Über den Autor
Frederick Forsyth was born in Ashford, England on August 25, 1938. At age seventeen, he decided he was ready to start experiencing life for himself, so he left school and traveled to Spain. While there he briefly attended the University of Granada before returning to England and joining the Royal mehr anzeigen Air Force. He served with the RAF from 1956 to 1958, earning his wings when he was just nineteen years old. He left the RAF to become a reporter for the Eastern Daily Press, Reuters News Agency, and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). While with the BBC, he was sent to Nigeria to cover an uprising in the Biafra region. As he learned more about the conflict, he became sympathetic to the rebel cause. He was pulled from Nigeria and reassigned to London when he reported this viewpoint. Furious, he resigned and returned to Nigeria as a freelance reporter, eventually writing The Biafra Story and later, Emeka, a biography of the rebel leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. Upon his return to England in 1970, Forsyth began writing fiction. His first novel, The Day of the Jackal, won an Edgar Allan Poe award from the Mystery Writers of America. His other works include The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, The Fourth Protocol, Devil's Alternative, The Negotiator, The Deceiver, The Fist of God, Icon, The Veteran, Avenger, The Afghan, The Cobra and The Fox.

Rezensionen
Der Fuchs: Thriller von Frederick Forsyth
Detailreich wie immer, macht es einfach Spaß, Forsyth zu lesen. Diesmal steht ein autistischer Junge mit unglaublichen Computerkenntnissen im Mittelpunkt und führt zu internationalen Verwicklungen.
½
Ein klassicher Forsyth, man will das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Leider zeigt die Story auf, das man den Drogenkartellen weh tun kann, am langen Ende man aber gegen Sie machtlos ist.
In politischer Hinsicht und in Bezug auf einige andere Themen wie z.B. Jagd und Stierkampf könnte ich mich sicherlich sehr intensiv mit dem Autor streiten, aber es ist anzuerkennen, dass er ein guter Erzähler ist und einige interessante Dinge erlebt hat, über die er in dieser Autobiographie berichtet. Daher: (Leider) lesenswert :-)
Hochaktuelles Buch, souverän geschrieben, so wie man es von Forsyth gewohnt ist. Auch wenn man sich für militärische Dinge nicht erwärmen kann, so sind die beschriebenen Optionen teilweise schon einschüchternd und beängstigend.
