As the groups awaited the tour to begin, the Americans pretended that they are on the pilgrimage called the Way of El Camino. The Scott girls boldly asked the priests and nuns many curious questions. The holy people did not know the answers. Gentleman millionaire that he was, Tex removed his white Stetson before he requested a private tour of the famous cathedral. The officials scattered to find a sole who was a worthy and available tour guide. As soon as the black clad servants of God were out of sight, a ghost materialized before the tight group of believers. The Scotts squealed with delight, yet they did not panic.

Two young Australians, following the Volga River on the small cruise ship Maxim Gorky, rescue an old man drowning in its icy waters. In gratitude he gives them an early 20th Century icon which he swears contains a code giving directions to the hiding place of priceless icons looted from the imperial palace in Saint Petersburg, during the early years of the Russian Revolution, icons which were secreted somewhere within the monastery at Goritsy, a monastery they had passed not long after they had dragged the old man from the river. The lock of one of their suitcases is found to be broken when they arrive back in Australia. Nothing has been stolen. The icon does not seem to have been touched and they mistakenly pass it off as having been done by Customs somewhere within Russia. It is not until the icon is accidentally knocked from a table and pieces fly off that the secret is revealed. The old Cossack was right. There was a secret within the icon. And, foolishly, one of them writes to the old man telling him what they have found, forgetting that the old Russian does not live alone. The decision is made to travel to Russia in the middle of winter and break into the Monastery, into the place where the icons were concealed over a hundred years ago, knowing there is a risk that they might already have been found, but not even thinking that there might be others waiting for them, others who desire the Katerina Triptych, the favourite icon of Catherine the Great, an icon which would be worth millions. It is freezing as they crunch across the frozen lake towards the white walls of the monastery, peering through the misty darkness, searching for the square tower and then the square building described in the sheets of paper taken from the icon. And at last their attention is focussed on the high embrasure through which the old Cossack's grandfather was lifted into the monastery, taking the icons with him.

Tightrope (Trelawney Book 3) by Antony Melville-Ross (Lume Books) (83 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

In Antony Melville-Ross's third book, Trelawney is back with a vengeance - and what a vengeance. Antony Melville-Ross's first spy novel Blindfold was warmly greeted - and compared to the works of Ian Fleming - by some of the most discriminating judges, and his second, Two Faces of Nemesis, consolidated this reputation. In Tightrope, which is perhaps his most brilliant performance, Trelawney and his bewitching partner Jane Trask are at the forefront of the action, which takes place in England and the United States. What makes this book something quite extraordinary in spy fiction is its accurate reflection of the chaos and irrationality of the world, that is so often reflected in news reports - the world of hostages and terrorism, of mindless destruction and cruelty. Although it is set against a Cold War backdrop, modern readers will find much in this story that is familiar. Skilfully plotted and vigorously written, Tightrope is a superior spy thriller that will please readers who enjoy the work of Fleming, Deighton, Le Carré and Tom Clancy. Praise for Tightrope: 'Melville-Ross has dry-docked his submarines and entered the unpleasant and unseen world of the English "spooks". In doing so he has lost none of his finely crafted characterisations, engaging dialogue and lively storytelling. As the title suggests, it is a taut, engaging and sadly, probably quite realistic in its portrayal of those involved' - Amazon review Antony Melville-Ross (1920-1993) won the DSC while serving in submarines during World War II, and became involved in Intelligence activities after the war. Subsequently he worked as an oil company executive in the Middle East, New York and South America. He also wrote six novels, of which Blindfold was the first.

The Sapphire Sea: A Matt Ransom Mystery by Bobby Underwood (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

With its sexy mix of thrilling action and tangible sensuality, and a willingness to tackle subjects such as abuse and incest, suicide and faith within an entertaining sci-fi/mystery series often focused on global conspiracies in a world devoid of real love, The Sapphire Sea might just be the finest and most entertaining entry yet in the Matt Ransom canon. Big and sprawling -- there are over thirty pivotal and recurring characters -- yet almost uncomfortably intimate at times, the world of Matt Ransom is both intoxicating and addictive. By the seventh entry the world of Matt Ransom had moved from a dystopian Earth to one nearly fully recovered. In the previous entry, A Matt Ransom Christmas, readers were treated to intrigue as well as an ode to that most cherished of holidays. A startling story-line began to emerge that promised to rock this world to its foundations. That promise is fulfilled in The Sapphire Sea, a morally and sensually complex tearing down of everything readers thought they understood about this world. The Sapphire Sea remains true to all the intricate story-lines which preceded it, not to mention those all-important relationships, yet takes this most unique series in new and fresh directions. A Matt Ransom entry with one poignant moment after another, more achingly sensual encounters than can be counted, and a thrilling revenge and conspiracy story which moves like lightning despite being interwoven with the moral quandary Matt finds himself facing. The Sapphire Sea is the most ambitious Matt Ransom entry to date, which is saying a great deal. Stunning and heartbreaking, this one is so shocking, readers will find themselves asking: "Did that just happen?" A lot does happens here that could not have been anticipated by readers, including some deeply moving departures of beloved characters. A tearful yet uplifting ending make this one of the most memorable entries in the entire Matt Ransom canon.

Now she was trapped in the custody of doctors working to research a cure for Transform Sickness while her body changed underneath her, becoming stronger, faster, with more acute senses, resistance to poisons, and more able to heal. Her mind changed underneath her, with new tempers, more aggression, violent mood swings and new hungers. She had new enemies, many of whom wanted to kill her for what she'd become, and more who wanted to use her as a tool. And she was dying, like all the other previous female predators in America except one, and that one had become a psychotic serial killer. She must figure out a way to survive her transformation and her enemies, preferably without becoming a psychotic serial killer herself.

The Warden Threat: A Sci-Fi Counter-Fantasy Novel (Defying Fate Book 1) by D.L. Morrese (Fuzzy Android) (82 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Prince Donald, the idealistic third son of the king of Westgrove, believes he may be the only one capable of protecting his country from an invasion spearheaded by an ancient, massive, and magical stone warrior known as the Warden of Mystic Defiance. When he recovers a mysterious scroll he believes may allow him to take control of the Warden, he eagerly takes on the task. Donald, unfortunately, is woefully unprepared. His only understanding of such things comes from reading fictional tales of epic adventures and brave heroes. He dreams of being one, but to his dismay, his quest unfolds nothing like he imagined. The books in his library seriously understate the complexities and hardships involved, and the real world can be much more confusing and complicated than those in stories. Sometimes it is not easy to identify the villains, and what things seem may not always be what they are. The real threat to the kingdom may not even be what everyone seems to think it is. Most disturbing of all is the realization that the hero is not necessarily predestined to save the day. Heroes can fail. This lighthearted parody is unique -- a soft science fiction counter-fantasy, which pokes a fair amount of good-natured fun at the serious tone and dependence on magic common to many epic fantasy adventure genre novels. With its charming and truly likeable characters, witty, intelligent humor, and prose style blending positive science fiction and epic fantasy elements, The Warden Threat is a delight, perfect for readers of these genres yearning for something fresh and different. This book is also available in the omnibus edition Defying Fate, which includes both The Warden Threat and its sequel, The Warden War. Defying Fate is a Kindle exclusive.
