Write-Up About Books The Veteran

A very much interesting collection of stories + novella. All the stories were well researched and I actually kept going back on online search engines or wikis to find more details on the events mentioned during the course of journey. Minute details captured make the painted picture more lively and vivid.Though all the stories had a twist in the tale that was not easy to predict, enough to give a rush of emotions when you turn on the last page, the novella 'Whispering Wind' was like a cherry on

I was surprised to find Forsyth writing so well across so many genres. I enjoyed this collection more than I expected. Although the genres were different it was clear he wrote them. The diligently researched and the small details almost over described will remind any reader of his more well known works.

Great stories from a master. I really enjoyed this.

After reading the book long-long ago, recently I had gone back to this collection out of desperation. I really wanted to assure myself that even out of simple and formulaic plots, one can create truly memorable pieces - if the tools are handled by a master.The book contains following stories:1. The Veteran2. The Art of the Matter3. The Miracle4. The Citizen5. Whispering WindThese are tales of revenge served cold and someone coming back from the cold to complete a circle begun long back.I repeat,

Turned out it's a series of 5 very different novelas (too long to be short stories in my mind). They are all very different, but all very well written and suspenseful, with a twist at the end. Most are set in England, but the last one which is almost long enough to be a novel, is set in the old west, with a little time travel element. Definitely a fun way to

This collection of short stories by Frederick Forsyth was engagingly vivid, well plotted, and displayed Forsuth's ability to write excellent short stories outside of the thriller genre. The stories are all written, to the extent that the fact that they were short stories didn't bother me (I usually prefer a novel over a short story.) The first story, The Veteran, was a interesting mystery story which gave me a new found appreciation for ability to create amazing word pictures using details. The

A fine collection of short stories involving a murder trial, a stylish con, a barbaric war story ending in a delayed romantic tragedy, a flight of conspiring smugglers and a world war doctor narrating his supernatural encounter. The stories are crisp and entertaining but not captivating enough due to its fast pace.
