Format:Mass Market Paperback
Although he makes a few technical errors (he's not Tom Clancy), the author is able to convince readers that Christian Hatcher is a real former secret agent/assassin with a conscience and sense of duty and what's right. The bad guys are truly evil and deserving of the death he gives them, the women are beautiful AND intelligent, the action is fast moving, the descriptions lush and accurate.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY BOOK THAT I READ IN 2 DAYS. THE BOOK JUST CAPTURES YOU. WILLIAM DIEHL DOES A GREAT JOB ON THIS ONE. AS I WAS READING THE BOOK IT FELT AS IF I WAS WATCHING A MOVIE. EACH SCENE DREW OUT IT'S OWN PICTURE THAT CONNECTED TO EACHOTHER AT THE END. AWSOME.

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.

The most action packed book ever!
This book captures the mind from cover to cover. Hatcher is the epitomy of a true warrior. He is the definition of a self-made man.
