 It's a feverish city. And the spooks are hard at work, jostling for position and influence. So when an elderly man emerges from the sea, claiming to know secrets he will share only with the British Governor, a young MI6 officer, Joe Lennox, sees the chance to make his reputation.

 But when the old man, a high-profile Chinese professor, is spirited away in the middle of the night by the CIA, it's clear that there's a great deal more at stake here than a young spy's career.

 The professor holds the key to a sinister and ambitious plan that could have catastrophic repercussions for the world in the twenty-first century.

 A SPY BY NATURE

 Alec Milius is young, smart, ambitious and comfortable with deceit. So when a chance encounter leads him to MI6, Alec thinks he's landed the perfect job for his talents. But working alone, relying on instinct, he's soon spinning a web of deception that has him caught between his new masters and powerful opponents. For in his new line of work the difference between the truth and a lie can be the difference between life and death. And Alec is having trouble telling them apart .

 THE SPANISH GAME

 Alec Milius quit the spying game six years ago - or so he thought.

 Living in exile in Madrid, he is lured back into a brutal world of lies and deception by the mysterious disappearance of a prominent politician. Forced to work alone, without the support of his former masters in London, Alec comes face to face with the nightmare of modern terror. And this time there's no-one to call for help.

A spy by nature

Je ne suis pas bon avec les intimidateurs et les fanatiques.

En vieillissant, la vie devient très compliquée en termes de concessions que nous devons faire.

Je suis fasciné par le voyage qu'une femme intelligente et ambitieuse fait dans le monde professionnel contrairement au voyage qu'un homme d'ambition similaire, d'intelligence similaire fait. Quelle sorte de concessions une femme doit-elle faire? Doit-elle travailler 20% plus difficile qu'un homme?

S'inquiéter de la façon dont vous vous souviendrez est inutile. Mieux vaut essayer de vivre votre vie de telle manière que les gens vous respecteront pendant que vous êtes toujours en vie.

St. John of the Cross souligne que la musique divine peut être mieux entendue dans la solitude et le silence. La musique sonore n'est pas un son physique qui vibre le tympan, mais quelque chose transcende les sens. La solitude physique et le silence éliminent les bruits distrayants qui nous empêchent d'entendre à des niveaux plus profonds.

Je trouve une différence dans la fiction d'espionnage britannique et la fiction d'espionnage américaine. Dans la version américaine, c'est plus militariste, en partie parce que la CIA a plus de maquillage militaire. Alors que le MI6 est plus un service cérébral, basé sur l'intelligence, basé sur les relations, c'est-à-dire tout ce qu'ils font est de recruter des gens pour en tirer des informations.
