Enter to win one of 25 advance reading copies of Frederick Forsyth's THE KILL LIST. An extraordinary cutting-edge suspense novel from the master of international intrigue and #1 New York Times–bestselling author. In Virginia, there is an agency bearing the bland name of Technical Operations Support Activity, or TOSA. Its one mission is to track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short document known as the Kill List. TOSA actually exists. So does the Kill List. Added to it is a new name: a terrorist of frightening effectiveness called the Preacher, who radicalizes young Muslims abroad to carry out assassinations. Unfortunately for him, one of the kills is a retired Marine general, whose son is TOSA’s top hunter of men. He has spent the last six years at his job. He knows nothing about his target’s name, face, or location. He realizes his search will take him to places where few could survive. But the Preacher has made it personal now. The hunt is on.

A chilling story of modern terrorism from the grandmaster of international intrigue. Combining meticulous research with crisp narratives and plots as current as the headlines, Forsyth shows us the world as it is in a way that few have ever been able to equal. And the world as it is today is a very scary place. When British and American intelligence catch wind of a major Al Qaeda operation in the works, they instantly galvanize- but to do what? They know nothing about it: the what, where, or when. They have no sources in Al Qaeda, and it's impossible to plant someone. Impossible, unless . . . The Afghan is Izmat Khan, a five-year prisoner of Guantánamo Bay and a former senior commander of the Taliban. The Afghan is also Colonel Mike Martin, a twenty-five-year veteran of war zones around the world-a dark, lean man born and raised in Iraq. In an attempt to stave off disaster, the intelligence agencies will try to do what no one has ever done before-pass off a Westerner as an Arab among Arabs-pass off Martin as the trusted Khan. It will require extraordinary preparation, and then extraordinary luck, for nothing can truly prepare Martin for the dark and shifting world into which he is about to enter. Or for the terrible things he will find there. Filled with remarkable detail and compulsive drama, The Afghan is further proof that Forsyth is truly master of suspense.

What if you had complete carte blanche to fight evil? Nothing held back, nothing off the table. What would you do? The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, The Afghan – the books of Frederick Forsyth have virtually helped define the international thriller as we know it today. Combining meticulous research with crisp narratives and plots as current as the headlines, Forsyth shows us the world the way it is, in a way that few have ever been able to equal. And here is the world the way it is: For decades, the United States has been fighting the international drug trade, and losing. Thousands of tons a year hit the streets. Billions of dollars of profit make the drug cartels the most powerful organizations in the world. Nothing the world’s governments have done had made more than the slightest dent. Until one man is asked by the American President and the British Prime Minister to take charge. His name is Paul Devereaux, and he used to run Special Operations for the CIA before they retired him for being, well, a little too ruthless. Which is exactly what the situation calls for now. He can have anything he requires, do anything he thinks necessary. No questions asked. And the war is on – though who the ultimate winner will be, no one can tell…
