Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Summer 1914. In the quiet, hallowed halls of the British Foreign Office, junior clerk Raymond Clinton believes he is serving the cause of peace. He meticulously transcribes a top-secret naval treaty with Germany, a document designed to prevent the very war that looms over Europe. His world is one of polite society, diplomatic ink, and the unshakeable certainty of the British Empire. But his idealism makes him the perfect pawn for the devastatingly charming Count Von Hoffman-a man he considers a friend, but who is in reality a ruthless Tsarist master spy. In one catastrophic act of betrayal, Hoffman leaks the treaty. Citing it as a provocation, a massive Franco-Russian invasion force strikes the south coast of England. With the Royal Navy deliberately lured away on false orders, the nation is defenceless. The unthinkable has happened.Coastal towns are transformed into scenes of unimaginable slaughter at the hands of brutal Cossacks. London, the heart of the Empire, collapses into a nightmare of mob rule, anarchist bombings, and the horror of martial law. As Britain bleeds, the conflict explodes across the globe. The United States, horrified by the atrocities, prepares to dispatch a massive expeditionary force to intervene, while Germany, in a stunning twist, launches its own colossal offensive into France to open a vital second front. Consumed by a devastating guilt for the part he played, Raymond Clinton abandons everything he once believed in. Forsaking his duty as a volunteer soldier, he embarks on a desperate, solitary manhunt through a shattered nation to find Hoffman and exact his revenge. To catch a spy, the quiet clerk must become a new kind of weapon-a ruthless hunter operating in the shadows of a new kind of war. As American and British soldiers wage a bloody battle to reclaim the coastline, the fate of the nation may ultimately rest on one man's quest for redemption. Can a man of paper and ink become sharp enough to cut the puppet master's strings, or will his vengeance cost him the very world he is trying to save.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The war in France is a stalemate. The 'Mill,' a brutal, industrial-scale meat grinder, is chewing up British, American, and German soldiers by the thousands. On the front lines, Sergeant Frank Miller and Corporal Thomas Atkins, veterans of the battle for Britain, fight for every bloody inch of mud, their survival-and the fate of the war-depending on a new, secret front.This is the 'shadow war.' Raymond Clinton, the unassuming clerk who became a national hero after hunting down the spy who orchestrated the invasion of Britain, has been pulled from the light. He is recruited by the mysterious Mr Smith into a new, clandestine intelligence service. His training is brutal, his mission absolute: shed the skin of the man he was and become a 'ghost.'His first assignment: Berlin. He must infiltrate the heart of Britain's key ally, a city strained by a war on two fronts. His mission is to assist a secret cell of German counter-intelligence, led by the aristocratic Elsa von Lützow, in hunting a deadly Russian spy ring. This 'Viper's Nest' is run by Katerina Volkov-a brilliant, ruthless fanatic operating in the shadow of her infamous handler and with a personal vendetta. Her goal: to steal the plans for the Allies' final, war-winning offensive.But when Raymond's initial gambit to feed the Russians poisoned intelligence backfires catastrophically, it results in the annihilation of an entire German Panzer division-a loss felt personally by his new allies. Disavowed by London and now hunted by Katerina's network, Raymond is trapped. He realises the horrifying truth: his mission was betrayed from the start. A high-level traitor, a ghost in the halls of Whitehall, is playing both sides against the middle, feeding secrets to the Russians and ensuring the war bleeds all nations dry.With no support and his cover burned, Raymond must go to ground, adopting a new identity. He must forge a desperate 'Alliance of Ghosts' with his German counterparts, including the formidable Abwehr chief, Oberst von Kleist. Together, they must unmask the true traitor and set one final, complex counter-trap of such audacious deception that it will either dismantle the Russian network and win the war, or get them all killed.A direct sequel to The Unthinkable War, A War of Shadows is a gripping, high-stakes thriller of paranoia and espionage, where the lines between ally and enemy are blurred, and the cost of victory is measured in bodies. …
