Magical Disinformation - E-book - ePub

In the era of 'fake news', in the land of magical realism, fiction can be just as dangerous as the truth... Welcome to the thrilling world of 'Magical Disinformation', a spy novel with a satirical edge which will take you on a heart-pumping journey through the streets, mountains, jungles, and beaches of Colombia. Described by one reviewer as "Our Man in Havana meets A Clear and Present Danger." Oliver Jardine is a spy in Colombia, enamoured with local woman Veronica Velasco.
But as the Colombian government signs a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas, Her Majesty's Government decides a transfer is in order to focus on more pertinent theatres of operation. In a desperate attempt to remain in Colombia, Jardine begins to 'spice up' his intelligence reports, trickling in fictitious sources and events. At first it seems to do the trick, but the consequences soon take on a life of their own. Filled with action, intrigue, and a touch of the fantastical, 'Magical Disinformation' is a must-read for fans of the spy genre.
Don't miss out on this pulse-pounding tale of deception and survival. A spy caper for the 21st Century - for fans of Graham Greene, Mick Herron, and Ross Thomas. Praise for MAGICAL DISINFORMATION "Our Man in Havana meets A Clear and Present Danger" -ARC Book Reviewer "Essence of Carl Hiassen mixed with a pinch of Le Carré"-ARC Book Reviewer "Imagine a work of fiction set in Colombia where the line between real and unreal, fact and fiction no longer exists...
Think Waugh, think Greene and then a smattering of de Bernieres and you know what you're in for, a romp of a read which brings a smile to your lips as you enjoy this fast moving tragicomedy." -Richard McColl, Colombia Calling Podcast "Forced to choose between a career transfer and love, a spy attempts both by adding imagination to his intelligence reports. With satire and Marquez-esque imagery, Page evokes the colourful experiences of expats in Colombia, bureaucratic hypocrisy and the ease of deception in the age of fake news." -Lance Karlson, Author of THE NORIEGA TAPES "As someone with an interest in Colombia and Graham Greene, this was a very satisfying read.
And although the title references Garcia Márquez's magical realism style, I'm glad the writing was more Greene than Márquez." -F. E. Beyer, Author of BUENOS AIRES TRIAD "A slyly comedic thriller with a good amount of action, suspense and fantastical story on events in Colombia." -ARC Book Reviewer
