Agent Books

This is a different plot, but a pleasing one. Unlike most of the Regency novels, this litterally moves around, from England to Portugal. I like how the lady dresses up as a guy and fools everyone.

Spy Bate: Memoirs Of A Cover Agent is the autobiographical story of Ron Jones, a man who barely escaped execution and spent ten years in a Cuban prison as a covert operative for the American CIA, before he was finally released in 1973. Written in Jones' own words, without the use of a co-author, Spy Bate questions why the goals he sacrificed years of his freedom for became so callously tossed aside, even as he was ignored and left to rot in a terrible jail cell. His memoir tells not only of the crushing hardships he endured, but the extreme difficulty of re-adjusting to daily life, especially in the wake of chemical and sexual revolutions in American culture.

This book tackles the subject of running a home staging business from the unique perspective of targeting owners of luxury homes and the real estate agents who represent wealthy clients, and it does a great job of breaking it all down for the reader in easy to understand terms. It is explained that wealthier clients have a mindset that is completely different from regular consumers and that they have to be approached in the right manner and at the right time. I was surprised to discover that my view of what defines a wealthy client was typical but not necessarily the right view. I highly prize the list of national organizations where the upper echelon of society hang out, and the instructions on how to tap into the market in easy, comfortable ways. The author's suggestions made a lot of sense to me and have given me a whole new mindset of how I can increase my clientele in the future to take better advantage of the buying power of the wealthy. I will refer to this book often as there is so much packed into it I'm sure I won't remember it all. I do recommend it to anyone wanting to break into the affluent market.

All true. Sad, funny, and revealing. A side of life not many will comprehend.

It is a great book. It's capital merit is the unpretentious carity and simplicity that renders a host of long standing problems of mind and action accessible to anybody who is keen on reflection. I is highly recommendable to the entire span of scholar with an interest in the the peculiarities of the mind.

TOWER Comics is all but forgotten but for one brief shining moment they produced some great stories

THUNDER Agents were part of the spy craze of the 1960's with a super heroe twist.

Tired of the main stream and not quite into the underground Wally Wood with several of the biggest names in comics (Steve Ditko,Dan Adkins, Reed Crandall, Gil Kane and Mike Sekowsky) wrote and drew these stories. The Marvel Influence could be felt in these stories in the sense that the characters had their ups and downs, such as THUNDER Agent Lightning dying a bit every time he put on the suit that gave him super speed.

Yet there was time for fun, DC, style stories like the last one in the volume where THUNDER Agent Weed is helped by Dynamo ala Superman into believing he has super powers.

Another great story is "To Be Or Not To Be" where the android NOMAN struggles with his lack of humanity. He is a human itellegence trapped in an artificial body that can never feel love the way a human can.

Well worth it for reading some silver age stories that are less well known (but equal in quality) as compared with the Marvel line of comics of that era.
