Review

"Masterful."--Kirkus Reviews.

"Spellbinding. . .ten Forsyths for the price  of one, who could ask for anything  more?"--Forth Worth  Star-Telegram.

"Chillingly effective."--Publishers  Weekly

"Tense,  explosive and vivid, No Comeback  proves that Frederick Forsyth is truly the  world's reigning master of suspense. A warming bedside  companion."--Los Angeles Times

Product Description

Here are ten suspenseful, serpentine stories of betrayal, blackmail, murder, and revenge...all culminating in shocking twists of fate. Within these pages live a wealth of characters you will not soon forget...people whose lives become irrevocably trapped in a world of no comebacks, beyond the point of no return--from the manipulators and the manipulated to the ultra-rich capable of buying and selling human lives, to the everyday man maneuvered by circumstances into performing deadly acts of violence.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, light reading, Jun 22 2004

By	Bill Garrison (Oklahoma City, OK USA) - See all my reviews

This is my first time to read a short story collection, and my first time to read Forsyth. All ten stories were amusing but nothing startling or shocking. All stories were lighthearted, with no violence, sex or swearing.

Some reviewers mentioned each story ending with a twist, and that intrigued me because the "twist" ending hadn't gained popularity when these stories were written.

The twists were all pretty obvious but still each story was easy and fun to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars classic Forsyth enjoyable short fiction, Oct 13 2003

By	mackattack9988 "mackattack9988" (United States) - See all my reviews

Frederick Forsyth is an excellent author, and No Comebacks will serve as a fine introduction for readers new to his work. If you're already familiar with Forsyth, this is a collection of short stories similar to The Veteran. The stories in No Comebacks are shorter, usually about 20-30 pages each, ten in all. They are a little more lighthearted than the tone of Forsyth's novels, which are predominantly serious, and most involve an unexpected twist or turn along the way (sometimes saved for the very end). There's a story in here for everyone: a playboy in pursuit of a married woman, a victim of prejudice out for revenge, an answer to a mid-life crisis, a way to handle extortion, a response to a soiled reputation, and a unique way to settle an estate, to name a few. Timeless little episodes that are well-written and delightful to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of shorts, Mar 3 2003

By	Craig Clarke (New England) - See all my reviews

No Comebacks was the first short story collection that introduced me to the dark side of society in a way that felt incredibly real. I was a teenager when I came across an audiobook (read by Frank Muller) from Recorded Books.

I was riveted to these stories of people who--more often than not--get themselves into strange predicaments and have to resort to violence or the like to get out. Often the stories end with a twist on the level of O. Henry (except more dire, of course) where we learn something new about the character(s) that Forsyth had previously held back from us.

I have yet to read any of Forsyth's novels but I keep going back to this collection time and time again, enjoying them as much as the first time (perhaps more now that I am older and can identify with them more).
