Four Incredible, critically-acclaimed novels of espionage and
adventure by Jimmy Sangster...two featuring ex-spy John Smith and
two featuring secret agent Katy Touchfeather "There's nothing
ordinary about this. It's big league intrigue." Kirkus Reviews THE
SPY KILLER Ex-British spy John Smith is nearly broke, has bad
teeth, is lousy in bed, and drinks too much. But he's no fool...and
underestimating him would be a fatal mistake. He blackmailed his
way out of the secret service years ago and is barely making a
living as a London private eye when his ex-wife comes calling and
asks him to follow her philandering husband. But that
all-too-common job leads to him a deadly web of international
espionage, betrayal, and killing. "An exquisite series launch. A
tight and often violent tale of intrigue. Spy fiction fans will
revel in this dark, witty story." Publishers Weekly "Very astutely
plotted, with many surprising twists and a sharp bite" The New York
Times This novel was adapted into a feature film starring Robert
Horton, Jill St. John and Sebastian Cabot. FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Ex-British spy John Smith blackmailed his way out of the secret
service years ago and is content barely scraping by as a private
eye. But then his manipulative and totally untrustworthy ex-spy
master offers him a lucrative payday to participate in high-risk
operation on the other side of the Iron Curtain...or face
involuntary commitment to an insane asylum if he refuses.
"Breathlessly paced, wickedly funny, with a naughty, but hilarious
climax." St. Louis Post-Dispatch "With sexy foreplay & an
intriguing plot, FOREIGN EXCHANGE is one of the best kept secrets
of the spy genre." Paperback Warrior This novel was also adapted
into a feature film starring Robert Horton, Jill St. John and
Sebastian Cabot. TOUCHFEATHER It's 1970. Katy Touchfeather is a
fun-loving, British spy with a cheeky attitude and lethal
skills...and working undercover as a stewardess for an
international airline. Katy is assigned to track down a scientist
suspected of selling secrets to the Russians. It's a high-stakes,
global escapade that could cost Katy her life. "Bubbly,
irrepressible... drawn by her breezy, chatty first-person
narrative, readers will cheer Katy on as she skates around with
flamboyant grace." Publishers Weekly "Sangster's novel may seem
like a satire to the uninitiated. But it only takes a few opening
pages to realize that it is a genuine spy novel - with a unique,
and noticeably unusual female perspective. TOUCHFEATHER presents an
entertaining and refreshingly different take on the male-dominated
world of spy fiction." Bookgasm "Exhilarating...it's a winner!"
Irish Times TOUCHFEATHER, TOO Katy's assignment is to bring down
what appears to be a gold smuggling operation...but it's something
far worse and much deadlier. "Jolly & Preposterous Intrigue."
New York Times"A clever, high-spirited story." Times Literary
Supplement (London)
An uproariously funny adventure in the tradition of Dr.
Strangelove, M*A*S*H and Catch-22. Anthony Bridges is a hapless,
over-sexed, unemployable Brit who lives in London with a wealthy
young woman who is eager to marry him...a fate he'd like to avoid,
but he can't afford any other options. Lucky for him, her father
doesn't want the wedding to happen either, and offers Anthony a
well-paying job abroad in exchange for ditching his daughter.
Anthony gladly agrees, unaware that he's just signed on as an
international arms dealer. He's immediately plunged into the middle
of a rebellion in a tiny South American country that's perpetually
at war and soon discovers why the first rule of the cut-throat
business is "never turn your back on a satisfied customer."
"Rollicking and bawdy. This novel can be opened to almost any page
and provide a laugh." Chicago Tribune "Biting satire of life in
general and the armaments trade in particular. An entertaining
tale." Honolulu Star-Bulletin "A delightful farce, skillfully
told." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Stewardess with a License to Kill is Back! Katy Touchfeather is
a fun-loving, British spy with a cheeky attitude and lethal skills
who travels the world as a stewardess. Her latest assignment is to
bring down what appears to be a gold smuggling operation...but is
something far worse. It's a globetrotting, espionage adventure that
takes her from London to a lavish yacht on the high-seas, from the
jungles of Africa to the beaches of the Bahamas, and that pits her
against one of richest men on earth and a deadly torturess who
loves to extract information in agonizingly creative ways...and
can't wait to try them all on Katy. Praise for the Touchfeather
Thrillers "Bubbly, irrepressible... drawn by her breezy, chatty
first-person narrative, readers will cheer Katy on as she skates
around with flamboyant grace." Publishers Weekly "Freshness and
humor are rare qualities in a thriller nowadays. They're here in
plenty. Exhilarating verve and expertise. It's a winner!" Irish
Times "A clever, high-spirited story that ends with murder of
exceptional ingenuity and panache." Times Literary Supplement
(London) "Nancy Drew superhormone-genized." Kirkus Reviews
The wild, swinging '60s spy adventure is back! Katy Touchfeather is
a carefree, red-headed, airline stewardess who is actually a top
British spy. She's lethal, seductive, and as ruthless as any
double-O. Her latest assignment is to track down a scientist
suspected of selling secrets to the Russians. It's a high-stakes,
global escapade that takes an unexpected violent turn that shatters
her life...and ultimately pits her against a billionaire
industrialist with terrifying intentions. "Jolly & Preposterous
Intrigue." New York Times "Nancy Drew super-hormonegized" Kirkus
Reviews "A clever, high-spirited story." Times Literary Supplement
(London) "Exhilarating...it's a winner!" Irish Times

of the Classic Universal Monster Films. Today the remakes

Story With an introduction by Michael Hartley
The career of towering, handsome actor Christopher Lee has
stretched over half a century in every sort of film from comedy to
horror. He has assumed such diverse roles as the Man With the
Golden Gun, Frankenstein's monster, Fu Manchu, Sherlock Holmes, and
Dr. Catheter (from ""Gremlins 2""). From ""Corridor of Mirrors"" in
1948 to ""Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones"" in 2002,
this reference book covers 166 of Lee's theatrical feature films in
detail. Each entry provides all production information (including
year of release, studio, running time, and location), full credits
for cast and crew, a synopsis of the film, and a critical analysis
of the film and Lee's involvement, with a detailed account of its
making and commentary drawn from some thirty hours of interviews
with Lee himself. Each entry also places the film within the
context of Lee's career and discusses the director and other
significant figures. Two appendices list Lee's television feature
films and miniseries and Lee's short films, with brief credits and
Lee's role in each. The work concludes with an afterword by
Christopher Lee. Photographs from the actor's private collection
are included in the title.
