Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book to read!
Review: This was the first Diehl's book I bought at college bookstore when I was a college student in late 80's (since the book was written in 1987, I probably bought it during that year or after). After I finished the book, I just loved it! That lead me to buy and read all of Diehl's books afterwards. All of his books or most were good. I bought a used Thai Horse book at used bookstore today because I wanted to read it again. I guess I just love Hatcher's character and perservence and that he never gave up hope.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW
Review: William Diehl does know how to tell story. He is comparable to the likes of Forsyth and Follet.

Thai Horse is a very well researched novel , rich in detail, and full of twists and surprises. The characters have been very well etched out and an oriental environment has been created which engulfs the reader while he is reading the book.

I recommend this book to all readers of the thriller genre.

Summary: First among equals.
Review: With the whispering assassin, Diehl has created a verysatisfying hero. Christian Hatcher is the strong, silent type who is also a gentle, caring lover. He's a fairly simple - even gullible - character, driven for most of his life by other people's ambitions and machinations, but finally starting to realise his own value to himself.

Nonetheless, he is set on an adventure by the one person he really wants to see either dead, or in jail: the self-same man who framed nhim and sent him to Lops Boxes.

But who is manipulating whom? The plot thickens. There's a man-eating tiger, there are scenes of insane barbarity and passages of tender intimacy.

One note: you'll have to put yourself firmly into the '80s, when the action happens.

The plot, as I said, is convoluted, although based on a simple premise: Hatcher, a man wronged, is asked by his betrayer to find an old friend, the son of a respected, dying General.

Great stuff. Another book I've stopped lending out...

First among equals? Yes. I've enjoyed all William Diehl's books - but this is his best, by a short whisker. Buy it. It's a great read.
