"As she knelt concernedly by the ashen-faced sailor taking his pulse, Captain Stewart noticed her hands, neat slim white fingers, almost translucent; no ring on the left hand. "Married? he asked, as she stood up. "Widowed," she said. "In ‘35, a mining accident." "Oh, sorry how stupid of me." said the Captain. "It’s alright," she said, "You were not to know." But he did know. As head of Naval Security, Scapa Flow, he had read the briefing files on all the professional and other key personages in the Orkney Islands. The tight security surrounding the islands was there because Orkney was of crucial strategic importance. It was the main base for the Home Fleet; from here they attacked German surface vessels and U boats moving through the Fair Isle Channel between Norway and Britain. All mail and personnel leaving and entering the Orkney Islands was scrutinised with extreme thoroughness. The British reckoned, that to track ship movements, German Intelligence would have at least one or two, perhaps more, agents planted in the islands. It was Captain Stewart's job to find them" [more]

The Secret Agent is a novel by Joseph Conrad. The novel deals broadly with the notions of anarchism, espionage, and terrorism. It portrays anarchist or revolutionary groups before many of the social uprisings of the twentieth century. The novel is set in London in 1886 and follows the life of Mr. Verloc, a secret agent. Verloc is also a businessman who owns a shop which sells pornographic material, contraceptives, and bric-a-brac. He lives with his wife Winnie, his mother-in-law, and his brother-in-law, Stevie. Stevie has a mental disability, possibly autism, which causes him to be very excitable; his sister, Verloc's wife, attends to him, treating him more as a son than as a brother. Verloc's friends are a group of anarchists of which Comrade Ossipon, Michaelis, and "The Professor" are the most prominent. Although largely ineffectual as terrorists, their actions are known to the police. The group produce anarchist literature in the form of pamphlets entitled F.P., an acronym for The Future of the Proletariat. The Secret Agent was ranked the 46th best novel of the 20th century by Modern Library. [more]

“The CEO” is a fast paced corporate thriller of loves come and gone, innovation, resilience, corporate philanthropy, vision, and deception. Corporate business leaders are protected by their own small armies of private security whose power will surprise. The story takes the reader behind the scenes and into the back office meetings of both corporations and countries; travelling from Denver to New York to London to Bogota and to Paris. As Mitch and his team of loyalists’ race against time they are faced with constant revelation of threats against the company and those involved; including the life of the woman that Mitch falls deeply in love with. The depth of the plot reveals a 200 year old secret between two of the world’s most powerful countries. If the secret is revealed it could destroy the balance of power in the world. Though, if the secret stays protected it could crush all that Mitch Jacobs desires. Although Mitch Jacobs never questions his ability to conquer the current forces against him, it is a race to answer the questions: •Will Mitch be able to discover who is leading the attack on him before it is too late? •Is this conspiracy the result of the usual corporate competition or does it emanate from the power hungry executives in his company? •What interest do certain world leaders have in this plot that will destroy all that Mitch has built? •Most important Mitch has fallen in love with two women whose essence and similarities (and differences) of character lead him on his mission [more]

The summer of 1977 finds divided Germany locked in a fierce espionage battle. West Germany’s premier spy hunter, ambitious Sabine Maier, faces off against ruthless Stasi General Werner Heinrich. Sabine has filled half a prison with her prodigious arrests of communist spies. Heinrich is the mastermind behind a small army of spy gigolos who prey on lonely women working in the West German government’s most secret divisions. Caught in the middle is ladies’ man Stefan Malik, a reluctant Romeo, forced to do the general’s bidding or rot in a Stasi prison. Just as she thinks she’s gaining the upper hand, Sabine’s worst fears are realized. The Stasi has infiltrated the highest ranks of West German intelligence and Heinrich’s well-placed mole is watching her every move. With the number of women spying for love growing by the day, Sabine risks everything on a cutting-edge technology that promises to identify traitors. The ingenious system soon picks up the scent of Stefan, who is targeting the Chief of the Chancellery’s secretary. But when Sabine discovers that Stefan has an agenda of his own, she lays a risky trap. With the security of the West at stake and Stefan’s life hanging by a thread, she gives her all to unmask the mole and outwit the Stasi spymaster. German Edition: Roter Romeo What Bernie Silver, author of Nathan in Spite of Himself, says about Red Romeo: You’ve heard it all before but in Red Romeo’s case it’s true. The novel is fast-paced, suspenseful and features plenty of intrigue, to say nothing of intriguing characters. Plus it offers copious romance (though of a somewhat duplicitous nature). Suggestion: wear gloves so you don’t bite your nails off.
