Intercept
by Patrick RobinsonA left-leaning appeal court judge liberates four of the most dangerous al-Qaeda terrorists from Guantanamo Bay and the CIA field officers track them back to Pakistan’s northwest frontier mountain range. But disaster overtakes them and the four men vanish, to rejoin the dark and mysterious forces trained by Osama bin Laden high in the Hindu Kush. These are men with hatred in their hearts, with hatred for the United States and Great Britain, and they are sworn to hit back at the USA, which imprisoned so many of their high command. A fateful communication from the mountains of the Afghan side of the border is intercepted by Britain’s secret surveillance station on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Al-Qaeda is almost certainly planning a new hit on the US mainland. The CIA is at its wits end, all their fears coming home to roost. They know there is only one man who can stop them-retired Navy SEAL Lt. Commander Mack Bedford-and he is called in to assist on one of the most highly classified missions ever launched from CIA headquarters. Bedford names his price, and once more, the nobility of the man is spun into a breathtakingly fast action novel.

The Intercom Conspiracy
by Eric AmblerThirty years after Eric Ambler introduced the world to his unlikely hero, the academic and novelist Charles Latimer, in A Coffin for Dimitrios, Latimer returns in The Intercom Conspiracy.

It was recently purchased by two magnates who are, unbeknownst to the frazzled Carter, chief intelligence officers in two minor NATO countries. Not all of Intercom's readers are happy with some recent stories, which are surprisingly more truthful and a lot more dangerous than the rumors and fictions that used to fill its pages--and some of those readers will go to any length to keep their secrets safe.

Joel Backman, uno de los abogados más poderosos de Washington, es encarcelado en una prisión federal por haber tenido acceso a información militar clasificada relacionada con unos misteriosos satélites de los que nadie conocía la existencia. Seis años más tarde recibe el indulto del Presidente. Lo que no imagina es que detrás de esta decisión se ocultan intereses de la CIA. Con el pretexto de que la información que posee podría ganarle enemigos, el gobierno pone a su disposición un avión militar que le llevará hasta Bolonia, donde Backman tendrá que empezar a vivir bajo una nueva identidad... Al menos en teoría. En realidad, la CIA tiene intención de informar de su paradero a los servicios de inteligencia de Israel, Rusia, China y Arabia Saudí, entre otros.

La intermitencia
by Andrea CamilleriUn thriller descarnado, de ritmo implacable, en el que sus protagonistas aparecen reducidos a los instintos más básicos que motivan sus actos: el deseo, el odio, la venganza, o sea, en definitiva, la pura y dura erótica del poder. La empresa Manuelli constituye un potente conglomerado que sostiene la economía de Italia y da trabajo a miles de personas. Y su director general, Mauro de Blasi, un ejecutivo que hace gala de toda la firmeza, la elegancia diplomática y la ferocidad que exige el cargo. Sin embargo, Mauro tiene un problema: últimamente padece una especie de «apagones neurológicos» en los que, durante unos segundos, no oye, se le nubla la vista y se queda paralizado, como si no estuviera presente. No obstante, a pesar de estos paréntesis forzosos, Mauro pergeña un plan para absorber Artenia, una compañía mucho más pequeña que está al borde de la quiebra, mediante una operación maquiavélica que debe procurarle una buena tajada. Pero no todo se desarrolla de la forma prevista... Una serie de personajes -desde un subdirector de personal amante de la poesía y una mujer con pocas luces hasta una joven hermosa e inteligente y una secretaria fiel pero demasiado confiada- se erigen en incómodos obstáculos e interfieren en los planes del corrupto Mauro de Blasi. El gran maestro Andrea Camilleri nos adentra en un entorno sacudido por la crisis económica, proclive a excesos e irregularidades de todo tipo so pretexto de que «todo vale» para sobrevivir en circunstancias tan difíciles. Reseña:«Sin caer en las trampas de la retórica ni en las insidias morales, Camilleri aborda en La intermitencia la situación de la Italia actual. Con una prosa reflexiva y milimetrada, y diálogos muy incisivos, esta novela es un alegato contra quienes enarbolan siempre la bandera de los triunfadores.»SoloLibri
