Product Details

Product Description

Ingram

Listeners will be spellbound by this suspenseful narrative of Forsyth's renowned bestseller--about a high-priced international assassin hired to kill France's Charles de Gaulle. 11 cassettes. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

From the Publisher

The Jackal. A tall, blond Englishman with opaque, gray eyes. A killer at the top of his profession. A man unknown to any secret service in the world. An assassin with a contract to kill the world's most heavily guarded man.

One man with a rifle who can change the course of history. One man whose mission is so secretive not even his employers know his name. And as the minutes count down to the final act of execution, it seems that there is no power on earth that can stop the Jackal.

"The Day Of The Jackal makes such comparable books that The Manchurian Candidate and The Spy Who Came In From The Cold seems like Hardy Boy mysteries." -- The New York Times --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Children's Book, Aug 31 2005
This review is from: Day of the Jackal (Paperback)
I wanted a good copy of the book of the old film which I enjoyed so much. Unfortunately I didn't read the fine print on the ad. This is a shortened version (100 pages) of the complete book, sold elsewhere on Amazon. A good book, yes, but not the complete book I was hoping for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Then Average, April 7 2002
By John G. Hilliard (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Day of the Jackal (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the author's better books. The story and the plot are great, so much so they have been used in any number of other books and movies. This is the original and the best. Sure there are a lot of people to keep track of but that does not take away from homing in on the main characters and keeping them straight. Overall the writing is good and the author spends a good deal of time on the main characters. This is worth the time to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not to shabby, Feb 13 2002
By Bozo the clown (Ethiopia,Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Day of the Jackal (Mass Market Paperback)
through out this book from the very beginning your sucked into the aftermath of world war II in France. After a long fought struggle for Algeria the current president of France wishes to sighn Algeria over to the Arabs. In the novel you follow an assassin code named the Jackal. Through out the book you follow the Jackal as he sets up a near fool proof hit on president De Gaulle's life. This is the first book, or story for that matter were you can be either for, or againts the protagonist. The day of the Jackal is good book.The only thing I absolutely loathed about this novel was the use of French phrases, that made no sense to me. This is most likely the only one I'll ever legitimately read.

I most definately suggest this book ;)
