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 US seems likely - until Weston has another idea: If Luke can do this to us, what can he do to our enemies?

Forsyth is an old pro. He could have boned up on computers, though.
It's important not to benchmark an author with his hey days. Especially if his wife has asked him to stop traveling to dangerous places. What we get with The Fox is therefore an ok book which could be read if you were on a flight but would be put aside at most other times. There is still a fair understanding of Russia to be gained so if that's up your alley go for it. Else avoidable.
