First Published: 2001 Some stories also date from 2000. This is a compilation of new, short(ish) stories by Frederick Forsyth. These are the stories that were going to be published online as Quintet, but were never finished. They have now been published in book form, under the title The Veteran. The five stories included are: * The Veteran * The Miracle * The Citizen * The Art of the Matter * Whispering Wind
The stories are: Death of an Old Man, An African story, A Piece of Cake, Madame Rosette, Katina, Yesterday was Beautiful, They Shall not Grow, Beware of the Dog, Only This, and Someone Like You. These ten stories by the greatest of story tellers were all written in the 40's, and out of the experiences that the man himself had. This is definitely NOT Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, but rather tales of the unexpected with WW2 aircraft and pilots. Roald was a pilot himself, and here the voice of painful experience comes through.
