Download or read book Goodbye Mr Dixon written by Iain Crichton Smith and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The titular Mr Dixon is not the novel's main character but the creation of the novel's main character, Tom Spence. Spence describes himself as "an embryo novelist"; he has had the odd job - for example, delivering mail - but is largely without skills and has bet all on his career as a writer. Unfortunately he has "never brought a novel to a successful conclusion" never mind had one published, and, unable to live the dream, has instead dreamed it through his protagonist, Drew Dixon. His novel has ground to a halt because he has decided Dixon will "meet a girl of twenty-five or thereabouts whose entry into his world was to change his life" but has no idea how to write it. Fortuitously he meets a young woman, Ann, and, as their relationship develops we begin to sense that it will be Spence's life that is changed rather than Dixon's. As Spence's isolation ends he revisits his past, attempting to contact the mother he hasn't seen in years and returning to his old school to see the English teacher who he believes encouraged him to write. Increasingly his admiration for Dixon turns to hatred and Spence is forced to choose between life and art.

Peter, a geological explorer and troubled former SEAL, and Maria, a former Russian spy once tasked with Peter’s murder, survive the attack. Investigators discover a listening device in Peter’s cabin. Who has been listening to the conversations in the cabin? And why? Using old accusations of murder, from when Peter served in Afghanistan, the CIA holds him to a contract. Alden Sage, advisor to the former president, brings release, but with a cost – one last job. Russian interests work with North Korea to fast-track development of Cerro Nublado, a highly controversial copper deposit in Peru.

Alden tasks Peter with discovering that secret, but Maria angrily insists he must stay away from Peru. Will Peter survive the multiple and vicious attacks on his way to Peru and Cerro Nublado? Will he survive El Come Huevos, The Egg Eater, who tortures his victims before he kills them? Do the rocks of Cerro Nublado really hide a dangerous secret in plain sight? Even if Peter survives the hidden Russian agendas, relentless attacks, and the world of the Fascist president, can he survive his love for Maria? In the end, he must search in the jungle, for the truth at Cerro Nublado, and he must search in his heart, for the truth that is Maria.
