott | 1/6/2014
" Fun to read, but the overall theme is one of American arrogance. Taking the war on drugs to the level of the cartels is fun in a whimsical way, like debating whether Batman can beat Spiderman or some such nonsense. Its sad too, because Forsyth is my FAVORITE writer in this genre. "
-




Tom | 12/17/2013
" Another master of the genre and a good tale. Not really a "predictable writer", but an entertainer who brings you into the story ever so subltey and keeps you going. "
-




Bronson | 12/13/2013
" Not my favorite Forsyth but he's still my favorite author of this genre. I was entertained "
-




Chetan | 11/27/2013
" Clearly it is a true Forsyth Book, a gr8 thriller, excellent narration, highly complex and a Master piece... "
-




Heidi | 9/24/2013
" Classic Forsyth. Enjoyed it. Lots of great twists. "
-




Scott Wright | 7/18/2013
" The narrator did a good job on this. Great character voices. I had a bit of an issue of Forsyth repeating information. I often wondered if I put in the wrong cd or something when I would hear the same thing yet again. That was found throughout. "

Penny | 9/4/2012
" Absolutely awful. Whatever happened to that exciting author I used to read? Has he gone walk-about? "
-




Joan | 7/8/2012
" This was my first time reading a Frederick Forsyth novel & I enjoyed it very much. I ordered 3 more of his thru B&N on my nook "
-




Elizabeth Holter | 4/3/2012
" Want to know how the cocaine industry works? Read The Cobra. Want suspense and/or character development? Look elsewhere. But getting to know how an industry whose end product wreaks nothing but havoc and sadness has some merit - and at least kept me reading. "
-




B | 10/28/2011
" Clever, but the narrative stays @ 50K feet and doesn't offer much in character depth or development "
-




Cameron | 9/19/2011
" Not Forsythe's best but still a fine read. "
-




Joseph | 9/15/2011
" This is my first frederick forsyth book. it was not fast paced, the build to the finish was very well handled with no loose ends at all. And the finish was nice, practical, acceptable (to me). "
-




Xavier | 8/9/2011
" The original quintessential thriller writer is back but falls short. "
-




David Hull | 6/14/2011
" A classic Frederick Forsyth thriller novel - terrorism, terrorists, international intrigue and suspense. It's all there. An easy read, compelling to the end! "
-




Aditya | 5/22/2011
" This is a classic. Dont expect too much though. What makes this a classic is the facts and the extent of reality.
"
-




Andrew | 4/23/2011
" Excellent story with a good finish - love to know if all the army/marine info is true.
"
-




Cheryl | 4/21/2011
" Drugs, politics, international boundaries, terrorism and drugs, human rights.... Fun stuff with a twisted ending.
"
-




Grabec | 4/9/2011
" I absolutely loved this book. Frederick Forsyth has written some of my favorite books and he is awesome. I have not written everything he has written but a few, including this one, was just outstanding. Could not put it down.
"
-




Ardita | 4/4/2011
" The worst Frederick Forsyth's book ever. Impossible plot. Ending was such a waste of main character.
I hope he's not following Clancy's plunge after "The Teeth of the Tiger".
"
-




Abhishek | 3/26/2011
" The storyline and plot was alrite but definitely nowhere near his best. A bit overwhelming .. but a nice read nonetheless. Forsyth is known for spinning stories involving a lot of characters and geographies and a well researched plot but he really overdid it this time.
"
-




Deanna | 3/12/2011
" Very exciting, but found the ending a bit disappointing (but if you think about it how could it have been any different)
"
-




Klaas | 2/26/2011
" Great action story, though i got the feeling the author had to cut pages in the end of the book. Last part is a summary of events that deserved it's own 3 parts. So felt a bit hurried in the end.
"
-




Lori | 2/23/2011
" disappointed, loved his earlier stuff but this read like a non fiction book
"
-




C22jrc | 2/22/2011
" Too much detail, not enough action.
Laughable reference to our president.
"
-




Randy | 2/15/2011
" Too much talk and not enough action, though I generally love his books.
"
-




GS | 2/13/2011
" Bit of a bore really, and I couldn't finish it. Skimmed through to the end where there is a bit of a twist, but all in all, avoidable. Forsyth has definitely lost his touch. The book seems as if it is just a collection of facts and characters and there is simply no way to connect with the story.
