THE MASTER RETURNS ONE LAST TIME
REVENGE OF ODESSA, A FINAL MISSION THAT WILL SHAKE THE WORLD
The legend of the spy thriller is back, and this time, it’s personal.
This October 22, the world stands on the brink of history as Frederick Forsyth, the unrivalled architect of the modern espionage novel and a former informant for MI6, joins forces with Tony Kent, former criminal barrister, political insider to deliver the most explosive thriller of the year, REVENGE OF ODESSA.
Now, Revenge of Odessa pulls readers back into the shadows.
Summer, 2025:
-
A US senator is burned alive in Washington.
-
Masked gunmen unleash terror at a Berlin football match.
- An old man is quietly murdered in a German hospital.
Three strikes. One terrifying truth.
The ODESSA never died. It’s back, more powerful, more ruthless, more real than ever.
This is no ordinary thriller. Frederick Forsyth doesn’t just write about espionage, he’s lived it. As a former MI6 informant, he brings chilling authenticity to every page. The result is a story that reads less like fiction and more like a classified dossier accidentally slipped into your hands.
This book marks the last literary mission of Frederick Forsyth, the man who gave us The Day of the Jackal, The Dogs of War, and The Odessa File. Forsyth redefined the genre with forensic precision and ice-cold storytelling. Now, he passes the torch to Kent, in a high-stakes handover that merges legacy with adrenaline.
Why do you NEED to read this:
-
Final book from Frederick Forsyth, a cultural and literary milestone.
-
A return to The Odessa File, one of the most iconic thrillers of the 20th century.
-
Written with Tony Kent, bringing real intelligence operations into fiction.

During the Biafran War, he had acted as an informant for MI6.
- The precision in his novels came from lived experience, not imagination.
