About this ebook

X is an identity thief extraordinaire who steals the identity of the worst possible person! He soon becomes a fugitive, hunted by every intelligence agency in the world. The international adventures of this sardonic and amoral anti-hero combine the irony of The Third Man with the fast-paced thrills of The Bourne Identity.

To survive, X must use his talent for deceit and his chameleon-like ability to adopt one persona after another, as his predicament becomes steadily more harrowing and the stakes mount.

A former writer for the satirical tabloid The Weekly World News, C. Michael Forsyth peppers The Identity Thief with sly humor and delicious twists. His acclaimed novel Hour of the Beast was hailed by Horror Fiction Review as a “fast-paced, rip-snorting, action-packed, sexy college romp.” Critics called his epic romantic adventure The Blood of Titans “an engrossing and well-crafted tale.”

    The Identity Thief features an oddly likeable antihero—X an identity thief looking for a big score. If you take this character outside of the world of fiction, he would be a despicable person. Someone who assumes the identity of someone else and bilks them of their money. X does have a certain Robin Hood quality about him, looking for those who deserve it, in his mind. He gets in well over his head when he tries to take on the identity of a Middle Eastern playboy who turns out to be a terrorist. X then becomes a pawn of a shadow government agency who wants to use his skills to continue assuming the role of the terrorist he’s playing and to steal the funds of a major terrorist threat.As I mentioned earlier, X is a fun and enjoyable character. He certainly has his warts, but he has enough personality to get you to root for him. Nothing comes easily for him and he gets himself into really difficult predicaments that he has to use his cunning and ingenuity to get himself out of. It was fun to see him dig himself out of one hole after another. My only real complaint was that there were some spots that stretched believability. I listened to the audio version of the book. The author narrates the book, and gives a top notch performance that enhanced my enjoyment of this novel. This is an excellent book that I highly recommend reading.Carl Alves - author of Conjesero
