Singularity

“You can never quit, Alex, didn’t you believe me?” With those words from a former colleague Alex Denver is drawn back into The Service, a super-secret agency very few people know exists. He is coerced back to a world of spies and deceit, a world he thought he had escaped forever. A world where up is down, left is right, no one knows anyone else’s real name, and the truth rests precariously on a slippery slope. A little blackmail, a few lies, a pretty face and before long Alex finds himself in his old stomping grounds of London, chasing a memory. His purported assignment is to recover valuable data developed by Prof. Stanislaus Wyvodyla, a brilliant scientist long thought dead. The professor has knowledge that could give mankind virtual immortality, or could cause worldwide chaos and death. People Alex thought were forever out of his life want his help, but are reluctant to tell him the truth. A mysterious British tycoon, who may be a traitor or the master spy of them all, a NATO officer whose life Alex once saved, a former colleague who botched an operation in Tallinn, Estonia, that resulted in the death of a fellow agent and convinced Alex this wasn’t the life for him, and a woman who had deserted him over six years ago, are only some of the people who thrust their way into Alex’s once-quiet life. Alex must draw on the wits he developed in his previous role as a secret agent as he is manipulated, lied to, shot at, kidnapped, and kissed.
