His later novels included The Devil’s Alternative (1979), The Fourth Protocol (1984 film 1987), The Negotiator (1989), The Fist of God (1994), Icon (1996 TV movie 2005), Avenger (2003 TV movie 2006), The Kill List (2013), and The Fox (2018). Woe unto the Russians, the Iranians and the North Koreans. Forsyth’s works emphasize the power of individuals to change the world and history.
Kudos for this work to a writer who understands that the spy world is not an adrenaline rush of dodging bullets but rather a cat and mouse game of piecing together seemingly unrelated bits of information and making the chessboard moves with the knights and pawns before the opponent recognizes the deception and the true plot. Former Deputy Chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service Adrian Weston is awoken by a phone call from the Prime. Adrian Weston, the resuscitated former MI-6 chief, running Jennings and the global intrusions is also a picture of a truism that the old ways of running spies and deceiving the enemy may still be needed in a world where every movement can be traced using our cell phones, our credit cards, camera facial recognition, etc. In The Fox, as in all his novels, he lays them out in brilliant detail.
The methodology by which Britain’s IT genius, Luke Jennings, pull off the intrusions are fictional, but not that far-reaching in a world where the race to build the ultimate quantum computer to spy on others is going full blast. Ingenious, expertly written and a serious look at international conflicts that threaten the future of the worldForsyth is supremely well-informed about world affairs, politics, diplomacy, weaponry and the mysteries of spycraft. The occurrences that happen worldwide are real. Writing master, Frederick Forsyth, is back at it again with a great book linking IT to current and past events in the world of international intrigue and power games.
