Excellent Military Fiction

Though it may take American Readers a spell to get used to the British linguistics, Thomas has a captivating spy thriller here that is hard to put down and excitement galore. The epitomy of Thomas' fiction.

Mach 5 Thriller delivers

"Firefox" is the code name for a new breed of Russian fighter, a plane that's invisible to radar, outruns missiles, and wields an arsenal guided by the pilot's thoughts.

One of the best of its genre

I read this book almost 20 years ago, if I remember correctly, and it's one of the few books which I literally couldn't put down until it was finished.

Totally Awesome!

This book is a favorite of mine, which I've read many times over and I've never tired of.

A pioneer techno-thriller!

This is brilliant! I first read this when I was 15, when the movie came out in the UK, and looking back on it, much of the technology of the Firefox MiG-23 arcraft has come to fruitition in real life! In particular, the EFA-2000 Eurofighter and of course, the Stealth features. Even today, this is a story I would recommend to any thriller fan. The Moscow scenes are as authentic as `The Cardinal Of The Kremlin`(Tom Clancy),...
