Absolute Agent: Techno-Thriller by Raven Yang (QuadRingEntis) (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The cover of this book was supposed to be its title: Top Secret. The supreme level of the universal data-protection (green/blue/red and Orange levels). This is what the icon above says and means. I didn't make the working title of my book its official out of professional courtesy. Anyone has the right to partake in the modern-day adventure -- a Spy Game, because any spy game is the search for the truth. But if You Already Know, you can still "get the kick" from reading this novel. You just have go through its chapters d???-w??b? (ten-to-one). Otherwise -- proceed as usual, and take it easy. So -- What if Michael Crichton, Philip K. Dick, and Wachowski brothers were wrong about one little thing? The ongoing digital revolution rewrote rules of the informational warfare. The Century of the Spy is over, but there were no reports of the Spy's Death. Thus, this story starts as a flashback depicting events that led to the dramatic demise of an unidentified Man in his sixties -- and its central character. Right after the satellite signal sets his car ablaze, the responsible party reviews events that led to it. This story is being told from the POV of Antagonists employed by one e-monitoring outfit -- referred here as the Communicational Directorate. This directorate has the techno-edge over competitors thanks to its creative, despotic and extremely influential mastermind. The omniscient Director operates like an X-box player, controlling global schemes from the Ruhr HQ of his organization. He is the first to learn that its almost Sci-Fi capacities can be Outdone By One retired, old-school SIS ace. Therefore -- he dispatches a tech-savvy group of young Investigators to neutralize this threat. Unfamiliar with real-life cloak-and-dagger, they trigger a fiery chain reaction accidentally revealing the 1st plot twist. The mythical leader of that organization is actually...

I know you are not vulnerable to my people's spears." "I will come, Guardian. But I tell you plainly I do not like what I see about me here. You doubtless have some weaponry of your own with you.

THE KATERINA ICON by Robert Mitchell (31 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

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. They don't see the two figures far back on the lake, hidden by the mist. ...

Dixie climbed up too and then she proclaimed loud and strong, "The players must strike with a downward angle so that the ball enters the giant stone trough. Be careful that it does not bounce out. It is impossible to play the hole in the valley below the four tier aqueduct. I have it on good report that the valley floor is inhabited by carnivorous reptiles." Hage stood shoulder to shoulder with his partner as he said, "Only a bunch of numbskull Nazis would import killer crocodiles as a hazard for their own golf course." The Score Keepers had decided that it would be fun for the players to play in alphabetical order. So that placed the team of Wild Bill and Woody at the back of the pack along with their current opponents Robby and Hage. The timing was very fortuitous.

Tightrope (Trelawney Book 3) by Antony Melville-Ross (Lume Books) (83 Reviews)    Price verified 5 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.
