Breaking the Codes: Australia's KGB Network, 1944-1950by Desmond Ball, D. M. HornerISBN 1864485787 (1-86448-578-7)
Softcover, Allen & Unwin
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Breaking the Codes: Australia's KGB Network, 1944-1950'Book summary:In December 1944 General Blamey, the Commander in Chief of the Australian Military Forces, was handed a file. It contained decrypted radio intercepts which proved that the Imperial Japanese Army was receiving top secret information - US and Australian war plans. Material that could lead to the death of Allied servicemen in the Pacific. The most likely source: Canberra. So began a hunt which took five years, involved the world's most secret intelligence organizations and resulted in the exposure of neutralization of a Soviet espionage network in Australia. "Breaking the Codes" is a story of international counter-esionage and signals intelligence. It tells of a secret war which sowed the seeds of suspicion in Moscow, Washington and London, seeds which flowered in the Cold War and led to the creation of ASIO. This ground-breaking study shows how signals intelligence helped uncover the KGB's activities in wartime Australia. It tells how counter-intelligence, through a partnership with MI5, provided the details - the names and roles of members of a network of informants run by the Soviet Embassy in Canberra. Australians who, whatever their motives, were playing a dangerous game as a World War was being fought and a Cold War was being born. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Piel Del Tambor/the Seville Communion'Book summary:A hacker breaks into the Vatican's system. A baroque church in Seville kills to protect itself. A beautiful Andalusian aristocrat, a handsome priest/agent who handles the Church's dirty work, a jealous banker and his gambling secretary, a seventy-year-old woman who only drinks coke, a postcard from a woman dead a hundred years ago, and the mysterious legacy of Xaloc-the last Spanish privateer, who vanished from the Cuban coast in 1898-are the building blocks for this ingenious, complex and fascinating novel. Description in Spanish: Un pirata informatico que se infiltra en el Vaticano. Una iglesia barroca, en Sevilla, que mata para defenderse. Tres pintorescos malvados que aspiran a mantener viva la copla espanola. Una bella aristocrata andaluza. Un apuesto sacerdote-agente especialista en asuntos sucios. Un banquero celoso y su secretario ludopata. Una septuagenaria que bebe coca-cola. La tarjeta postal de una mujer muerta un siglo atras. Y el misterioso legado del capitan Xaloc, ultimo corsario espanol, desaparecido frente a las costas de Cuba en 1898. Con esos ingredientes, Arturo Perez-Reverte construye en La piel del tambor una ingeniosa, compleja y fascinante trama novelesca. Con su imaginacion desbordante, su espectacular dominio de la ingenieria narrativa y de los diversos generos superpuestos -misterio, policiaco, historia, romanticismo, aventura, folletin- el autor nos sumerge sin aliento en una historia que corta al lector cualquier posible retirada, arrastrandolo a un enigma cuya clave se esconde a la sombra de los viejos muelles del Guadalquivir; donde todavia hoy, en las noches de luna llena, sombras de mujer agitan sus panuelos y goletas tripuladas por fantasmas siguen zarpando rumbo a las Antillas.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Le Testament / the Testament'Book summary:Troy Phelan n'aura réussi qu'une chose : bâtir une fortune de onze milliards de dollars. Quand pour lui sonne le glas, ses trois ex-femmes et ses six enfants se frottent les mains... Mais le vieillard a déshérité tout ce beau monde au profit d'une septième enfant adultérine, Rachel. Problème : celle qui devient potentiellement une des femmes les plus riches du monde est en mission humanitaire au Pantanal, Brésil, une des régions les plus reculées du globe. Nate O'Riley, un avocat alcoolique et suicidaire est envoyé à sa recherche.
Sur le thème "l'argent rend fou, l'alcool aussi", John Grisham livre un nouveau best-seller. A mi-chemin entre le roman d'aventures et ses habituels thrillers inspirés de son expérience d'avocat, l'auteur de L'affaire Pélican tisse la toile d'un récit passionnant, marqué par les délires des familles légitimes et surtout par les personnalités de l'avocat alcoolique et de l'héritière, la seule justement à être désintéressée ! La description du Pantanal est hallucinante. --Bruno Ménard [via]

The Man Who Was Thursdayby G. K. ChestertonISBN 1853262366 (1-85326-236-6)
Softcover, Wordsworth Editions, Limited
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Man Who Was Thursday'Book summary:In an article published the day before his death, G.K. Chesterton called The Man Who Was Thursday "a very melodramatic sort of moonshine." Set in a phantasmagoric London where policemen are poets and anarchists camouflage themselves as, well, anarchists, his 1907 novel offers up one highly colored enigma after another. If that weren't enough, the author also throws in an elephant chase and a hot-air-balloon pursuit in which the pursuers suffer from "the persistent refusal of the balloon to follow the roads, and the still more persistent refusal of the cabmen to follow the balloon."
But Chesterton is also concerned with more serious questions of honor and truth (and less serious ones, perhaps, of duels and dualism). Our hero is Gabriel Syme, a policeman who cannot reveal that his fellow poet Lucian Gregory is an anarchist. In Chesterton's agile, antic hands, Syme is the virtual embodiment of paradox:
He came of a family of cranks, in which all the oldest people had all the newest notions. One of his uncles always walked about without a hat, and another had made an unsuccessful attempt to walk about with a hat and nothing else. His father cultivated art and self-realization; his mother went in for simplicity and hygiene. Hence the child, during his tenderer years, was wholly unacquainted with any drink between the extremes of absinthe and cocoa, of both of which he had a healthy dislike.... Being surrounded with every conceivable kind of revolt from infancy, Gabriel had to revolt into something, so he revolted into the only thing left--sanity.
Elected undercover into the Central European Council of anarchists, Syme must avoid discovery and save the world from any bombings in the offing. As Thursday (each anarchist takes the name of a weekday--the only quotidian thing about this fantasia) does his best to undo his new colleagues, the masks multiply. The question then becomes: Do they reveal or conceal? And who, not to mention what, can be believed? As The Man Who Was Thursday proceeds, it becomes a hilarious numbers game with a more serious undertone--what happens if most members of the council actually turn out to be on the side of right? Chesterton's tour de force is a thriller that is best read slowly, so as to savor his highly anarchic take on anarchy. --Kerry Fried [via]More editions of The Man Who Was Thursday:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Secret History of S O E'Book summary:[via]At the end of World War II, the Cabinet Office commissioned an eminent academic, Professor William Mackenzie, to undertake a comprehensive secret history of Special Operations Executive. Given access to both personnel and the surviving wartime files, Mackenzie's report was a reference document to be used by intelligence agencies in a future conflict, its audience the very elite of Whitehall insiders. Now, this highly classified account has been made available. Never before have SOE's operations across the world been described in such detail and with total authority. Mackenzie's document explores numerous controversies and reveals dozens of previously undisclosed episodes from Britain's secret war against the Axis. Who were the agents parachuted in Germany? What became of schemes designed to protect Gibraltar from a Spanish invasion? When did SOE decide to collaborate with the NKVD and infiltrate Soviet spies into Eastern Europe? These and other wartime mysteries are packed into one of the most controversial documents of our time.More editions of The Secret History of S O E:

Seville Communionby Arturo Perez-ReverteISBN 1860465536 (1-86046-553-6)
Softcover, Harvill Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Seville Communion'Book summary:Spain's Arturo Perez-Reverte continues his string of comfortably old-fashioned, modestly intellectual thrillers with a touching and suspenseful story of faith and duty, set in the timeless and enchanting city of Seville. "In Seville different histories were superimposed and interdependent," he writes, aided by Sonia Soto's seamless translation. "A rosary stringing together time, blood and prayers in different languages beneath a blue sky and wise sun that leveled everything over the centuries. Stone survivors that could still be heard. You just had to forget for a moment the camcorders, postcards, coaches full of tourists and cheeky young girls, and put your ear to the stones and listen." As in his previous surprise bestsellers--The Club Dumas and The Flanders Panel, both available in paperback--Perez-Reverte takes a supposedly cool observer and turns the person into a hot-blooded participant in the action. In The Seville Communion it's Father Lorenzo Quart, who works for an investigative branch of the Vatican that is referred to by an angry, upstaged Archbishop of Seville as "you and your mafiosi in Rome, playing God's police." Father Quart, a very attractive man with prematurely gray hair cropped short, wears expensive suits and has to fight off the women who test his vows of celibacy. His toughest challenge is a breathtaking, titled beauty named Macarena, whose banker husband is at the center of a plot to tear down a historic church. Two people have already been killed because of the intrigue, and more violence threatens as Father Quart is pursued by a trio of ineptly dangerous villains, straight out of Bogart's Beat the Devil, through the gorgeous streets of a city to die for.

In a country where the headquarters of the secret police can become a museum literally overnight, and one in 50 East Germans were informing on their countrymen and women, there are a thousand stories just waiting to get out. Anna Funder tells extraordinary tales from the underbelly of the former East Germany - she meets Miriam, who as a 16-year-old might have started World War III, visits the man who painted the line which became the Berlin Wall and gets drunk with the legendary "Mik Jegger" of the East, once declared by the authorities to his face to "no longer to exist".

› Find signed collectible books: 'Under Western Eyes: Library Edition'Book summary:Espionage novel. Conrad's other novel of this same kind is "The Secret Agent." According to Wikipedia: "Joseph Conrad (1857 1924) was a Polish-born English novelist. Many critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in the English languagea fact that is remarkable, as he did not learn to speak English fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a strong Polish accent). He became a naturalized British subject in 1886. Conrad is recognized as a master prose stylist. Some of his works have a strain of romanticism, but more importantly he is recognized as an important forerunner of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many writers, including Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greene, William S. Burroughs, Joseph Heller, V.S. Naipaul, Italo Calvino and J. M. Coetzee." [via]

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicleby Haruki MurakamiISBN 1860464696 (1-86046-469-6)
Softcover, Harvill Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle'Book summary:Bad things come in threes for Toru Okada. He loses his job, his cat disappears, and then his wife fails to return from work. His search for his wife (and his cat) introduces him to a bizarre collection of characters, including two psychic sisters, a possibly unbalanced teenager, an old soldier who witnessed the massacres on the Chinese mainland at the beginning of the Second World War, and a very shady politician.
Haruki Murakami is a master of subtly disturbing prose. Mundane events throb with menace, while the bizarre is accepted without comment. Meaning always seems to be just out of reach, for the reader as well as for the characters, yet one is drawn inexorably into a mystery that may have no solution. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is an extended meditation on themes that appear throughout Murakami's earlier work. The tropes of popular culture, movies, music, detective stories, combine to create a work that explores both the surface and the hidden depths of Japanese society at the end of the 20th century.
If it were possible to isolate one theme in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, that theme would be responsibility. The atrocities committed by the Japanese army in China keep rising to the surface like a repressed memory, and Toru Okada himself is compelled by events to take responsibility for his actions and struggle with his essentially passive nature. If Toru is supposed to be a Japanese Everyman, steeped as he is in Western popular culture and ignorant of the secret history of his own nation, this novel paints a bleak picture. Like the winding up of the titular bird, Murakami slowly twists the gossamer threads of his story into something of considerable weight. --Simon Leake [via]

Blurb in Spanish:
Catherine Velis, una alta ejecutiva experta en ordenadores, se ve atrapada sin quererlo en la búsqueda de un legendario ajedrez que perteneció al emperador Carlomagno. El campeón soviético de este deporte, de gira por Nueva York, le advierte que corre un grave riesgo si se empeña en encontrar las piezas, pues en ellas reside la clave de una antigua fórmula ligada a la alquimia, la masonería y los poderes cósmicos. Ese mágico ajedrez, enterrado durante mil años en una abadía francesa, nos conducirá -de 1790 a 1970- por la historia de los personajes que poseyeron sus piezas y por la larga serie de crímenes que se cometieron para hacerse con ellas. Los personajes van desde Napoleón, Robespierre y Casanova, hasta Voltaire, Newton o Catalina la grande. Pero los crímenes todavía no han terminado. [via]
