2005., Viking Call No: 327.42 B927h Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Elizabethan England could boast of many things: it was the center of European trade, it produced Shakespeare, and it had begun to cultivate colonies in the New World. But it had little military power and lived under the constant threat of invasion by Spain and France. Unable to match her enemies at sea or on the battlefield, Queen Elizabeth was forced to engage them in a battle of wits. Her secret weapon was Sir Francis Walsingham, who carried the modest title of Principal Secretary but was in fact her spymaster. Walsingham trumped the Catholic nations with a force more formidable than Spain's armada: espionage." "With the narrative of a spy novel, Her Majesty's Spymaster recounts how, in a time of terrific religious and political strife, Walsingham invented the art and science of modern espionage - and set Elizabethan England on the path to empire." "Planting or recruiting agents in every foreign court in Europe as well as deep within the conspiracies of domestic plotters, Walsingham coolly thwarted repeated attempts on English soil. He used the new mathematical science of code breaking to decipher messages intercepted between ambassadors and kings. He spread subtle disinformation campaigns to foil Britain's foes and beguile her allies. And, with a brilliant sleight of hand, he caught Mary Queen of Scots deep in a plot to kill Elizabeth, and sent the Catholic queen to the gallows. Covert operations were Walsingham's genius: the techniques he pioneered remain staples of international espionage today." "Stephen Budiansky brings to life not only the icy, Puritan Walsingham and the flamboyant Queen Elizabeth, but also Walsingham's intricate spy network, the shadow world beneath the tumult of Elizabethan England."--BOOK JACKET.

Ã2014., Adult, Soho Call No: SC Fic Dow Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Jack McColl novel Volume: 1Summary Note: "It is 1913, and those who follow the news closely can see the world is teetering on the brink of war. Jack McColl, a Scottish car salesman with an uncanny ear for languages, has always hoped to make a job for himself as a spy. As his sales calls take him from city to great city--Hong Kong to Shanghai to San Francisco to New York--he moonlights collecting intelligence for His Majesty's Navy, but British espionage is in its infancy and Jack has nothing but a shoestring budget and the very tenuous protection of a boss in far-away London. He knows, though, that a geopolitical catastrophe is brewing, and now is both the moment to prove himself and the moment his country needs him most. Unfortunately, this is also the moment he begins to realize what his aspiration might cost him. He understands his life is at stake when activities in China suddenly escalate from innocent data-gathering and casual strolls along German military concessions to arrest warrants and knife attacks. Meanwhile, a sharp, vivacious American suffragette journalist has wiled her way deep into his affections, and it is not long before he realizes that her Irish-American family might be embroiled in the Irish Republican movement Jack's bosses are fighting against. How can he choose between his country and the woman he loves? And would he even be able to make such a choice without losing both?"--Publisher.
