Craig Thomas - the unofficial companion - Firefox Down
http://www.craigthomascompanion.co.uk/9firefox.html
Mitchell Gant returns in this cunningly disguised sequel to Firefox. The book picks up the story at the very moment that the first book ended. Perhaps after seeing the movie Thomas realized that he'd left out the ending. This book is a bit of a reunion for a lot of Thomas' recurring characters. Even some people who have been killed off are allowed to return as the action of this book takes place before the events of some others, notably Snow Falcon. The KGB man Priabin from Firefox. All the Grey Cats.

Craig Thomas - The unofficial companion - FAQ
http://www.craigthomascompanion.co.uk/faq.html
1 - Why are Lion's Run and Wildcat not on your books list? Lion's Run" is the US title for "The Bear's Tears". It seems an odd change of title as an essential plot element of the story is a KGB file codenamed. Wildcat" is the US title for "All the Grey Cats". The US edition is missing the epilogue where Aubrey visits Ros to ask about Hyde. Indeed all other references to Hyde thoughout the book are deleted. 2 - Who is David Grant? 3 - So where can I get a copy of "Moscow 5000"? 4 - But what's it about!

Craig Thomas - the unofficial companion - Timeline
http://www.craigthomascompanion.co.uk/timeline.html
I've attempted to construct a chronology of the events depicted in the novels. Most of the novels 'happen' in the order that they were published but there are a few exceptions such as Snow Falcon. Have been left out of the timeline as the characters from those books do not cross-over into what I call the 'Aubrey' novels. Page contains a list of the novels in the order of publication. Aubrey meets the ten year old Brigitte. He helps her and her father escape Nazi Germany. Revealed in All the Grey Cats.

Craig Thomas - the unofficial companion - The Last Raven
http://www.craigthomascompanion.co.uk/13lastraven.html
The Last Raven (1990). It's a case of lucky thirteen as we enter a new decade. The Last Raven. Is one of Thomas' best in a while, and is my favourite of his books which have appeared in the 1990s. At the end of the last book, All the Grey Cats. It seemed that Patrick Hyde had been killed on a mission in Afghanistan. We now find out details about that mission and discover that he's alive and not so well. It's been five years since his last appearance in The Bear's Tears. Any other author would have these ...
