If Jackson Lamb had won it he'd have had a huge hangover this morning but let's not dwell on what that might have sounded or smelt like. <br /><br />Both Mick Herron's Slough House series and Bill Fairclough's Burlington Files series of espionage thrillers about Pemberton’s People in MI6 were initially rejected by risk averse publishers who probably didn't think espionage existed unless it was fictional and created by Ian Fleming or David Cornwell. It is therefore a genuine pleasure to see an anti-Bond anti-establishment novelist achieving immortality in Masham. Let’s hope Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone fact based spy thriller in The Burlington Files series, follow in the Slow Horses’ hoof prints!<br /><br />To find out more about Bill Fairclough and how Pemberton’s People influenced John le Carré and Kim Philby do look up a news article dated 31 October 2022 in TheBurlingtonFiles website and read Beyond Enkription.<br />MI6https://www.blogger.com/profile/08416815195914841290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-39264826612037250772023-07-08T15:48:19.626+01:002023-07-08T15:48:19.626+01:00Wishing Ava good luck ... Don’t miss The Chase, Av...Wishing Ava good luck ... Don’t miss The Chase, Ava Glass’s fast and furious fictional spy novel which you will never put down if you liked Bill Fairclough's fact based spy thriller Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series. Both thrillers have a lot of similarities save that Beyond Enkription is a raw noir fact based novel. Ava Glass is a tad more John le Carré. <br /><br />Nevertheless, both are so real you may have nightmares anguishing over being a spy on the run. The trouble is, as in Beyond Enkription, if you were a spook being chased by the TonTon Macoute in the seventies you were usually cornered and ... well best leave it to your imagination or simply read Beyond Enkription. We consider both books compulsory reading for espionage aficionados. <br /><br />Interestingly Fairclough was one of Pemberton’s People in MI6 (see a brief intriguing News Article dated 31 October 2022 in TheBurlingtonFiles website). Meanwhile do read Ava Glass’s The Chase - you won’t be disappointed and unlike Fairclough’s sort of biographical work, if you like John le Carré’s delicate diction and sophisticated syntax, you may be rewarded.<br />MI6https://www.blogger.com/profile/08416815195914841290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-49785715460377418662023-06-26T09:45:23.727+01:002023-06-26T09:45:23.727+01:00I've read that one too.
