About this listen
Frederick Forsyth is back with a Avenger! A heart-stopping thriller of murder, intrigue, deception, and revenge
Attorney Calvin Dexter hangs his shingle in a quiet New Jersey town, has a reasonably successful practice, and takes the hills strong while triathlon training. But Dexter is no ordinary lawyer. On Sundays, he reads the paper and shuffles around his dark, empty house, trying to forget about a life he has lost forever.
Until, of course, Dexter reads something in the papers that sends him the necessary signal. Until one of the handful who know of Dexter's other life tries to contact him. For in a world that has forgotten right and wrong, few can settle a score like Cal Dexter can.
But the game is changing, and this time CIA agent Kevin McBride must find a way to stop Dexter before his quest for vengeance throws the world into chaos.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Story
From Frederick Forsyth, the grand master of international suspense, comes his most intriguing story ever - his own. For more than 40 years, Frederick Forsyth has been writing extraordinary real-world novels of intrigue, from the groundbreaking The Day of the Jackal to the prescient The Kill List. Whether writing about the murky world of arms dealers, the shadowy Nazi underground movement, or the intricacies of worldwide drug cartels, every plot has been chillingly plausible because every detail has been minutely researched.

Excellent Listen

Would you consider the audio edition of Avenger to be better than the print version?
Not sure - don't have the print version, but I thoroughly enjoyed Eric Conger's narration.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The author wove several stories together, causing more depth than if just one plot was in play. Because of this, all elements worked together to create a greater than usual thriller.Have you listened to any of Eric Conger’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I've listened to several. He definitely has a gift.Any additional comments?
I've got a few hundred audio books in my library and it is very rare that at any point I think, "I don't want this book to end." This was definitely one of those books!Didn't want this book to end!

Forsyth's prose is only OK but his research is meticulous and he builds his story carefully and meticulously. The narrator Eric Conger is OK somewhat dull initially but he seemed to grow into the role. I enjoyed this audiobook thoroughly.
