Sinossi
Washington, 2010. Il presidente degli Stati Uniti è più che mai deciso a riuscire dove tutti finora hanno fallito: sconfiggere i narcotrafficanti che riversano ogni anno tonnellate di cocaina nel mondo occidentale, causando povertà e morte. Ma per affrontare uomini così spietati occorre qualcuno come loro, forse peggiore di loro: il Cobra, Paul Devereaux, una delle menti più brillanti del controspionaggio mondiale. All'ex agente della CIA, sprezzante e privo di scrupoli, viene affidata l'operazione volta ad annientare l'impero economico creato dal capo del cartello colombiano, il potentissimo Don Diego Esteban. Devereaux ha carta bianca e piena fiducia da parte del presidente. Sceglie come suo stretto collaboratore una vecchia conoscenza, Calvin Dexter, l'unico dimostratosi in grado di batterlo sul suo terreno preferito: l'astuzia. I due orchestrano così la più micidiale offensiva mai tentata contro i narcos colombiani, scatenando una lotta senza precedenti. Con Il cobra Frederick Forsyth si riconferma maestro del thriller attingendo all'attualità più scottante e dando vita a un romanzo coinvolgente ed estremamente documentato dove, seguendo le rotte della droga dagli Stati Uniti al Sudamerica, passando per l'Africa fino all'Europa, fiction e realtà si intrecciano con un impatto formidabile sul lettore.

Recensioni
Awful. I only read it because I had nothing else and I was duly disappointed. My guess is that Mr Forsyth has had a few drinks one night and told his agreeable old chums "Bloody governments, no backbone! If they wanted to close the drug trade, they could do it! I could do it! Give me some guns and a Leggi tutto
When it comes to thrillers, Frederick Forsyth is right up there with the very best. Meticulous research, a compelling story line & unexpected twists & turns being the hallmarks of his writings. His every novel carries the same level of expectations as many of his previous great works. In ‘The Cobr Leggi tutto
I generally think twice about picking up a Forsyth for the level of detailing on topics that go over my head (literally too, come to think of it..). What normally swings it in favor is the solid story.So, it came as a surprise that The Cobra is a weak story that is shockingly one sided. Paul Devereux Leggi tutto
Frederick Forsyth is one of the greatest thriller writers of our modern era and this latest work by the veteran reveals the work of a pure master. In The Cobra , Forsyth takes on the cocaine industry eating away into the American and European societies. When the President Office of US decides to do aw Leggi tutto
I love Forsyth, but this is not my favourite title of his. The plot is well-founded: one man who has been provided with boundless powers to cut a hole in the US drugs traffic. Some meticulously researched background and a plausible plot - it had all the hallmarks of being another FF classic. However Leggi tutto
