Hello, I'm gone, I've been very busy with my blog and I've been sick, but in this little hole I leave you with the latest news we have received: 3
Ben Treves, agent in the service of the U.S. Government covert war operations, was arrested in prison in Manila after a bar fight. There is visited by his former superior, Colonel Scott Horton, who offered him freedom in exchange to discover and find the traitor who stole ninety-two CIA tapes that would show the brutal tortures prisoners, and is now using to blackmail the U.S. government.
To fulfill its mission, Ben no sólo deberá enfrentarse a la CIA, a mercenarios y a buena parte de la Casa Blanca, sino que también competirá con Paula Lanier, una atractiva e inteligente agente del FBI que «colaborará» con él para conseguir las cintas.
Torturas en Guantánamo, presuntos terroristas y secretos de Estado son algunos de los temas de esta novela. Y es que La celda naranja es un trepidante thriller , pero también una de las novelas políticas más astutas de los últimos tiempos. Basada en la declaración realizada por la CIA en el año 2007 on the destruction of two videotapes of interviews with members of Al Qaeda and excellently documented, brings political issues and topical issue.
"Eisler perfectly combines the pleasant coolness of Ian Fleming, the realistic minutiae of Tom Clancy, the restlessness of Graham Greene and the power of the prose of John Le Carré." News-Press
