When his best friend vanished, Christian Hatcher, the Shadow Warrior, had no choice. He had to follow the heroin pipeline . . . from Hong Kong to Bangkok, to the deepest darkness of Vietnam. The sensational new national bestseller by the author of Chameleon and Sharkey's Machine.
‘William Diehl has turned all the tools of the adventure-writing trade loose in his newest novel. Hot stuff, this Thai Horse. It’s got a hero who’s a mixture of Ollie North, James Bond, Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson, with a plot that takes us from Central America to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, New York and, briefly, to an island off Georgia, and combines elements of The Maltese Falcon, The Dirty Dozen, Sax Rohmer’s Fu Man Chu books and The Wizard of Oz. . . I was barely able to put this number down’
The Washington Post Book World
‘Mr Diehl knows how to tell a story, arid his novel moves along at a good pace’
New York Times Book Review
‘Accurate background detail and vivid .characterization lend authenticity to a scenario of nonstop chills and thrills’
Publishers Weekly
‘A superior adventure novel from the author of Sharky’s Machine. . . A taut plot, interesting sub-plots and good characterization are the hallmarks of the story. It’s exciting, plausibly horrific and light on the gung-ho excesses which usually stalk the genre’
Knave
‘Everything a summer beach read should be’
Time Out
