Following Last of the Cold War Warriors and Last of the Cold War Warriors II, the author tracks the career of anti-hero Adam Collins of the Secret Intelligence Service aka MI6. On a high-risk operation ranging across Europe, their brief is to recover or render inoperable the US National Security Agency’s new – and missing – cyber warfare programme, codenamed TERRAMAX. The body bag count inexorably rises, complicated by the involvement of other ‘hostile’ intelligence teams, also intent on gaining possession of the new cyber warfare system at any cost. Adam’s joint operation team, comprising the SIS, NSA and NCS, find themselves playing a cat-and-mouse game with the anonymous ‘Auctioneer’, leading to a personal tragedy for Adam. After Adam’s resignation from ‘the Office’, the story continues four years later – two of them having seen Adam in prison – as the SIS reappears in his life, making him an offer he knows he can’t refuse. With a new partner, once again Adam finds himself crossing international time zones in a race against time to find the SIS ‘mole’ responsible for the elimination of several service officers and assets worldwide – with more to follow. With a brief to locate and extract or eliminate the ‘mole’, the operation will culminate in a virtual suicide mission in the People’s Republic of China. .

An author immerses herself in the frenzied fandom of Twilight, the young-adult vampire romance series that has captivated women of all ages Twilight, Stephenie Meyer’s young-adult vampire romance series, has captivated women of all ages, from teenagers who swoon over the film adaptations to college-educated women who devour the novels as a guilty pleasure. All told, over 110 million copies of the books have been sold worldwide, with translations into 37 languages, and the movies are some of the highest-grossing of all time. Twilight is a bona fide cultural phenomenon that has inspired a vast and unimaginably fertile fan subculture—the “fanpire,” as the members describe it. Just what is it about Twilight that has enchanted so many women? Tanya Erzen—herself no stranger to the allure of the series—sets out to explore the irresistible pull of Twilight by immersing herself in the vibrant and diverse world of “Twi-hards,” from Edward-addition groups and “Twi-rock” music to Cullenism, a religion based on the values of Edward’s family of vegetarian vampires. Erzen interviews hundreds of fans online and in person, attends thousand-strong conventions, and watches the film premiere of New Moon with Twilight moms in Utah. Along the way, she joins a tour bus on a pilgrimage to Twilight-inspired sites, struggles through a Bella self-defense class, and surveys the sub-universe of Twilight fan-fiction (including E. L. James’s enormously popular “Master of the Universe” story, the basis for her erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey). Erzen also takes a deeper look at the appeal of traditional gender roles in a postfeminist era saturated with narratives of girl power. If Twilight’s fantasies of romance and power reflect the fears, insecurities, and longings of the women who love it, the fanpire itself, Erzen shows, offers a space for meaningful bonding, mutual understanding, and friendship. Part journalistic investigation and part cultural analysis, Fanpire will appeal to obsessed fans, Twilight haters, and bemused onlookers alike.
