The Allied stranglehold on Berlin is tightening by the day, as the escape corridor to the Bavarian Alps and the Swiss border is narrowing. In the maze of ruins that Berlin has become, a man of appalling ingenuity, with a ruthless sense of self-preservation, contrives his escape. He is the secret policeman Ernst Scholler. In his shabby, shiny suit with its sagging pockets, he is not immediateiy recognizable as some-one of importance, but as the Reich Special Investigator he has long been checking up on the highest in the land, and there is nothing he doesn't know about. Using his position and knowledge, he begins to bargain for his life with the Allies. The man with whom the bargain must be made is Allen Welsh Dulles, chief of the O.S.S. in Switzerland and President Roosevelt's personal representative. With chilling pragmatism, he sees that the longer the German surrender is delayed the deeper the Communist penetration of Europe will be. To stay that, in particular to stop Tito's seizure of Trieste, he is ready tb talk to the devil himself. Scholier and Dulles, both professionals and practical men, arrive at an arrangement of expediency in Berne. It requires supervision from the inside, and the only person available to act as an agent is a young American code-clerk, Elliott, who has no previous training in the field. Elliott becomes the Special Investigator's henchman and accomplice and enters the underground offices of the secret police. Bound to each other by mutual self-interest, a strange relationship develops between the two; as his sense of horror becomes blunted by what he sees, the young American begins to learn the trade-craft of deception, and rules which govern survival in such a world.

US: Del Rey, 2007. Paperback. Very Good. Bringing fresh wonders and dangers to light in the skies of Pern, Anne McCa ffrey and her son, Todd, who demonstrated his writing talents in the bestse lling novels Dragon's Kin and Dragonsblood, return with their second collab oration: a thrilling adventure of discovery and fate. Pellar is an orphan taken in by Masterharper Zist. Though born mute, Pellar is a gifted tracker, and when Zist sets off to take over as harper for Nat alon's coal-mining camp, Pellar-along with his fire-lizard, Chitter-joins h im on a secret mission of his own: to find out if reported thefts of coal a re the work of the Shunned, criminals condemned to a life of wandering and hardship. Halla is one of the children of the Shunned. Though innocent of their paren ts' crimes, these children have inherited their cruel punishment. Lack of f ood, shelter, and clothes is their lot; hope is unknown to them. And what f uture would they hope for? Without a hold to call their own, there will be no protection for them when the lethal Thread inevitably falls again. Life is even tougher for Halla. Her family gone, she must fend for herself. Yet despite the brutality of her surroundings, Halla is kind and gentle, devote d to those more helpless than she. As depraved as Halla is good, Tenim is in league with Tarik, a crooked mine r from Camp Natalon, who helps him steal coal in exchange for a cut of the profit. But Tenim soon realizes there is a lot more to be made from firesto ne, the volatile mineral that enables the dragons of Pern to burn Thread ou t of the sky. Tenim doesn't care what he has to do, or whom he has to kill, in order to corner the market. Cristov is Tari., Del Rey, 2007, 3, Atlantic Monthly Press. Used - Good.
