In London, KGB agent Petrunin will track down and capture the Sea Leopard’s inventor, Quin.

All Stings Considered

Humanity is failing at solving complex socio-ecological problems like global climate change, biodiversity loss and population growth. The existing 'sustainable development' paradigm and its reliance on trade-offs between the three pillars of environment, economics, and equity is not robust enough to maintain global carrying capacity. In this timely intervention, Thomas argues that the holistic and transdisciplinary thinking of four iconic American naturalists - Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and Edward O. Wilson - can instead help to solve our biggest twenty-first century challenges by synthesizing values from four eras of cultural and environmental history.

THE DRAGON, THE BEAR AND THE TIGER For espionage veteran Kenneth Aubrey the world is suddenly full of clues that don't match up. A Chinese defector hauled from Hong Kong harbour trading asylum for the communist mandarins' betrayal. The nerve-cracking interrogation, smoking out the truth from a network of disinformation. Aubrey is in a hall of mirrors with doors leading back 40 years to the time when Aubrey was the prisoner of the traitor he is hunting to his lair. In six months Aubrey could crack the defector. But he doesn't have months, he has weeks. Two weeks before the Berlin Wall is bulldozed into history. Two weeks to break the three-cornered death game between China, Russia and the West. Two weeks to fight the dragon and the bear with the West's most crucial mission, Jade Tiger.
