Roger Ferris is one of the CIA's soldiers in the war on terrorism. He has come out of Iraq with a shattered leg and an intense mission - to penetrate the network of a master terrorist known only as 'Suleiman'. Ferris's plan for getting inside Suleiman's tent is inspired by a masterpiece of British intelligence during World War II: he prepares a body of lies, literally the corpse of an imaginary CIA officer who appears to have accomplished the impossible by recruiting an agent within the enemy's ranks.\nThis scheme binds friend and foe in a web of extraordinary subtlety and complexity, and when it begins to unravel, Ferris finds himself flying blind into a hurricane. His only hope is the urbane head of Jordan's intelligence service - a man who just might be an Arab version of John le Carré's celebrated spy, George Smiley. But can Ferris trust him? And can he trust the CIA?

In this latest novel from the “dean of international intrigue” (Brad Thor) and New York Times best-selling author David Ignatius, CIA operations officer Michael Dunne is tasked with infiltrating an Italian news organization that smells like a front for an enemy intelligence service. Headed by an American journalist, the self-styled bandits run a cyber operation unlike anything the CIA has seen before. Fast, slick, and indiscriminate, the group steals secrets from everywhere and anyone, and exploits them in ways the CIA can neither understand nor stop.\n\n Dunne knows it’s illegal to run a covert op on an American citizen or journalist, but he has never refused an assignment and his boss has assured his protection. Soon after Dunne infiltrates the organization, however, his cover disintegrates. When news of the operation breaks and someone leaks that Dunne had an extramarital affair while on the job, the CIA leaves him to take the fall. Now a year later, fresh out of jail, Dunne sets out to hunt down and take vengeance on the people who destroyed his life.

Popular Patristics Series Volume 49\n\nAn otherwise unknown second-century Christian, Ignatius was taken from Antioch to Rome in an imperial triumph, to be executed in the arena.

The most recent research on Ignatius is accessibly presented, and the first English version of the imitation Ignatius is here made available to students, to clergy, and to the people of God.

Roger Ferris è un agente della CIA impegnato nella lotta al terrorismo. Reduce da una missione in Iraq che gli ha procurato una grave ferita alla gamba, viene incaricato di infiltrarsi nella rete di Suleiman, un pericoloso terrorista attivo in Medio Oriente e pronto a colpire obiettivi americani. Il piano di Ferris per stanare Suleiman si ispira a un capolavoro di intelligence messo in atto dagli inglesi durante la seconda guerra mondiale: Ferris utilizza come esca un cadavere, attribuendogli l'identità di un agente della CIA, con un falso nome e un falso passato. I terroristi troveranno il corpo, e la documentazione che questi ha con sé farà apparire Suleiman un collaboratore dei servizi segreti americani. A quel punto a Ferris non resterà che tendere l'orecchio per cogliere le voci di tradimento all'interno della cellula. Sembrerebbe tutto facile, se non fosse che Hani Salaam, il capo dell'intelligence giordana, ha dei piani segreti per catturare il terrorista e la sua collaborazione diventa di ora in ora più spinosa. Nel frattempo, Ferris intreccia una relazione con Alice Melville, un'americana che lavora per una ONG palestinese. Alla resa dei conti, Alice si rivelerà il più grande ostacolo per il compimento del piano di Ferris e il maggiore pericolo per la sua vita.

Graham Weber has been the director of the CIA for less than a week when a Swiss kid in a dirty T-shirt walks into the American consulate in Hamburg and says the agency has been hacked, and he has a list of agents' names to prove it. This is the moment a CIA director most dreads. Weber turns to a charismatic (and unstable) young man named James Morris who runs the Internet Operations Center. He's the CIA's in-house geek. Weber launches Morris on a mole hunt unlike anything in spy fiction—one that takes the reader into the hacker underground of Europe and America and ends up in a landscape of paranoia and betrayal. Like the new world of cyber-espionage from which it's drawn, The Director is a maze of deception and double dealing, about a world where everything is written in zeroes and ones and nothing can be trusted. The CIA has belatedly discovered that this is not your father’s Cold War, and Weber must play catch-up, against the clock and an unknown enemy, in a game he does not yet understand.
