Inhaltsangabe

At the height of the Cold War, a new Soviet threat triggers a daring heist, and the stakes couldn't be higher

'A defining novel of the genre and a lost classic' James Swallow

British and American intelligence services have just learned of the Soviet Union's latest aircraft: the MiG-31.

Codenamed "Firefox", the plane is a marvel of engineering stealthy, hypersonic, with a thought-guided weapons system outclassing anything flown by the West. Faced with Soviet air domination, MI6 and the CIA launch a daring mission to steal a Firefox prototype.

Veteran US Air Force pilot Mitchell Gant, is sent to the Soviet Union under an assumed identity. He seems the perfect man for the job. But, deep within the icy heart of Soviet power, the stakes are overwhelming: fail this mission, and lose the war

Blending Cold War espionage suspense with high-altitude aerial action, Firefox is the original and greatest techno-thriller, from million-copy bestselling author Craig Thomas. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum.

Praise for Firefox

'Firefox is as tense and exciting as they come' TLS

'Writes far better than Ludlum' Washington Post

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Cardiff-born, internationally bestselling author Craig Thomas (1942–2011) wrote eighteen novels between 1976 and 1998. His first novel, Rat Trap, was published in 1976, swiftly followed by the international bestseller, Firefox. It was after the success of this book that he left his job as an English teacher and became a full-time novelist. Thomas went on to write sixteen further novels, including three featuring the Firefox pilot, Mitchell Gant: Firefox Down, Winter Hawk and A Different War. Firefox attracted the attention of Hollywood and in 1982 was made into a film starring and directed by Clint Eastwood. The novel is credited with inventing the techno-thriller genre.
