REVENGE OF ODESSA FREDRICK FORSYTH WITH TONY KENT
This book marks the last literary mission of Frederick Forsyth, the man who gave us The Day of the Jackal, The Dogs of War, and The Odessa File. Forsyth redefined the genre with forensic precision and ice-cold storytelling
A RETURN TO THE ODESSA FILES UNIVERSE
Half a century ago, The Odessa File tore open the dark underbelly of post-war Europe. It became a cultural phenomenon, redefining the spy thriller and inspiring generations of storytellers.
Now, Revenge of Odessa pulls readers back into the shadows.
Summer, 2025:
· A US senator is burned alive in Washington.
· Masked gunmen unleash terror at a Berlin football match.
· An old man is quietly murdered in a German hospital.
Three strikes. One terrifying truth.
The ODESSA never died. It’s back, more powerful, more ruthless, more real than ever.
This is no ordinary thriller. Frederick Forsyth doesn’t just write about espionage, he’s lived it. As a former MI6 informant, he brings chilling authenticity to every page. The result is a story that reads less like fiction and more like a classified dossier accidentally slipped into your hands.
This book marks the last literary mission of Frederick Forsyth, the man who gave us The Day of the Jackal, The Dogs of War, and The Odessa File. Forsyth redefined the genre with forensic precision and ice-cold storytelling. Now, he passes the torch to Kent, in a high-stakes handover that merges legacy with adrenaline.
