In die vroee oggendure van 15 Maart 1901 word Salome de Waal wakker gemaak deur ’n dringende klop aan haar kamervenster. Dit is die Boereverkenner Hans van Zyl wat wegkruipplek soek van sy Kakie-agtervolgers. Hans, ’n ou vriend van Salome se verwonde broer Piet, word Salome se enigste kontak met die Boere op die slagveld. Hoe moet sy die opwinding verstaan wat Hans se besoeke elke donkermaan meebring? Sy is immers getroud, al beskou sy haar man, Albert, as ’n verraaier omdat hy vir die Britse besettingsmag werk. Dan is daar ook die sjarmante maj. Bruce Symington, wat betower word deur Salome se skoonheid en haar andersheid. Salome raak net so verstrengel in die spioenasienetwerk in Pretoria as in haar eie verwarde gevoelens, haar pligsbesef en haar politieke oortuigings. Eers wanneer sy as hulpverpleegster in die Irene-konsentrasiekamp gaan werk, word die oorlog vir haar werklikheid en neem sake ’n verloop wat sy nie kon voorsien het nie.

For decades, Taiwan has been a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. New Chinese President Li Jian Jun is done fooling around. He's devised a secret military operation to take the island. Only one man knows how to stop Li's bloody plan for reunification: Minister of Defense Qin Haiyu. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Qin covertly makes contact with the CIA in Beijing and signals his desire to defect to the West.

To get Qin out, John Clark creates an international task force reminiscent of Rainbow Six and goes undercover in mainland China. Meanwhile, Lt. Commander Katie Ryan is deployed to the tip of the spear on the destroyer USS Jason Dunham to defend Taiwan. Threatened by an encircling Chinese armada, she's under pressure to find a flaw in the invaders' plan for her father to exploit.

For his part, President Jack Ryan may have the power of the entire US military at his disposal, but what he really needs are Li's secret plans from Defense Minister Qin so he can stave off a war. Because America's Defense Protocol could lead to a game of mutual destruction that could cost the lives of thousands of young soldiers, sailors, special operators . . . and his daughter.

With an introduction by Christopher Hitchens.

Set during World War I, Greenmantle is a controversial meditation on the power of political Islam.

A group of professional killers, known as The Office, are carrying out hits for the Iranian government across the European continent, hitting targets amongst the wealthiest and most privileged.

After a slew of murders in London, MI5 decide that enough is enough. The Office must be destroyed, root and stem. Dan 'Spider' Shepherd, the secret service's most dangerous weapon, is tasked with infiltrating the organisation and unmasking its leader.

But just how far is he willing to go in the name of justice . . . ?

A hundred-mile-an-hour whirlwind of a novel from one of the world's most gifted thriller authors.

From a former spy comes an electrifying novel about the mystery, paranoia and ruthlessness of the secretive world of British espionage.

The Head of British Intelligence is having a bad day. Only six months off retirement and Sir William Rentoul is wondering if he'll make it that far, what with the sudden descent of a brain fog dense enough to turn every day into a series of small humiliations.

To make matters worse, Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee - the body that oversees Sir William - has received an anonymous complaint from one of his officers. Sir William dimly recalls accepting that there should be a channel for whistleblowers, but he never expected that they would pick his most sensitive case, one involving an Iranian assassin and a trail of dead bodies, or that the person who turned up to poke their nose into his files should be a lowly parliamentary researcher named Aphra McQueen, who displays smarts, tenacity and rebelliousness in unsettling measures.

Aphra seems to know more about the operation than she is letting on. What will she uncover? What is she really up to? And can she survive the unexpected events that will bounce her from London to Birmingham to Paris to Lausanne?

A fast paced tale that will take readers on a rollercoast-er of danger and misadventure. Dick Fame's time with the British Security Service does not go as planned when his first operation leaves him as a hostage and subject to torture. The trauma of his experience leads him to quit, but the espionage life is not through with him yet... Swept into a whirlwind of drugs, arms and politics, Dick and his partner Charley must battle to save the firm and protect the woman he loves while danger stalks them around every corner. They are drawn into an international conspiracy that confounds the duo and their mission for justice takes them all the way to Saudi Arabia and back to Ireland where the Troubles are in full swing. This thriller will leave you on the edge of your seat. Will Dick and Charley be able to defuse the conspiracy before somebody gets hurt? - A gripping thriller about spies and espionage that will leave you wanting more - A story of conspiracy that constantly leaves the read-er guessing with multiple twists and turns - A love story tangled up with danger that gives Bryan's writing a 007 vibe and leaves the reader rout-ing for love

Following Last of the Cold War Warriors and Last of the Cold War Warriors II, the author tracks the career of anti-hero Adam Collins of the Secret Intelligence Service aka MI6. On a high-risk operation ranging across Europe, their brief is to recover or render inoperable the US National Security Agency's new - and missing - cyber warfare programme, codenamed TERRAMAX. The body bag count inexorably rises, complicated by the involvement of other 'hostile' intelligence teams, also intent on gaining possession of the new cyber warfare system at any cost. Adam's joint operation team, comprising the SIS, NSA and NCS, find themselves playing a cat-and-mouse game with the anonymous 'Auctioneer', leading to a personal tragedy for Adam. After Adam's resignation from 'the Office', the story continues four years later - two of them having seen Adam in prison - as the SIS reappears in his life, making him an offer he knows he can't refuse. With a new partner, once again Adam finds himself crossing international time zones in a race against time to find the SIS 'mole' responsible for the elimination of several service officers and assets worldwide - with more to follow. With a brief to locate and extract or eliminate the 'mole', the operation will culminate in a virtual suicide mission in the People's Republic of China. The author, a non-person in intelligence terms, is noted for the depth of information and accurate detail in his writing, taking the reader on a rollercoaster ride into the world of shadows that is intelligence...
