Highlights:
- Each story has its own highlights but if there is one thing that is common to them all - It is the level of detail at which Forsyth narrates. I saw a tagline that befits him wonderfully - "With Forsyth, you live and learn".
- The psychic twist to the story of Rome & the brilliant climax of 'The Veteran'
- The drug trafficking story & the one on the west were gripping (especially the wilderness depicted in 'The whispering wind' was fascinating) but they had confusing ends. I am yet to fathom them accurately.
