Firefox - Paperback

by Craig Thomas (Author)

The New York Times-bestselling Cold War thriller: It's the most advanced stealth fighter ever developed, and his job is to steal it from the Soviets . . .

The Soviets have created a new plane equipped with a weapons system that can be activated via sensors in the pilot's helmet--an advance that could shift the global balance of power. But British intelligence has a plan. There are two prototypes within the heavily secured Soviet base, and with some help from the CIA, they're going to steal one.

The man chosen for the job is US pilot and troubled Vietnam veteran Mitchell Gant. First, he has to get into Russia. Then the airbase. Then the hangar. Then onto the plane and into the air. All while the KGB scrambles to stop him at any cost . . .

"Like a domino fall in slow motion." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Will have you sweating bullets. Thomas misses no tricks, and tension is sustained from first page to last." --The New York Times Book Review
