Book Summary
The #1 New York Times-bestselling master of
international intrigue takes readers into the bleeding-edge
world of technological espionage in a propulsive thriller
that feels chillingly real.
Former chief of the
British Secret Intelligence Service Adrian Weston is awoken
in the middle of the night by a phone call from the Prime
Minister. Her news is shocking: the Pentagon, the NSA, and
the CIA have been hacked simultaneously, their seemingly
impenetrable firewalls breached by an unknown enemy known
only as "The Fox." Even more surprisingly, the culprit is
revealed to be a young British teenager, Luke Jennings. He
has no agenda, no secrets, just a blisteringly brilliant
mind. Extradition to the U.S. seems likely—until Weston has
another idea: If Luke can do this to us, what can he do to
our enemies?
After conferring with both the American
President and the Prime Minister, Weston is determined to
use "The Fox" and his talents to the advantage of the two
nations. But doing so places the boy on a geopolitical
minefield. Adrian must stay one step ahead of multiple
invisible enemies, all while finding a way to utilize the
most powerful—and most unpredictable—weapon of
all.
With his trademark research and deep knowledge
of the rules and practices of international intrigue,
Forsyth takes on tomorrow's threats in this
race-against-the-clock thriller.
