The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth (1971)
The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth Frederick Forsyth
This is the book that inspired a young Tom Clancy to write thrillers. Not James Bond. Is this a technothriller? Not sure. Probably not. Just a plain old spy thriller.

This may have inspired Andromeda Strain ... I'm guessing. I suppose if I took 2 seconds to google it I could find out.

Jed Henson I vote Jackal! I recently read Andromeda Strain. I've tried Daemon twice and DNF'd it twice. Which is weird because I love other Suarez books.

You’re breaking my heart, which was set on Daemon. You usually rate everything a star higher than me, and you DNFed it 2X? I would read any of these.

Yeah, I don't know why, I don't get it either!

Somehow, everyone voted on this poll, which is different from the one I voted on yesterday at the bottom of the main page. That one has a 5th book. I must’ve edited the poll after posting it, and this is what happened. My message must’ve linked to the original version of the poll. Lessons learned. We’ll just use this one to decide the October result.
