'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...
***Praise for Frederick Forsyth***
'In a class by itself. Unputdownable.' Sunday Times
'Forsyth did away with the conventions of thriller-writing and still kept readers enthralled. He reset the whole genre.' Guardian
'Meticulously researched' BBC
''Forsyth...personified the journalist-author as superstar.' Telegraph
***Don't miss Revenge of Odessa, the new book from Frederick Forsyth and Tony Kent***

Former RAF pilot and investigative journalist Frederick Forsyth defined the modern thriller when he wrote The Day of the Jackal, described by Lee Child as ‘the book that broke the mould’, with its lightning-paced storytelling, effortlessly cool reality and unique insider information. After that, he wrote thirteen novels which became bestsellers around the world: The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, The Devil’s Alternative, The Fourth Protocol, The Negotiator, The Deceiver, The Fist of God, Icon, Avenger, The Afghan, The Cobra, The Kill List and The Fox. He also published his memoirs in The Outsider. Frederick Forsyth died in June 2025.
