A pulse-pounding work of military thriller fiction, Exocet chronicles the high-stakes world of Cold War espionage set against the backdrop of the 1982 Falklands War between Britain and Argentina. At its center is a dangerous mission involving the deadly Exocet missile — the weapon that gave Argentina a devastating edge against the British fleet — as shadowy intelligence operatives on both sides race to control its supply. Jack Higgins masterfully constructs a web of double agents, seduction, and betrayal, delivering the taut, relentless pacing that made him one of the most celebrated thriller writers of his generation. The narrative moves with cinematic urgency, presenting morally complex characters who operate in the grey zones between loyalty and survival. Fans of espionage fiction will find it an electrifying read that illustrates just how thin the line between hero and villain can be when geopolitical stakes are at their highest.
