#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva’s celebrated debut novel, The Unlikely Spy, is “A ROLLER-COASTER WORLD WAR II ADVENTURE that conjures up memories of the best of Ken Follett and Frederick Forsyth” (The Orlando Sentinel). “In wartime,” Winston Churchill wrote, “truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” For Britain’s counterintelligence operations, this meant finding the unlikeliest agent imaginable—a history professor named Alfred Vicary, handpicked by Churchill himself to expose a highly dangerous, but unknown, traitor. The Nazis, however, have also chosen an unlikely agent. Catherine Blake is the beautiful widow of a war hero, a hospital volunteer—and a Nazi spy under direct orders from Hitler: uncover the Allied plans for D-Day...

BEGIN A WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE! It’s the year 2365; and religion has been outlawed across the world. The very existence of God was disproven as a result of the Great Revelation which took place in 2066 which then led to the catastrophic Great End in 2075, making everything once commonly known to be true about religion now long forgotten. Sarutobi Mensah, arrives in the town of Taavah. His entire identity is unknown and it is unclear what his true intentions are, but his search for a particular man is pivotal to his mission despite the laws he must break to be within any chance of success. His mysterious arrival in town is unwelcomed after being accused of impersonating Truth-Seekers – agents of an elite law enforcement bureau who tend to operate outside of the law without consequence. This attracts some unwarranted attention and Sarutobi finds himself in situations that threatens his safety as authority officers act on an official mandate for his arrest. Nevertheless, Sarutobi does not let this deter him from his mission. Berahino Badu, a young famous magician, known throughout the country by the name Clark Bathwater, and locally as the town’s ‘bad boy’; lives a luxurious bachelor lifestyle. Berahino relishes more money than he can count, more women than he can remember, and loves a good drink – or three – but often wonders if there is more to life, and occasionally questions whether there is such a thing as purpose. But a fateful altercation becomes the inception to a string of events that hurtles Berahino’s lifestyle into turmoil, as he is exposed to the truth that his ability is a God given gift and not the adept magical powers he was led to believe from his mentor who helped hone his skills to make him the man he was. Conflicted in so many ways, Berahino joins Sarutobi on an unbelievable mission, where the beginnings of a nation-wide manhunt for them takes them across both the physical and spirit realms, as they bring the fight against the forces of darkness hidden behind the systems of their world.

From antiquity until now, most writers who have chronicled the events following the death of Alexander the Great have viewed this history through the careers, ambitions, and perspectives of Alexander’s elite successors. Few historians have probed the experiences and attitudes of the ordinary soldiers who followed Alexander on his campaigns and who were divided among his successors as they fought for control of his empire after his death. Yet the veterans played an important role in helping to shape the character and contours of the Hellenistic world. This pathfinding book offers the first in-depth investigation of the Macedonian veterans’ experience during a crucial turning point in Greek history (323–316 BCE). Joseph Roisman discusses the military, social, and political circumstances that shaped the history of Alexander’s veterans, giving special attention to issues such as the soldiers’ conduct on and off the battlefield, the army assemblies, the volatile relationship between the troops and their generals, and other related themes, all from the perspective of the rank-and-file. Roisman also reexamines the biases of the ancient sources and how they affected ancient and modern depictions of Alexander’s veterans, as well as Alexander’s conflicts with his army, the veterans’ motives and goals, and their political contributions to Hellenistic history. He pays special attention to the Silver Shields, a group of Macedonian veterans famous for their invincibility and martial prowess, and assesses whether or not they deserved their formidable reputation.
