Customer Reviews

Over the top
Quinn must be Forsyth's most o.t.t. hero. This good-looking former Green Beret isn't just a crack shot & explosives expert. He speaks French, German, Dutch and Spanish well enough to convince the natives that he's one of them. He's a master tactitian with a high IQ, a great detective and a master of disguise. He can pick locks and break into - and escape from - a property guarded by electrified fences, trigger-happy bodyguards and free-range Dobermans. Wow! Whadda hero! And he's the world's best hostage negotiator, too. Just a bit too much to be a believable hero.
