About this listen

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

Critic reviews

Forsyth deserves his place among the thriller greats
The pages virtually turn themselves (Barry Forshaw)
The five year wait for Forsyth’s latest sensation has been worth every second.
Forsyth has lost none of his storytelling finesse and geopolitical grasp . . . this is Forsyth at his spellbinding best
Ripped from today’s headlines . . . Forsyth fashions our contemporary reality into an assured thriller
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
[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
‘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’
All stars

Gripping listen. Finished in record time as couldn’t put it down. Have listened to all other books by the author and this was well worth the way. Very well narrated. The narration can make or break s book and this was 10/10
Thanks

Utterly brilliant !!!!

Frederick Forsyth never looses his touch. The story is very true to modern day life and perfectly plausible. Mr Forsyth is always on the ball when it comes to facts, as he was when he gave his thoughts on the EU Referendum. This story though speaks of the modern day Russia and its relationship if any toward the West and how our reliance on computers and the Internet could make us all so vulnerable. We are already experiencing this on a daily basis with Cyber crime. Escalate that power to Governments and that old phrase "At the touch of a button" springs to mind. The story also reveals how present day intelligence/surveillance can be so vital in preventing the catastrophe/crime before it happens. Enjoy your read I did thank you Frederick Forsyth. I am giving this book to my brother Fred for Christmas. David Rintoul reads the story so well.

Amazingly real

I know many reviews did not praise this but although agreeing it was not his best work I still found it an enjoyable listen. It is not as long as some of his other books but I have to say it kept me listening with interest. A really first class reader helped too.

The Fox another cunning one.
