Those who remember the earlier works of the writer Frederick Forsyth will be keenly anticipating The Cobra. Those who haven’t read him for a long time may afford to approach the book as a new reader. Though his reputation for writing page turners (so exciting in fact you would stay up late to find out what happened next) would definitely affect your judgment positively when you take a decision whether to read The Cobra or not.p>

Everything at His Disposal

At the same time, it must be said The Cobra is different from the earlier novels from Frederick Forsyth. The concept of the book is the first reason. The Cobra is the nickname of the retired CIA operative who is entrusted a task by the US president to destroy the drug cartels of the world. Cobra asks for carte blanche to accomplish the task (which means he doesn’t believe the task is impossible). Men, money, resources – he has everything at his disposal.

First Stage Belongs To Preparation

He spends one year for the preparation of the task. For the readers, however, it means nothing exciting (no action) takes place in the first half of the book. Although the readers are aware the drug cartels are utterly ruthless and that they engage in plenty of violence, the book doesn’t turn out to be that scary after all. The book is fairly detailed when it talks about the preparation stage, you would enjoy every detail given in the first stage of The Cobra.

Twists Are There In The Cobra

Those used to this genre of writing expect twists and you will find them here too (though you cannot confine the book to the thriller genre only). The climax is really surprising and you don’t really know anything when you reach the end and you reach there unexpectedly. The Frederick Forsyth book will just fascinate you if you like to see details and keep track of all you have read. Several wheels have been put in motion in one go, and it takes work to keep track of them all. There is a handy list of the characters given in the book and you may need to refer to them time to time unless you have a great memory.

Is It Completely Fiction?

Remember, everything is not going to be obvious from the first page itself, you need to figure out many things as you read The Cobra. If you lose track of what some of the characters are doing there, there is a gist of the paragraph given which will help you find it out. Overall it is an international intriguing thriller and you never know which part is fiction and what has come from real life events.
