What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin

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...

'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

Critics Review

Forsyth deserves his place among the thriller greats
The Times
The pages virtually turn themselves
Guardian
The five year wait for Forsyth's latest sensation has been worth every second.
Daily Express
Forsyth has lost none of his storytelling finesse and geopolitical grasp . . . this is Forsyth at his spellbinding best
Daily Mail
Ripped from today's headlines . . . Forsyth fashions our contemporary reality into an assured thriller
Mail on Sunday
A thriller that'll have you checking your PC's security . . . with plenty of detail on the world of cyber-security and fine pacing and characterisation, Forsyth delivers another lesson in how it should be done
The Sport
[I]ngenious, expertly written and a serious look at international conflicts that threaten the future of the world...Forsyth is supremely well-informed about world affairs, politics, diplomacy, weaponry and the mysteries of spycraft. In 'The Fox,' as in all his novels, he lays them out in brilliant detail
Washington Post
'Outstanding ... Frederick Forsyth does it again. For a story like this to work, the details have to be on point, and it's clear that the author has done his homework as he breaks down how hackers work, often detailing their various methods and the different virtual traps they can set ... just the kind of stunning, relevant, full-throttle story that thriller fans have been waiting for, and nobody delivers quite like Frederick Forsyth, one of the very best writers the genre has ever known'
