Digital Fortressby Dan BrownISBN 0312335164 (0-312-33516-4)
Hardcover, St. Martin's Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Digital Fortress'Book summary:In most thrillers, "hardware" consists of big guns, airplanes, military vehicles, and weapons that make things explode. Dan Brown has written a thriller for those of us who like our hardware with disc drives and who rate our heroes by big brainpower rather than big firepower. It's an Internet user's spy novel where the good guys and bad guys struggle over secrets somewhat more intellectual than just where the secret formula is hidden--they have to gain understanding of what the secret formula actually is.
In this case, the secret formula is a new means of encryption, capable of changing the balance of international power. Part of the fun is that the book takes the reader along into an understanding of encryption technologies. You'll find yourself better understanding the political battles over such real-life technologies as the Clipper Chip and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) software even though the book looks at the issues through the eyes of fiction.
Although there's enough globehopping in this book for James Bond, the real battleground is cyberspace, because that's where the "bomb" (or rather, the new encryption algorithm) will explode. Yes, there are a few flaws in the plot if you look too closely, but the cleverness and the sheer fun of it all more than make up for them. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and a lot of high, gee-whiz-level information about encryption, code breaking, and the role they play in international politics. Set aside the whole afternoon and evening for it and have finger food on hand for supper--you may want to read this one straight through. [via]

The Eleventh Commandmentby Jeffrey ArcherISBN 0061013315 (0-06-101331-5)
Softcover, HarperCollins Canada, Limited
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Eleventh Commandment'Book summary:Former MP and prospective Mayor of London Jeffrey Archer's latest offering is an ambitious international thriller of expansive scope, a tale of espionage, intrigue and suspense at the very highest echelons of power. Archer wastes no time diving into his rollercoaster of a plot; we are introduced to our hero, Connor Fitzgerald, "the CIA's most deadly weapon", as he completes his mission--to assassinate a presidential candidate in Colombia. The far-reaching consequences of his act are not immediately apparent as he makes his way back to a loving wife and daughter and his life of "normality"--as far as they are concerned he is an insurance specialist--but in his inimitable style, Archer drives the plot along at speed, never lingering for longer than necessary as we are introduced to a succession of characters of great stature, ranging from the President of the United States to his headstrong CIA director and a new, extremist president in Russia. As the plot develops, Connor becomes ensnared in a political intrigue which will see him have to draw on all his wits and resourcefulness as he struggles for self-preservation and the safety of the free world as we know it.
One might assume that, given Archer's proximity to genuine political power for much of his life, he would be in a position to bring a greater realism to his story of high-stakes political manoeuvring than other authors without his experience. He certainly encourages this belief on his page of acknowledgements, which includes a former director of the CIA and FBI and a U.S. National Security Advisor. However, readers anticipating evidence of any great insight into this world should prepare to be disappointed--this is not where the strength of the book lies, although there are some nice touches, and a certain suspension of disbelief is necessary to get the best out of it. Mind you, one doesn't doubt that Archer's eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not be caught", is a maxim many politicians and power-brokers, himself included, have lived their lives by. Where he does succeed, though, is in story-telling, with a relentless plot and the creation of a sympathetic, if barely plausible, central character capable of drawing readers in and carrying them, thrill-a-minute, to a dramatic, surprising and ultimately satisfying conclusion. --Alisdair Bowles [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Executive Orders'Book summary:The president is dead--and the weight, literally, of the world falls on jack ryan's shoulders, in tom clancy's newest and most extraordinary novel. I don't know what to do. Where's the manual, the training course, for this job? whom do i ask? where do i go? debt of honor ended with tom clancy's most shocking conclusion ever; a joint session of congress destroyed, the president dead, most of the cabinet and the congress dead, the supreme court and the joint chiefs likewise. Dazed and confused, the man who only minutes before had been confirmed as the new vice-president of the united states is told that he is now president. President john patrick ryan. And that is where executive orders begins. Ryan had agreed to accept the vice-presidency only as a caretaker for a year, and now, suddenly an incalculable weight has fallen on his shoulders. How do you run a government without a government? where do you even begin? with stunning force, ryan's responsibilities crush on him. He must calm an anxious and grieving nation, allay the skepticism of the world's leaders, conduct a swift investigation of the tragedy, and arrange a massive state funeral--all while attempting to reconstitute a cabinet and a congress with the greatest possible speed. But that is not all. Many eyes are on him now, and many of them are unfriendly. In beijing, tehran, and other world capitals, including washington d.c., there are those eager to take advantage where they may, some of whom bear a deep animus toward the united states--some of whom, from ryan's past, harbor intense animosity toward the new president himself. Soon they will begin to move on their opportunities; soon they will present jack ryan with a crisis so big even he cannot imagine it. Tom clancy has written remarkable novels before, but nothing comparable to the timeliness and drama of executive orders. Filled with the exceptional realism and intricate plotting that are his hallmarks, it attests to the words of the st. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Mark of the Assassin'Book summary:Bestselling novelist Daniel Silva (author of The Unlikely Spy) draws upon his experience as a foreign correspondent and a Washington journalist in The Mark of the Assassin. Set in London, Cairo, Amsterdam, and Washington, the story line follows CIA case agent Michael Osbourne as he attempts to locate the terrorists who shot down an airliner off the coast of Long Island. Osbourne has two main antagonists: Delaroche, a KGB-trained expert assassin ordered to kill the handful of people who know the truth, including Osbourne, and the corrupt political culture of Washington, which ominously stymies him at every turn. There's a love story at the core of this book, as well as a brave attempt by Osbourne to reconcile a mystery in his past with a present he has not fully accepted. The prose is slick, and readers will find themselves racing through these pages as the body count grows and the conclusion nears. The Mark of the Assassin is a worthy effort from a rising star. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'On the Trail of the Saucer Spies: Ufos And Government Surveillance'Book summary:The Government knows all about UFOs. And it knows all about you, too. It isn't paranoia if you think "they" are watching you: they really are! Nick Redfern's timely new book, "On the Trail of the Saucer Spies: UFOs and Government Surveillance," reveals that Government, Military and Intelligence agencies have been secretly spying on UFO researchers, writers, investigators, and witnesses for decades -- and for countless reasons. If you've been watching the skies, or watching those who have been watching the skies, the government may have been watching you! Highlights of this groundbreaking book include: the FBI's reports on people who claim to have met extraterrestrials; Top Secret surveillance of alien-abductees; the real-life Men in Black who spy on UFO witnesses; phone-tapping and mail-interference of UFO researchers and authors; Scotland Yard's secret monitoring of UFO computer-hackers; classified files on researchers of the famous Roswell crash of 1947; official infiltration of Flying Saucer research groups; UFO writers suspected by the Government of working for hostile nations to uncover defense secrets; and much more. No one involved in the UFO mystery can afford to ignore this book. Nick Redfern is one of the world's foremost authorities on UFOS. His previous books include A Covert Agenda; The FBI Files; Cosmic Crashes; Strange Secrets (with Andy Roberts); Three Men Seeking Monsters; and Body Snatchers in the Desert. He has written for Military Illustrated; Eye Spy; Fate; Fortean Times; Phenomena Magazine; and the London Daily Express newspaper.

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Pretext for War : 9/11, Iraq, and the Abuse of America's Intelligence Agencies'Book summary:The bestselling author of Body of Secrets and The Puzzle Palace presents his most hard-hitting book to date-a sweeping, authoritative, and fearless account of the failures of America's intelligence agencies and the Bush administration's calculated efforts to sell a war to the American people.
In The Puzzle Palace, James Bamford revealed the existence of the NSA, the largest, most secretive, and best-financed intelligence organization in the world. In Body of Secrets, he took readers inside the ultrasecret agency, charting its deeds and misdeeds from its founding in 1952 to the end of the twentieth century. Now Bamford applies his relentless investigative drive and unparalleled access to intelligence sources to produce a headline-making book about the most pressing issues of the present day.
From the mishandling of the pre-9/11 threat to the unproven claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Bamford argues that the Bush administration has co-opted the intelligence community for its own political ends, and at the expense of American security. Bamford makes the case that the Bush administration's Middle East policy decisions, from overthrowing Saddam to ignoring the situation of the Palestinians, are driven by long-held beliefs and goals of an elite group of conservatives inside and outside of government.
A Pretext for War homes in on the systematic weakness that led the intelligence community to ignore or misinterpret evidence of the impending terrorist attacks of 9/11-a failure rooted in the refusal to acknowledge the central role of the Palestinian cause in igniting Arab rage against the United States. Compounding the errors, the Bush administration's immediate response to 9/11 was to call for an attack on Iraq, and it subsequently invented justifications for the preemptive war that has ultimately left the United States more vulnerable to terrorism.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Rainbow Six'Book summary:For many readers, Jack Ryan embodies the essence of the modern American hero. Morally centered, disciplined, humble yet powerful, Ryan (and his onscreen incarnations in Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford) has made Tom Clancy one of the most popular writers in the world. But as Clancy has constructed the Ryan mythology, he has quietly established Ryan's shadow double, John Clark. Appearing in The Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, and Without Remorse, Clark has many of Jack Ryan's most appealing traits, but he is also a darker figure embodying the more paranoid sensibilities of the late '90s. As is made clear from the opening pages of Rainbow Six, ex-Navy SEAL Clark and his colleagues believe violent, deadly force to be the best deterrent for terrorism.
Clark (a.k.a. Rainbow Six) has left the CIA to create an England-based organization code-named "Rainbow." Its mission: deploy an elite squad of American operatives combined with handpicked British, French, and German agents to stop terrorism in its tracks. Rainbow's emergence could not be more timely: in quick succession, the force diffuses three attempted terrorist actions. But Clark becomes suspicious when Russian agents suddenly show interest in Rainbow's work.
Rainbow Six appeals on all the levels that Clancy fans could hope for. The Rainbow operatives, from Navy SEALs to German mountain-leader school graduates, are rendered to inspire with their physical and mental prowess. The book is infatuated with the latest gadgets for scrambling, transmitting, and decoding secrets. And, in a carefully woven narrative that simultaneously traces the Rainbow team, a former KGB agent named Popov, the Australian Olympic security team, and a sinister group of American scientists, Clancy artfully reveals the mystery of "Shiva" at the center of the novel. How does Clark measure up against Jack Ryan? He may be the perfect hero for a world with hidden villains. --Patrick O'Kelley [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Adicto A La Guerra: Por QuT El EEUU No Puede Librarse Del Militarismo'Book summary:[via]The first Spanish-language edition of the illustrated exposé of U.S. military policy, Addicted to War. Political comics at its best. Bitterly amusing, lively and richly informative. For people of all ages who want to understand the link between U.S. militarism, foreign policy and corporate greed at home and abroad. Michael Parenti
Addicted to War . . . shows that the current war dance by the Bush administration is just the latest in a long series of foreign adventures that cause more damage than reward for us as a country. This book is one of the best tools we could hope for in making a transition from the U.S. being an empire to being just one nation in a community of nations.

Die Bruderschaft / the Brethrenby John GrishamISBN 3453210697 (3-453-21069-7)
Softcover, Heyne Wilhelm Verlag Gmbh

› Find signed collectible books: 'Die Bruderschaft / the Brethren'Book summary:Die Romane von John Grisham sind alle auf so geradezu systematische Weise erfolgreich gewesen, dass man leicht vergisst, dass er auch nur ein Schriftsteller ist, der sich still mit seinem Kugelschreiber abmüht, herumexperimentiert und mit jedem Buch besser wird. Wenn er als Prosa-Stilist auch nicht so begabt ist wie ein Scott Turow, so ist Grisham doch einer der besten Storyschreiber im Krimigeschäft. Seine Bücher sind von einer moralischen Anziehungskraft und einer kreativen Vision, die sie deutlich von denen seiner Kollegen abheben.
Die Bruderschaft ist in vielerlei Hinsicht sein bisher kühnstes Werk. Die Geschichte entwickelt sich aus zwei unterschiedlichen Nebenhandlungen heraus. In der ersten hecken drei inhaftierte ehemalige Richter (die im Titel erwähnte "Bruderschaft"), frustriert von ihrem Verlust von Macht und Einfluss, einen ausgeklügelten Erpressungsplan aus, der wohlhabende, verdeckt homosexuelle Männer zum Opfer haben soll. Die zweite Geschichte zeichnet den Aufstieg des Präsidentschaftskandidaten Aaron Lake nach, einer Marionette des machtgierigen CIA-Chefs Teddy Maynard.
Beide Erzählstränge werden im im Laufe der Handlung zusammengeführt. Grishams sorgfältige Personenbeschreibungen sind besonders beeindruckend. Ex-Richter Hatlee Beech beispielsweise ist ein faszinierender, tragischer Antiheld: ein Millionär mit lebenslanger Berufung auf sein Richteramt, der sich nach seiner Verurteilung wegen Trunkenheit am Steuer mit Todesfolge als einsamer, von Ehefrau und Freunden verlassener Mann wieder findet und obendrein noch pleite ist.
Die zynische Betrachtung der präsidialen Politik und des Strafrechts Amerikas wirft einen düsteren Schatten auf die Geschichte. CIA-Direktor Maynard ist ein allmächtiger Dämon, der sich bestens mit dem öffentlichen Willen und den öffentlichen Geldern auskennt und auch Macht über sie ausübt. Sogar sein Präsidentschaftskandidat, der Kongressabgeordnete Lake, ist eine Schachfigur in Maynards egomanischem Spiel um Anzeigenkampagnen, illegale Spenden und internationale Intrigen. Spannung bis zum Schluss! --Patrick O'Kelley [via]
