The SPY

FineB

M15 agent,

A life based on secrecy,

Acting in the nation's best interests,

Upholding all national decency.

A life ridden with secrets,

Caught up in a web of intrigue and lies,

Cold and distant at times,

No fixed abode or emotional ties

        Intriguing subject, well phrased. If only their life was as intriguing as silver screened as James Bond

          Hi Suresh,

          Thanks for reading.

          Tis not an easy or glamorous life being a spy..

          Love love love the Smiley books..... have you read the Quiller series by Adam Hall (aka Elleston Trevor) - they take your breath away for thrilling..........

          • FineB

            Hello Lorna,

            I have not read the Quiller series. Thank you for your recommendation.

            I am reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy at the moment. A brilliant book.

            welcome to my world... sounds right up my street.... damn good book that...
            in reality, there is nothing romantic about being a spy.. I always think of Callan & Edward Woodward.... cheers, Neville

            • FineB

              Hello Neville.

              Thanks for reading.

              Keep writing FineB
