What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

The master storyteller - author of The Day of the Jackal - returns, with his most explosive thriller yet.

The Nazis may have lost the battle. But the war is just beginning...


Summer, 2025. A US senator is burned to death in his Washington townhouse. Masked gunmen massacre supporters during a football match in Berlin. And an old man is murdered while he sleeps in the dementia ward of a German hospital. Three apparently unconnected events, three steps on the countdown to apocalypse.

When journalist and podcaster Georg Miller starts joining the dots between them, he finds himself the target of professional killers. His investigation soon reveals that his would-be assassins are from an organisation known as the Odessa, a menacing and powerful Nazi group intent on regaining power.

The Odessa has spread its poison from a covert compound in the Bavarian countryside all the way to the halls of the American Capitol. And now, as their campaign to destabilise the Western political system accelerates, Georg must stop the next attack, before it changes the course of history…

Critics Review

Praise for Revenge of Odessa
-
Captures a real flavour of the groundbreaking original.
Sun
Cracking…like Forsyth’s best works, Revenge of Odessa, both entertains and unsettles.
Financial Times
Displays all of Forsyth's political prescience and reminds us how clever he was at forecasting our dangerous future.
Daily Mail
Published in the shadow of Forsyth’s passing, this sequel to the classic, half-a-century-old blockbuster brings the story of the Odessa bang up to date. Drawing on contemporary narratives, Forsyth and Kent expertly weave tension, pace and suspense into a ticking clock thriller that scarcely lets up from the electrifying opening to the explosive finale. Outstanding.
Vaseem Khan
The long-awaited sequel to...The Odessa File is every bit as dramatic as you'd expect.
Daily Express
I loved this book. Breakneck pace and an utterly gripping plot. I loved the characters, the twists and turns, the violence. I hardly had time to catch my breath.
Imran Mahmood
Return of Odessa is a terrific swan song from the man who changed the course of an entire genre of popular fiction.
Irish Independent
A grandmaster of thriller writing and one of its rising stars combine to deliver a blistering, all-too-plausible, tension-soaked tale that hits like a sniper’s bullet. Explosive, chilling, and impossible to put down.
Adam Hamdy
A twisting, up-to-the-minute thriller that effortlessly blends Forsyth’s classic style with Kent’s modern pace and punch. Revenge of Odessa is a book for the fraught geopolitics of our times.
