Book excerpt: Known as a cool seductress with a taste for couture, chic superspy Casmir Balasi had played her role too well this time — getting love-struck master criminal Yuri Petrov to propose on bended knee...and fall into her trap. But it wasn't long before Yuri caught on — and when he escaped prison, he vowed to enforce "'til death do us part." Now Casmir was saddled with an arrogant if irresistible bodyguard, sent by an agency that didn't have her best interests at heart. Would her protector's secret agenda place her in the hands of her worst enemy? Or would she fall into her defender's arms instead?

Download or read book Silver Linings written by Mina Parker and published by Conari Press. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Silver Linings, Mina Parker and Daniel Talbott present an array of ways of looking at that old cliche: every cloud has a silver lining. Parker writes, "It doesn't take much to shine up your old outlook or try on a new one. One of my grandfather's favorite sayings was 'Into each life a little rain must fall'. Recently I've started to think maybe you don't have to spend your days and nights constructing mental rain shelters in preparation for the great flood that may or may not ever come. Maybe, if you can see the positive, even in the worst situations, that outlook can be its own rainy-day relief." Silver Linings offers quotations and meditations to help lighten the darker moments and revel in the brighter ones that might ensue. It's about making the best of unexpected situations, celebrating the sun in the midst of a dark day, finding a new opportunity when an old way no longer works. Daniel Talbott's photographs the beauty all around us all the time: the momentary reflections in shop windows, quiet moments, and flowers bursting out in unlikely cityscapes. Thriving in all seasons and all places, flowers are the best symbols of silver linings: the products of bright, sunny days and heavy, dark rain clouds.

Book excerpt: Sarah has always been torn between two worlds. The carefree, easy-going world of her hippie mom, where life is all about helping others and building good karma, and the real world, with real responsibilities, like paying bills, and getting to work on time… Values obviously gleaned from dad’s side of the family. She has nothing but fond memories of her father. He was always there for her, and clearly loved her mother more than she even thought possible, despite mom’s overtly eccentric behavior. Losing dad was tough, but now she’s been reduced to being the girl with the crazy mom. A reputation that’s not likely to increase her chances of landing her dream promotion at the resort across the bay where she works. Especially with the new competition. Ben is an attractive, sophisticated, and savvy business-man, clearly there to destroy her chances of getting the job. Her luck couldn’t be worse. With an obvious attraction and closeness forming between the two, Sarah discovers that Ben’s motives may not be as clear as she first thought. What’s he really doing there? Is she being played? Benjamin Rothschild has come to the popular upscale resort strictly for business. Under the assumption he’s there to evaluate Sarah for a new position, he can’t help being drawn in by her sensual charm and free-spirited nature. But, for some reason this passionate beauty has it out for him. What has he ever done to her? With so much confusion and something obviously lost in the translation, he’ll have to do everything in his power to convince her that his intentions for her are true.

Download or read book The Silver Lining Book the First of the Kadnohkka Grey Series written by Tracy Day and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kadnohkka was born in a litter of thirteen Middle Eastern Silver Terriers, a breed of dog invented (and otherwise only known) by the Johnsons." Being a dog is hard. Being half-dog/half-human is even harder. And being Kadnohkka Grey is the hardest of all. As young Kadnohkka treks through the Dimensions to save his best friend, he and the half-girl/half-lionbird he travels with, Zabeth, are hunted down by the evil Nelson Noslen. Kadnohkka and Zabeth must rescue Kadnohkka's best friend Traz, stop Nelson from taking over the Lionbirdian Dimension, and learn to get along a little better. With Kadnohkka's father, Pixerius, known to many dogs as the Dog, and Zabeth, Kadnohkka can accomplish anything. Or can he? The pen starts here. Tracy Alexia Day was born in Georgia, now lives in Florida, and plans to move to Mars. She began writing when she was three, and since then has written and doodled on everything, including the desk cover in fourth grade. She started writing and illustrating The Silver Lining on her eleventh birthday. She records her own music as the Kadnohkkian Tadpole, and is in the band Metalflame (previously called The Two Toenails) with her nephew. Tracy enjoys writing songs and books, playing guitar, being with friends, and yelling random things at people in Kadnohkkian. She was born in August of 1994, making her a Leo and a Dog and a fire sign, which is a reason she wrote about a dog and a lionbird (a mythical animal she made up when she was 3). She lives with her family and is homeschooled. This is her first novel. Tracy and her family have a rat terrier, a betta, a catfish, a Shetland pony, a quarter horse, a mustang, and a colony of tadpoles, making a total of 6+ pets. Plus she has a skink named Ned running around in her bedroom, eating the bugs, and digesting the bugs. She has bought an air freshener. Tracy based Kadnohkka on her nephew and her dog. Her 7-year-old nephew, Thomas, has a wide range of subjects for comments by kids. Tracy's personal favorites: "The moon is made of cheese, so that means I'm not guilty ," "Crazy? Crazy? I was once crazy They put me in a room, a rubber room.." (continued infinitely), and "YOU GOT MY BRUISE WET AAAARGH ." As for her dog, actions speak louder than words. She translates T's barks. Speaking fluent Kadnohkkian/Wolf, Tracy is writing a Kadnohkkian/Wolf-English dictionary. Only a few people speak Kadnohkkian right now, and Tracy says, "It would be nice to walk up to a person and say 'Avey Se nu spaklE Kadnohkkian?' and have them say something other than, "What the heck'.'" She does not speak JavaScript or Klingon, nor does she know pi to a thousand places, but her dog does have a website, though, technically. As wacky as she is, Tracy can be normal. Sometimes. But being slightly abnormal is what she does best. She sings loudly, laughs at everything, gets down with the electric guitar, and, if there is no guitar available, gets down with an air guitar. The neighbors are getting used to it. She wrote this biography. (Which kind of makes it an autobiography.) P.S. She ignored most of the grammar rules her fifth grade teacher said "every good book has."

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva’s celebrated debut novel, The Unlikely Spy, is “A ROLLER-COASTER WORLD WAR II ADVENTURE that conjures up memories of the best of Ken Follett and Frederick Forsyth” (The Orlando Sentinel). “In wartime,” Winston Churchill wrote, “truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” For Britain’s counterintelligence operations, this meant finding the unlikeliest agent imaginable—a history professor named Alfred Vicary, handpicked by Churchill himself to expose a highly dangerous, but unknown, traitor. The Nazis, however, have also chosen an unlikely agent. Catherine Blake is the beautiful widow of a war hero, a hospital volunteer—and a Nazi spy under direct orders from Hitler: uncover the Allied plans for D-Day...
Download or read book A Spy in Plain Sight written by Lis Wiehl and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A legal analyst for NPR, NBC, and CNN, delves into the facts surrounding what has been called the “worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history”: the case of Robert Hanssen—a Russian spy who was embedded in the FBI for two decades. As a federal prosecutor and the daughter of an FBI agent, Wiehl has an inside perspective. She brings her experience and the ingrained lessons of her upraising to bear on her remarkable exploration of the case, interviewing numerous FBI and CIA agents both past and present as well as the individuals closest to Hanssen. She speaks with his brother-in-law, his oldest and best friend, and even his psychiatrist. In all her conversations, Wiehl is trying to figure out how he did it—and at what cost. But she also pursues questions urgently relevant to our national security today. Could there be another spy in the system? Could the presence of a spy be an even greater threat now than ever before, with the greater prominence cyber security has taken in recent years? Wiehl explores the mechanisms and politics of our national security apparatus and how they make us vulnerable to precisely this kind of threat. Wiehl grew up among the same people with whom Hanssen ingratiated himself, and she has spent her career trying to find the truth within fractious legal and political conflicts. A Spy in Plain Sight reflects on the deeply sown divisions and paranoias of our present day and provides an unparalleled view into the functioning of the FBI, and will stand alongside pillars of the genre like Killers of the Flower Moon, The Spy and the Traitor, and No Place to Hide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perfect for fans of Jennifer Weiner, Emily Giffin, and Jane Green. How would it feel to wake up one morning and discover that you’re married to James Bond? Shelley has always believed that her husband is a mild-mannered management consultant—but then one morning his picture appears on CNN above the headline “CIA Spy David Harris is Source of British News Leak.” Quiet, self-possessed David a spy? Impossible! But while Shelley is still reeling from the first revelation, David’s photo is again splashed across the news—and this time he’s not alone. This time he has his arm around a beautiful, sun-streaked blonde, and this time the headline screams, “CIA Superspy and British Reporter in Romantic Relationship!” In the weeks that follow, together and apart, David and Shelley dodge foreign agents and international media hounds (not to mention his desperate ex-lover) from Paris to Bogotá to Jerusalem. But more alarming than this game of hide-and-seek is the fact that Shelley finds herself fascinated and deeply, disturbingly attracted by the dangerous stranger her husband has become. Can she reconcile her dream of domestic tranquility with the fierce emotions that have suddenly taken over her life? Can she become the perfect spy’s wife?
Download or read book The Spy Novels of John Le Carre written by M. Aronoff and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-12-14 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using espionage as a metaphor for politics, John le Carré explores the dilemmas that confront individuals and governments as they act during and in the aftermath of the Cold War. His unforgettable characters struggle to maintain personal and professional integrity while facing conflicting personal, institutional, and ideological loyalties. In The Spy Novels of John le Carré , author Myron Aronoff interprets the ambiguous ethical and political implications of the work of John le Carré, revealing him to be one of the most important political writers of our time. Aronoff shows how through his writing, le Carré poses the difficult question of to what extent are western governments justified in pursuing raison d'état without undermining the very democratic freedoms that they claim to defend. He also draws parallels between the self-parody of le Carré and that of the seventeenth-century Dutch artist Jan Steen, and explains how it expresses a unique form of ambiguous moralism. In this volume Aronoff relates le Carré's fictional world to the real world of espionage, and demonstrates the need to balance the imperatives of ethics and politics in regard to some of the most pressing issues facing the world today.
Download or read book The Spy Who Was Left Behind written by Michael Pullara and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking true story of international intrigue —“a highly detailed, engrossing work” (Kirkus Reviews)—involving the 1993 murder of CIA officer Freddie Woodruff by KGB agents and the extensive cover-up that followed in Washington and in Moscow. “In a post-truth era, we need a lot more fearless writers like Michael Pullara” (Robert Baer, author of See No Evil). On August 8, 1993, a single bullet to the head killed Freddie Woodruff, the Central Intelligence Agency’s station chief in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Within hours, police had a suspect—a vodka-soaked village bumpkin named Anzor Sharmaidze. A tidy explanation quickly followed: It was a tragic accident. US diplomats hailed Georgia’s swift work, and both countries breathed a sigh of relief. Yet the bullet that killed Woodruff was never found and key witnesses have since retracted their testimony, saying they were beaten and forced to identify Sharmaidze. But if he didn’t do it, who did? Those who don’t buy the official explanation think the answer lies in the spy games that played out on Russia’s frontier following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. Woodruff was an early actor in a dangerous drama. American spies were moving into newborn nations previously dominated by Soviet intelligence. Russia’s security apparatus, resentful and demoralized, was in turmoil, its nominal loyalty to a pro-Western course set by President Boris Yeltsin, shredded by hardline spooks and generals who viewed the Americans as a menace. At the time when Woodruff was stationed there, Georgia was a den of intrigue. It had a big Russian military base and was awash with former and not-so-former Soviet agents. Shortly before Woodruff was shot, veteran CIA officer Aldrich Ames—who would soon be unmasked as a KGB mole—visited him on agency business. In short order, Woodruff would be dead and Ames, in prison for life. Buckle up, because The Spy Who Was Left Behind reveals the full-throttle, little-known thrilling tale.
