Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh agents want to use the British spy in an operation that will change the balance of world power. Bond is smuggled into the lion's den - but whose orders is he following, and will he obey them when the moment of truth arrives?
In a mission where treachery is all around and one false move means death, Bond must grapple with the darkest questions about himself. But not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.

A fast and furious, Machiavellian plot that once you begin reading,
you can't put it down.--Webb Sawyer, author of Blue Heron Marsh
Loved it...a thrilling read from cover to cover--Elrod Stanton,
author of Hunting Ground Henry Ellis becomes embroiled in an
international incident when a chartered Iberian Air jet loaded with
American high school students, including his twin son and daughter,
is hijacked. Beneath the fade of a simple hijacking by Palestinian
terrorists there is a much deeper plot, one that involves the overt
Basque separatist group known as ETA, a covert Catalan separatist
cabal led by a clique of old men who are holdovers from the Spanish
Civil War, and, hidden even deeper in the confused trail of
deception, an ex-CIA agent driven by an obsession for revenge.
While Henry acts to save his children from their fate at the hands
of the hijackers, the twins, Jennie and Theo, are drawn into a
contest of wills with the Palestinian terrorists. In a bizarre turn
of events, Henry Ellis strikes an unholy bargain with the infamous
international terrorist and assassin, El S'Khah.
Toe Mata Hari in Parys aangekom het, was sy platsak. Kort daarna is
sy gevier as die elegantste vrou in die stad. As ’n danseres het sy
gehore geskok en verruk, as ’n vertroueling en courtisane het sy
die rykste en magtigste mans van haar era betower. Maar paranoia as
gevolg van die oorlog het Frankryk verteer, en Mata Hari se
leefstyl het haar onder verdenking geplaas. In 1917 is sy
gearresteer in haar hotelkamer aan die Champs-Elysees en van
spioenasie aangekla. Die Spioen is die onvergeetlike verhaal van ’n
vrou wat dit gewaag het om die konvensies van haar tyd uit te daag
en die prys daarvoor betaal het, soos vertel in Mata Hari se stem
in haar finale brief.

The world's most ruthlessly efficient assassin, Jason Bourne, has
carved a bloody swathe through all his opponents but now he's
facing the one force he can't defeat - his own past - in the latest
thrilling entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling
series. Three years ago, Jason Bourne embarked on a mission in
Estonia with his partner and lover, a fiery UK-based Treadstone
agent codenamed Nova. Their job was to rescue a Russian scientist
and activist, the leader of an anti-Putin protest movement, who'd
recently been smuggled out of St. Petersburg in the midst of an FSB
manhunt. They failed. Now, three years later, everything has
changed for Bourne. Nova is gone, killed in a mass shooting in Las
Vegas. Bourne is a lone operative working in the shadows for
Treadstone. He's ready for a new mission when his handler bring him
shocking news. The Estonian mission was a set up. Their target had
not been killed. She is still in hiding in Russia and the Russian
State Intelligence Agency is desperately seeking her. Bourne must
find her first, but his race to correct the errors of the past will
lead him to one inevitable conclusion: Some secrets should stay
buried.
It is December of 2007 just outside Antwerp, Belgium, when
Richard Van Pelt storms out of the dining room of his father's
residence. Time is running out for their family's copper-tubing
company. With the Chinese nipping at their heels and the Brazilians
not far behind, Optitube is doomed if the family does not take
action soon. With a willing Japanese partner waiting in the wings,
it seems everything is in line for a successful merger of two
companies. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees.
In Japan, the young and beautiful Natsumi Honma anxiously awaits
the joint venture between her father's company and Optitube. She
has not only a fi nancial interest in the merger, but also a
growing love interest in Richard. As the two continue to develop a
passionate relationship across the ocean, jealousy, greed, and
ambition drive a wedge between family members and instigate the
creation of multiple plots that soon threaten both Richard's and
Natsumi's lives.
In this intriguing tale fueled by age-old confl icts and cruel
ambition, a merger hangs in the balance as Natsumi suddenly goes
missing. Now it is up to Richard to save both her and his
company-before it is too late.
My spy classmate, Andy Anderson, has written a delicious follow-on
to Greene's Our Man in Havana in his novel Sudden Recall. It is at
the same time funny, fast-paced, current and full of wisdom. It may
provoke a few flashes of indignation in Langley and on the Hill but
John Hunt's outbursts are long overdue. -Fred Hitz, Professor of
Law, University of Virginia, former Inspector General of the CIA
and author of The Great Game: The Myth and Reality of Espionage.
Andy Anderson was John Carol Kingsberry Hunt-one of the dangerously
ambitious bad-boy field case-officers who bedded their mistresses
in safe-houses and recruited high risk, dangerous spies without
prior CIA headquarter's approval.We used to say his operational
reporting reads like fiction-today it is the other way around.
-Richard W. Carlson, US Ambassador (ret.) Former Director of the
Voice of America Fact and fiction blur in this hall-of-mirrors
espionage novel by CIA spy master Andy Anderson, who lays bare the
awful truth about what went wrong-and is still going wrong-in
America's war on terror. Sudden Recall is the inside scoop. -Rick
Carroll, author of IZ Voice of The People, and former daily
journalist with the San Francisco Chronicle
