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

Your details force

I wish it were a true story. The narration was excellent, making the complex agencies come to life in a way intelligible, no doubt aided by the skill of Mr Forsyth's knowledge and research

The fox quite an eventful tale of espionage.

Many changes to the family home moving around the country.
Many attempts on foreign security defences by cyber attack.
A most satisfying story.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Thanks to Audible I’ve become a Forsyth devotee and I found this book to be just as enjoyable as his others - if not with quite as many plot twists as some of those past books. As ever, David Rintoul’s narration was superb.
