hi this is gaurav srivastava from delhi well i am a die hard fan of this man. he has enough capability in his works so as to influence the life of many of his readers. i am pursuing engineering and i had known many things which i can never ever come to feel. i have been to places he narrated by just reading his works. his short story 'the miracle' is in fact a miracle. he is among those who are blessed by god. probably very few of the generation yet to come will know of him but for those who know what he is, he is like someone they can never describe they will never find a word to express themselves just as me. i am at maharaja agrasen institute of technology under indraprastha university at delhi and i have persuaded many of my fellow students to read at least 40-80 pages of his work and today they all are hungry to just get one more scrap work scribbled by this man. the impact is so strong that jeffrey archer and the others do not stand a chance i feel like i am reading something which needs some revision or perhaps i could give people something better.

[edit] Frederick is the best
Frederick forsyth's novels are some of the best works I've read. Thr knowledge base of this great man is amazing. We get a taste of investigative journalism when we read his novels. The Invaluable information this man provides concerning the working of various secretive agencies(govermental and non-govermental) is what sets him apart from the other authors of similar works. Add to that the straight and hard way of his writing and you have one of the greatest thriller writers of our times.

- Strongly agree. This guy is better than Jeffrey Archer.
[edit] André Malraux
Well, I think you could put an information about the publication of "The Day of the Jackal" in french. Because of André Malraux, Minister of Culture of France from 1960 to 1969, the book could be published in the country. The censure in France didn´t let the book be published because of the things about Charles de Gaulle and the argellians. But Malraux said that didn´t see reasons to censure the book once it has some cultural signification, which was agreed for various literary critics. Ken Bruce April 29, 2006 São Paulo, Brazil
- Eh, I've always wondered if the book was ever published in France. Had de Gaulle's historical presence in the country subsided enough to let some real history come out about him? 74.137.218.247 19:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jai Ganesh
Hi, This is Jai Ganesh from India. I believe Forsyth is a real genius when it comes to information and some of his plots are so geniune to be ignored as fiction. I am eagerly looking forward to read his latest novel "The Afghan". I read in the article published that some of his the facts he has narrated in his novels were true to the core. I still remember the assasination of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi - Former Prime minister of India. The technique used by the organisation (LTTE)for assasination is very close to that in the novel "The Negotiator". In both cases a belt bomb loaded with RDX is used during the assasination. No wonder the novel became very popular in India after the assasination.
- And you know the only real connection there is the kind of explosive device used? Ghandi was assassinated by a suicide bomber whereas the device used in the The Negotatior was remote detonated. Besides, there are as many conspiracy theories floating around about Ghandi's assassination as there is about the Kennedys' in the US. One belief that the woman who actually used used a boquet of flowers to conceal the explosives; and really considering it, a belt explosive seems kind of sophisticated for a rag-tag geurilla group like the LTTE.
[edit] Indian Fanbase
It's interesting to see that many of the comments here come from Indian fans. Do Forsyth's novels sell particularly well there? Lisiate 01:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
