No one wants to be a spy. Circumstances create spies. For a young innocent boy, there was no choice. He was born to be a spy. This is the story of Teremum who begins life in Cairo and becomes my friend Louis in a small country town in Australia sixty years later. It is a story I have been wanting to tell for more than forty years. A story of a man who lived, and then disappeared from all memory. I felt this was unworthy of a man who had sacrificed his life for what he believed to be right. Not that he always was, but in his heart he lived a life true to his morals and an understanding of a side of life we will never know. Two world wars shaped his life as they did for many others. However Louis moved through them, between them and after them as a chameleon. Ever changing and ever re-inventing himself. He was a man of secrets. Both in his work and in his life. He was a man who had few friends, but a plethora of faceless enemies. Above all he was a human who lived an extraordinary life. A life that should not be forgotten. [mehr]

‘When the lamb opened the first seal, I heard the first living creature say, “Come and see!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse. Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest...’ In April of 1961, a pair of covert CIA operatives interrupt a dead drop in Tehran, and make away with information intended for the Soviet Union’s international network of spies. The contents of the intercepted package are strange. Four envelopes with elaborate wax seals, enclosing four cryptic passages from the Bible’s book of Revelation. The members of a U.S. Army Intelligence team in Munich are convinced that the biblical references are the signal for a major Soviet offensive against the United States. As President John F. Kennedy trades threats and political jabs with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, U.S. intelligence agents play a lethal game of cat and mouse with the KGB. At stake are the future of West Berlin, and—quite possibly—the continued existence of the human race. The world’s nuclear superpowers are rushing toward what may be their final confrontation. The countdown to Armageddon is on… [mehr]
