„Teda, pochybuju, že kdy uvidíme většího brouka.“ Gabby Nicholsová právě ukládá svého syna do postele, když vtom zaslechne volání dcery. „Maminko, mám v pokoji tatíka dlouhonožku!“ A pak začnou výkřiky... Alan Travers míří domů z hospody a něco mu hrábne do obličeje – pavučina. Ze stínů se vyvalí cosi obrovského a smrtícího... Kevin Alperton je na cestě do školy, když vtom ho napadne komár. Veliký komár. Věci naberou rychlého spádu. Doktora ale nezaujal ani mrtvý muž zamotaný v obří pavučině, ani zkomolené vzpomínky starého muže. Starosti mu dělají spíš roje zmutovaného hmyzu. Když je vesnice odříznuta od vnějšího světa a s hemžícím se hmyzem začíná jít vážně o krk, je Doktorovi jasné, že tu není v bezpečí nikdo. Ledaže by se mu podařilo rozluštit podivné znaky vyryté v prastarém kamenném kruhu a objasnit záhadu sahající až do druhé světové války.

CLANDESTINE "Moses is in Egypt. And he''s your Moses, mate. Your wife is a little worried? Tell her there''s a reason James Bond works for us." "The threat is real.

Praise for Mike Tucker "NORTH CHINA BLUES is a classic journey story and a raw, vivid espionage and war novel with a powerful affirmation of justice and love -point-blank, gripping and poignant, a story that we would not know except for Mike Tucker''s journey among the farmers and fishermen in North China. The Chinese guerrilla fighters, revolutionaries and spies have their say and could not be more real, convincing and authentic. Lyrical and compelling, reminiscent of THE ODYSSEY, I could not put it down. Bravo, Mike Tucker." Mark Chambers, hunting guide, Northern New Mexico "SPARTACUS DID THE RIGHT THING is one of the novels that has won Mike Tucker''s prose just comparison to Ernest Hemingway. Tucker''s short, energetic sentences are stripped down and laconic, lending a rhythm and directness to the narrative that immediately recalls Hemingway." Miles Amoore, the African Correspondent THE SUNDAY TIMES www.amazon.co.uk "If Hemingway were alive, he would be buying drinks for Mike Tucker all night long, for Tucker''s vivid, moving first-hand account of a 250 kilometer deep reconnaissance behind Burmese Army lines, THE LONG PATROL, pivots on those quintessentially Hemingwayesque themes of armed men fighting to survive against overwhelming odds, and simply battling against the elements. Outstanding." Jim Algie, Editor, author and journalist. Untamed Travel. "CHINATOWN is a quick read, a wild tirade, and a historical investigation all at once. In that it ties Trump to some of our worst international impulses over 100 years of history is an achievement. And it does so with fire." Will Layman, jazz musician, critic and educator. Washington, D.C.
