In the tradition of old-school espionage fiction, Cumming lets character rather than plot carry this compelling thriller. William Lasker, a second-string agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service, takes on the job of writing a book about a rogue CIA plot against the People's Republic of China. The action, which takes place mainly in Hong Kong and Shanghai, focuses on Joe Lennox, an SIS undercover agent in China, and an older CIA veteran, Miles Coolidge. Several months before the turnover of Hong Kong to Chinese rule in 1997, a defector, Professor Wang Kaixuan, climbs out of the South China Sea and announces he has important secret information. After the professor disappears, Joe slowly learns the defector has become part of Typhoon, a secret CIA plan being run by Miles whose aim is to destabilize China. The conflict between Joe and Miles, both personal and professional, fuels this complex and satisfying novel., Typhoon is easy to like. The plot is tight and complex, and the local details are accurate about the three main cities where it is set: Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing., " Typhoon is easy to like.

- h***a (1153)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaHIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SELLER. I purchased a new, sealed CD at a reasonable price, and was sent a new plastic case along with my CD because there was a crack in it's case even though it was still in the original sealed plastic. Wow - and the two units were separately wrapped with bubble paper to assure no new cracks would be produced during shipping. This is a go-beyond-expectations seller! I will be starting my CD shopping here before considering the products of other sellers.Gaither Gospel Series "Down by the Tabernacle" (DVD) (#267118292465)

They gave me the option to accept the order or reject it and get a full refund. I opted for the full refund, which was processed immediately. While there was a problem, the seller was very responsible in how it was handled, which I greatly appreciated.
