About this ebook
The No. 1 bestseller
'Forsyth has lost none of his storytelling finesse and geopolitical grasp . . . this is Forsyth at his spellbinding best' Daily Mail
'An ingenious, expertly written and serious look at international conflicts which threaten the future of the world' Washington Post
Most weapons do what you tell them. Most weapons you can control.
But what if the most dangerous weapon in the world isn't a smart missile or a stealth submarine or even an AI computer programme?What if it's a 17-year-old boy with a blisteringly brilliant mind, who can run rings around the most sophisticated security services across the globe, who can manipulate that weaponry and turn it against the superpowers themselves? How valuable would he be? And what wouldn't you do to get hold of him?
The Fox is a race-against-time thriller across continents to find and capture, or protect and save, an asset with the means to change the balance of world power. Whatever happens he must not fall into the wrong hands. Because what follows after that is unthinkable...

This is a story which is very up to date. The book is about a war by computer hacking by an eighteen year old boy with Aspergers called the Fox. Its UK, USA and Israel versus Russian, Iran and North Korea. The best part of the book is the inclusion of real events of deception by the rogue states especially Russia. Very highly recommended.Frederick Forsyth is still the master when it comes to international and espionage thrillers.

Slow start .. but once ignited it soars brilliantly like a hawk ... ending as envisaged though could have been more dramatic. All the usual suspects .... becoming too tedious ... bad ruskies Muslims terrorist Jewish heroes horrible north Koreans .... could do better.

Forsyth one of my favorites continues to be brilliant in his story and characters. Both the Kill List and The Fox are brilliant books that you cannot keep down until finished.
