The Afghan is a 2006 thriller novel by Frederick Forsyth.

… reaped mixed reviews.

I give it a mixed review, as well.

Forsyth is author of The Day of the Jackal (1971), perhaps the first Thriller I ever loved.

The plot of Afghan is superb — yet wildly unbelievable at times.

I do have one friend who I think will like it as a regift.
