Description
Daring tales of kidnap and rescue, assassination and revenge, the politics of death and espionage, these are the themes of this latest volatile concoction of classic and new writing. The days of empire and traditional war have been replaced by cyber warfare but the subtle, lethal methods of agents and spies remain the same, and so has the power of great writing, with stories here to chill and intrigue every reader. New, contemporary and notable writers featured are: Sara Dobie Bauer, Joseph Cusumano, David R. Downing, Shane Halbach, Stephen Kotowych, Colt Leasure, Jonathan MacGregor, Jo Miles, Josh Pachter, Tony Pi, S.L. Scott, Dan Stout, and Lauren C. Teffeau. These appear alongside classic stories by John Buchan, G.K. Chesterton, Joseph Conrad, Arthur Conan Doyle, Maurice Leblanc and more.
