Disappointing - reads like a newspaper report not a novel.

Una novela más de espías a mayor gloria de EEUU y su política exterior, en este caso, la lucha contra la droga. Novela muy simple y poco recomendable. Es una lástima la manera en la que ha perdido el norte Frederick Forsyth en los últimos años.

Karge Durchschnittskost von einem Thrillerautor, der es eigentlich besser kann. Muss man nicht gelesen haben.

The Cobra reads as though it were written by another author who wanted to mimic Forsyth's style and plotting but had nothing new to add. Certain characterization passages were lifted almost verbatim from sections of Avenger. The plot is essentially a one-track story with none of the intricacy that characterizes Forsyth's best work.

Do it yourself manual for you if you want to break the back of drug mafia. Every page predictable.

Disappointing. I can't believe that this book is written by Frederick Forsyth
