Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashley leaned in closer and said witha sly grin, "Well, it's a long story..." Long time MI6 agent Ashley Dyer is weeks away from retirement. Adorned in his trusty corduroy pants, stodgy jacket and customary cup of tea, he assumes the humdrum role of night duty officer. It doesn't take long for the wrong call to come in, launching Ashley and his sleepy organization into a lumbering dance of risk and deceit at the forefront of international counter terrorism. Yehiam Mart's spy stories are unique in their genre, replacing Hollywood charm and explosive car chases, with true-to-life cunning, patience and subterfuge - blended with the self serving opportunism and arrogance that permeate the world's most revered intelligence organizations. Inspired by 25 years of service in the Israeli Mossad, Yehiam's first spy thriller 'Heaven Can Wait' is a breath of fresh air in contemporary spy literature and counter terrorism fiction. Praise for Heaven Can Wait: "Heaven Can Wait complements the work of best seller authors like John Le Carr�, Tom Clancy, Daniel Silva and John Grisham with realistic accounts of both the mundane and the extraordinary of international espionage." - - Literature & Entertainment Review Club (www.lereview.club), September 22, 2016 More by Yehiam Mart: www.yehiammart.com

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE SAMUEL ELIOT MORISON AWARD FOR NAVAL LITERATURE “I devoured Act of War the way I did Flyboys, Flags of Our Fathers and Lost in Shangri-la.”—Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author In 1968, the small, dilapidated American spy ship USS Pueblo set out to pinpoint military radar stations along the coast of North Korea. Though packed with advanced electronic-surveillance equipment and classified intelligence documents, its crew, led by ex–submarine officer Pete Bucher, was made up mostly of untested young sailors. On a frigid January morning, the Pueblo was challenged by a North Korean gunboat. When Bucher tried to escape, his ship was quickly surrounded by more boats, shelled and machine-gunned, forced to surrender, and taken prisoner. Less than forty-eight hours before the Pueblo’s capture, North Korean commandos had nearly succeeded in assassinating South Korea’s president. The two explosive incidents pushed Cold War tensions toward a flashpoint. Based on extensive interviews and numerous government documents released through the Freedom of Information Act, Act of War tells the riveting saga of Bucher and his men as they struggled to survive merciless torture and horrendous living conditions set against the backdrop of an international powder keg.

Book excerpt: The true story of a jihadi convert seeking redemption in “a rollicking read and a rare insider’s account of Western spying in the age of al Qaeda” (The New York Times Book Review). Standing over six feet tall with flaming red hair, Morten Storm was an unlikely jihadi. But after a troubled youth in his native Denmark, Storm found peace and purpose in his conversion to Islam. His absolute devotion only grew after he attended a militant madrasa in Yemen, named his son Osama, and became close friends with American-born terrorist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. Then, after a decade of jihadi life, he not only rejected extremism—he began a quest for atonement, becoming a double agent for the CIA as well as British and Danish intelligence agencies. Agent Storm takes readers inside the fanatical jihadist mindset and into the shadows of the world’s most powerful spy agencies in an action-packed account that “reads like a screenplay for a James Bond movie written by Joel and Ethan Coen” (The Washington Post).

Roth is vibrantly talented." —New York Review of Books Portnoy's Complaint n. [after Alexander Portnoy (1933- )] A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature. Spielvogel says: 'Acts of exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism, auto-eroticism and oral coitus are plentiful; as a consequence of the patient's "morality," however, neither fantasy nor act issues in genuine sexual gratification, but rather in overriding feelings of shame and the dread of retribution, particularly in the form of castration.' (Spielvogel, O. "The Puzzled Penis," Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, Vol. XXIV, p. 909.) It is believed by Spielvogel that many of the symptoms can be traced to the bonds obtaining in the mother-child relationship.
