Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Autoren- / zusammenhängende Unterschrift; Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. This story of discovery, romance, and intrigue is set in Berlin shortly after the fall of the Wall. Anthony Hanbury, a Canadian diplomat pursuing a desultory career, is assigned as consul to Berlin. Having lived in Berlin as a student during the sixties, he asks for this assignment twenty-five years later to renew contact both with the city ­ gripped by the tumultuous changes of German reunification ­ and with people he once knew. On the surface Hanbury's assignment unfolds routinely. Behind the scenes, however, his activities generate forces of suspicion. Only in the new Berlin ­ where the Wall is gone but East-West divisions continue, where the Cold War's remnants linger and a totalitarian regime's entrails are available for scavenging ­ could Hanbury's fate take the calamitous tu it does. Bracketing the story is Hanbury's previous boss, Irving Heywood, a man with a zest for Service gossip. In a position of influence at headquarters in Ottawa and piqued by the Berlin events, he unwillingly becomes an agent in the consul's mysterious downfall. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Location: The Hague, home of the International Criminal Court. Just north of the city a private plane crashes in a dense North Sea fog. The sole passenger, though badly injured, survives. His calling card identifies him, but it shows only his name and an acronym: P.E.A.C.E. That same week a secret diplomatic initiative is launched in The Hague. Its objective is to identify far-reaching, new international initiatives to advance global peace. In Adrian de Hoog's new thriller, forces pushing for a more enlightened world order are pitted against ones that profit from armed conflict. Natalia's Peace is a fast-paced novel that also deftly examines the role of culture, beliefs and collective memories in today's wars, and what the international community could do to end the senseless killing. With rich characterizations and a fine sense of irony, de Hoog has created another satisfying and thought-provoking read. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Who is Saul Burg How does a fierce man with a shrouded past become Special High Representative to the UN Secretary-General, responsible for coordinating humanitarian work in failed states In 1954, deep in Israel's Negev Desert, Palestinian fedayeen massacred the occupants of a bus trundling through the hills between Eilat and Beersheba. The sole survivor, eight-year-old Saul, suddenly orphaned, was placed with a German kibbutz in Galilee, growing up in a rich cultural envelope. As he matured and rationalised the moment his parents were killed, a contempt for terrorists accompanied him into adulthood.The military call up pivoted him from farming to fighting and a lifelong confrontation with terrorism began.As an Israeli special forces soldier, he killed terrorists covertly; as an operative with Mossad, he eliminated still more.Saul transitioned from Mossad hitman to spy master.

A decade later, 9/11 brought Saul Burg a further assignment-a post in Berlin to advance Germany's contribution to the global war on terror.Sixty years after the bus massacre, hardened by a lifetime spent battling terrorism's darkness, yet pursuing enlightened thinking, and sometimes falling under the influence of strong women, Saul relocates from Berlin to Geneva to oversee UN humanitarian work.Working with him in Geneva is Blake Caldwell, a tech-savvy young assistant. Blake builds databases to track the global humanitarian effort; his search tools uncover names .This gripping novel with two interwoven timelines explores Saul's enduring fight against terrorism and Blake's quest to unravel his identity.…
