Foe : a novel / by Reid, Iain,1981-author.;
"We don't get visitors. Not out here. We never have. Junior and Hen are a quiet married couple. They live a comfortable, solitary life on their farm, far from the city lights, but in close quarters with each other. One day, a stranger from the city arrives with surprising news: Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm ... very far away. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Hen won't have a chance to miss him at all, because she won't be left alone-not even for a moment. Hen will have company. Familiar company. Foe examines the nature of domestic relationships, self-determination, and what it means to be (or not to be) a person. An eerily entrancing page-turner, it churns with unease and suspense from the first words to its shocking finale."--

This Eden / by O'Loughlin, Ed,author.;
"Alice and Michael meet at university: she is a young computer prodigy, he is a hapless engineer. First love is followed by a rift, and then Alice disappears -- suicide is suspected. Soon after, Michael is recruited by Campbell Fess, founder of the San Francisco tech firm Alice had been doing work for. But upon arrival he finds himself at the centre of a con managed by a spy named Aoife, who leads him to her handler, the shape-shifting government war-gamer Towse. Michael and Aoife are plunged into an urgent struggle that neither of them understands -- one that will take them by air and sea from California to New Jersey, the Ugandan rainforest, Jordan, Jerusalem, Paris, and finally Dublin, where Fess's crowning achievement will be unveiled. With This Eden, Ed O'Loughlin has crafted the spy novel into a sharp and engrossing narrative of a world overrun by cyber-warfare, moral bankruptcy, and the assassination of identity."--Provided by publisher.

The spymasters : how the CIA directors shape history and the future / by Whipple, Chris,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Only eleven men and one woman are alive today who have made the life-and-death decisions that come with running the world's most powerful and influential intelligence service.

[He pulls] back the curtain on the world's elite spy agencies and [shows] how the CIA partners--or clashes--with counterparts in Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Topics covered in the book include attempts by presidents to use the agency for their own ends, simmering problems in the Middle East and Asia, rogue nuclear threats, and cyberwarfare"--Amazon.com.

Spies : the epic intelligence war between East and West / by Walton, Calder,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The riveting, secret story of the hundred-year intelligence war between Russia and the West with lessons for our new superpower conflict with China. Spies is the history of the secret war that Russia and the West have been waging for a century. Espionage, sabotage, and subversion were the Kremlin's means to equalize the imbalance of resources between the East and West before, during, and after the Cold War. There was nothing "unprecedented" about Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. It was simply business as usual, new means used for old ends. The Cold War started long before 1945. But the West fought back after World War II, mounting its own shadow war, using disinformation, vast intelligence networks, and new technologies against the Soviet Union. Spies is an inspiring, engrossing story of the best and worst of mankind: bravery and honor, treachery and betrayal. The narrative shifts across continents and decades, from the freezing streets of St. Petersburg in 1917 to the bloody beaches of Normandy; from coups in faraway lands to present-day Moscow where troll farms, synthetic bots, and weaponized cyber-attacks being launched on the woefully unprepared West. It is about the rise and fall of eastern superpowers: Russia's past and present and the global ascendance of China. Mining hitherto secret archives in multiple languages, Calder Walton shows that the Cold War started earlier than commonly assumed, that it continued even after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, and that Britain and America's clandestine struggle with the Soviet government provides key lessons for countering China today. This fresh reading of history, combined with practical takeaways for our current great power struggles, make Spies a unique and essential addition to the history of the Cold War and the unrolling conflict between the United States and China that will dominate the 21st century"--

Countdown to midnight : a novel / by Brown, Dale,1956-author.;
Nick Flynn is back in action, and he has a new employer--a shadowy intelligence outfit whose roots go back to the very beginning of the Cold War. But his first mission for them almost becomes his last. While meeting with a high-ranking Iranian dissident in the Austrian Alps, Flynn is ambushed and nearly killed ... just after learning that Iran and Russia are working together on a mysterious project--one they have codenamed MIDNIGHT. Flynn is determined to uncover MIDNIGHT's lethal secrets. Why are Moscow and Tehran covertly retrofitting a massive oil tanker in an Iranian port? What purpose lies behind their closely guarded effort, the brainchild of Pavel Voronin--a ruthless billionaire allied with Russia's autocratic president? Flynn and his new team plan to put an end to the nefarious project, but they're dogged at every step by Voronin's hired Raven Syndicate killers--elite veterans of Russia's special forces and intelligence services. As they track the enemy from the streets of Vienna to deep inside hostile Iran, Flynn and his crew must repeatedly risk their lives to pierce the layers of deception around this shadow war. It's a race against time to stop Voronin from launching his terrifying new weapon against the United States--potentially killing hundreds of millions and overturning the world's balance of power forever. The odds are stacked high against Flynn and his team ... but that's never stopped Nick before.
