Publisher's Summary:

Grand Master of crime fiction Dorothy Salisbury Davis delivers a thrilling tale of Cold War-era espionage and murder. One afternoon in Manhattan's Washington Square Park, Eric Mather is approached by two men, Tom and Jerry, with a business proposal: a bit of light espionage that may be considered treason. Eric's friend and colleague, physics professor Peter Bradley, is on his way back from an international conference in Athens. In his briefcase is a roll of film that must be confiscated to keep the Cold War from turning hot. Bradley won't miss this little roll of film, they say, and nobody will get hurt. When Bradley is stabbed to death in an apartment on East Tenth Street, Eric realizes he has made a bargain with the wrong people. Desperate to make up for betraying his friend, he ventures into a shadowy world of danger and intrigue as he sets out to learn everything he can about Tom and Jerry - two foreign agents engaged in an atomic game of cat and mouse.

Publisher's Summary:

A storm is coming.... Introducing a pulse-pounding technothriller by the New York Times best-selling author of Arctic Rising

Prudence "Roo" Jones never thought he'd have a family to look after - until suddenly he found himself taking care of his orphaned teenage nephew. Roo, a former Caribbean Intelligence operative, spends his downtime on his catamaran dodging the punishing hurricanes that are the new norm in the Caribbean. Roo enjoys the simple calm of his new life - until an unexpected package from a murdered fellow spy shows up. Suddenly Roo is thrown into the center of the biggest storm of all.

Using his wits - and some of the more violent tricks of his former trade - Roo begins to unravel the mystery that got his friend killed. When a polished and cunning woman claiming to be murdered spy's sister appears, the two find themselves caught up in a global conspiracy with a weapon that could change the face of the world forever.

In Hurricane Fever, New York Times bestselling author Tobias Buckell (Arctic Rising, Halo: The Cole Protocol) has crafted a kinetic technothriller perfect for fans of action-packed espionage within a smartly drawn geo-political landscape. Roo is an anti-James Bond for a new generation.

Members Reviews:

A good listen with excellent narration

Hurricane Fever walks a thin line between action thriller and vacation read. The tropical setting makes this book almost serene (if you listen to the audio book the narrator helps), while the characters rush headlong into a conspiracy they didnt wish for. With a good balance of character development, plot progression and action this well written thriller is a fun and interesting listen.

Mr. Onayemi does a wonderful job with the narration brining the characters to life with all of their various accents.

Austin Powers level plot and villain

I posted a long review of this on Goodreads and don't have the energy for more. Summary: intriguing world building and politics, an interesting protagonist, followed by a series of dumb decisions on the part of the protagonist and villain leaving us with ... well, the typical James Bond villain explaining his eeeeeevil plot and then putting our hero into a ridiculously complicated death trap and leaving him unattended. I really enjoyed Arctic Rising and I did like the first part of the book - dealing with the tropical storm, for example. The rest? Save your credit.

Story

The story is based on a premise that makes no sense. Why did the Swiss guard bury the scroll if they thought it would destroy Christian religion? Either burn it or put it in a vault. If you don't burn it then explain why it needs to stay in tact since the Swiss guard is murdering everyone to keep the secret.

great book for intermediate level german learners

This book was very entertaining, and is good for an intermediate level german student, the writing is neither simple or overly complex, and most important of all the story is good and keeps you hooked...... if you are an intermediate level german reader though you should get the pons german dictionary to get a quick definition for any words you dont know..... it doesnt work for everything (especially those seperable prefix verbs) but is a big help and even without it this book is really good in that the context very often will give you an idea of what any unknown words mean.

Super Krimi

Spannender Krimi von Anfang bis Ende.

The book got better and better.....

I took me a while to get into this book, I found it a bit confusing in the beginning, but then, I got hooked and could not put it down until the mystery was solved! I bought immediately the second thriller with inspector Tony Braun, because I got to like him, and I was not disappointed. I found the second book "Freunde muessen toeten" even better than the first one!

Five Stars

Packed mit violence Wendungen

Erste Sahne... Well Done

Sehr guter Spannungsbogen, fesselnder Stil, optimale Charakterabgrenzung! Der Held ist fast Anti, der Bösewicht bleibt im Verborgenen und am Anfang ist klar.... Hier stimmt was nicht!

Optimale Lektüre für Fans des Realo-Krimis

Danke an die Autoren!

PS. Die anderen Books hab ich auch gecheckt und der Stil zieht sich durch. Ich werd sie mir reinziehen

An einem Sonntagmorgen werden Jan Tommen und seine Freundin Betty von Jans Kollegen der Berliner Mordkommission aus dem Bett geklingelt. Er steht unter dringendem Tatverdacht, die Beweislage ist eindeutig: Sein Auto wurde am Tatort gesehen, die Tatwaffe ist mit seinen Fingerabdrücken übersät und seine DNA wurde am Opfer gefunden. Bei dem Toten handelt es sich um Richter Georg Holoch, der Jan vor Jahren wegen Körperverletzung im Dienst verurteilte. Damit gibt es auch ein Motiv.

Publisher's Summary:

A cli-fi spy novel by a prizewinning novelist and former top-level French intelligence officer.

A fast-paced combination of environmental catastrophe, geopolitical stakes, freelance spies and Bond-like action. The Arctic ice caps are breaking up. Europe and the East Coast of the United States brace for a tidal wave. Meanwhile, former French intelligence officer John Spencer Larivire, his karate-trained, steamy Eurasian partner, Victoire, and their computer-genius sidekick, Luc, pick up an ordinary freelance assignment that quickly leads them into the glacial silence of the great north, where a merciless war is being waged for control of discoveries that will change the future of humanity.

Members Reviews:

excellent and intelligent

I must confess I have not read much French literature - unable to read the original and have not really thought about the translations of the classics. This book has changed my mind and made me want to read more - from this author certainly.

This is a complex book, and it clearly is written in a French style, as recognisable as French film. Characters are well-defined and the story is well-developed. Consider also that the author has practical extensive experience in the world of intelligence, and this book makes for fascinating reading. Geopolitical catastrophes mixed with good old fashioned thriller scenarios - and you have this book in a nutshell.

You will not find this an easy read. The variety of characters, and the complex interplay makes this book both rich and at times confusing. I found it fascinating, refreshing and satisfying. Why only 4 stars? I found the climatic changes too grotesque for my comfort. It perfectly meets the needs of plot, but I found it a small distraction. Buy the book - it is excellent.

Global warming murder mystery

Translated from the French, this action mystery ties into current global-warming issues from a world perspective. While the lead characters are French, other key characters cover wide parts of the globe, and the resolution of the murder-mystery is clever and barely predictable. Switching focal points for each chapter allowed the multiple plot paths to gradually converge, keeping interest keen.

A fast paced glimpse into what may be our future.

A good and timely read with up to date - and maybe future geopolitical and sociopolitical implications. Fast paced and suspenseful. The complex plot is well developed and the ends are reasonably tied.

Very interesting!

Needed better editing, but story was great! Hope it doesn't come true ever! It reminds me that we live in a greedy world.

Loved the setting and two of the characters, but it just wasn't enough

I have to admit that the main reason why I chose to read this book is that I'm quite the armchair traveler, and I had yet to read a book set in Greenland. I also like to read thrillers with environmental elements to them. Unfortunately, once I'd finished reading The Greenland Breach, I felt the synopsis was the best part of the book.

The two strong elements in the book were its depiction of Greenland and two of the main characters. With the melting of the ice caps, Greenland is seen as a land that's literally coming apart at the seams, and this definitely ratchets up the adrenaline and the suspense.

Publisher's Summary:

In the summer of 1929, Weimar Germany's secret military agreement in the 1920s with the USSR to evade the Versailles Treaty and develop new weapon systems beyond the Ural Mountains is about to bear fruit. Aided by a shadowy international conspiracy of arms dealers, industrialists, and financiers, both countries are poised to dismember the newly independent Poland created in the aftermath of the Great War. To distract Britain from helping the Poles and risking a new world war, the conspiracy intends to foment a coup d'etat in the Irish Free State, the newest member of the British Commonwealth whose 1922 civil war with the IRA is a fresh memory.

Meanwhile, on the eve of a long holiday in North America after his Tory party lost an election, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, b>Winston Churchill,receives a clandestine assignment from the new Socialist Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. The British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) has learned the IRA is about to buy a massive amount of arms in the United States to facilitate their coup d'etat in the Irish Free State. MacDonald is sending a team of SIS agents to the United States to investigate and document the IRA's plans. He asks Churchill to use the SIS information to persuade the U.S. President Herbert Hoover to stop the arms from leaving the country.

But a cautious Churchill, wary of anti-Irish Free State sentiments in the SIS, assembles his own private team to conduct a parallel investigation.

Enjoyable

The book takes place during Churchills 1929 trip to Canada and the United States. Churchill though he is present throughout much of the book, actually plays a relatively minor role. Churchill wrote newspaper articles for William Randolph Hearst during the trip which helped finance the trip along with his fees for speaking engagements. With the name deValera in the title I knew much of the book will be about the IRA and Ireland. Eamon de Valera 1882-1975 was a dominant political figure in the 20th century Ireland. He was one of the leaders for independence. He held multiple terms as head of government when Ireland gained its freedom from Britain. He was in the United States at the same time as Churchill raising funds for Ireland. The authors portrayed him in an antithetical way in the book. The authors used a fictional son of U.S. Representative William Bourke Conkran as the protagonist. Churchill asks Conkran to help track down the financial sources for arms to be supplied to the IRA. More conflict in Ireland is the last thing Britain needs; who fear Germany is allying with Russia to rebuild its economy and military. The book is a combination of creative historical fact, speculation, and political controversy, revealing greed, and power motive influential men in powerful leadership roles in government, industry, finance and media. I had fun trying to sort out the real and the fictional players and situations. I enjoyed the descriptions of the Hearst home (castle) as I have been their numerous times over the years. Some of the key players that are real were Churchill, Hearst, DeValera, and Hoover. The story starts in eastern Canada and proceeds across the country with the majority of the action in California. I enjoyed the description of the trip of the Graf Zeppelin on its world tour.

In the savannahs of Namibia, a boxcar sits, locked and watched. There is no limit to how many people would die from what's inside. There is no limit to how many people would kill for it.
