Aggie & Agent X

by Gary Alan Ruse

Rookie CIA officer Agnes Westfeld is excited when she gets her first real assignment after only three months at the agency, even though she’s told it will be basically just a “baby-sitting” job. But when her new HQ turns out to be a legendary top secret base in the Nevada desert and her new partner is “out of this world,” pitted against an evil mastermind who will stop at nothing, Aggie goes on a wild and wacky spy mission that is the adventure of a lifetime! This quirky and often funny blend of sci-fi, espionage, mystery and old movie atmosphere should appeal to fans of all of those genres and more. From the author of Houndtooth, A Game of Titans, The Gods of Cerus Major, The Quest of the Green Magician, Death Hunt on a Dying planet, The Cross of St. Anne, Murder in Deer Park and numerous stories in magazines and anthologies.

About the author

I love reading and writing! Have been a professional writer of science fiction, mysteries and "techno-thrillers" since the 70's, and served as an Army reporter in Vietnam. I have five previous novels published, "Houndstooth" and "A Game of Titans" in hardcovers by Prentice-Hall with foreign editions in Great Britain and Japan, and "The Gods of Cerus Major" in hardcover by Doubleday, and original paperbacks "Morlac: The Quest of the Green Magician" and "Death Hunt on a Dying Planet" by Signet/New American Library. Also a number of stories published in magazines and anthologies, and more than 900 newspaper articles in Community Newspapers. Now have a number of eBook editions out on Amazon and other eBook sites, and a number of film projects being shown to producers by my Hollywood agent.

[Graham Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ending felt rushed and why even bother saying she had to go for a debriefing if your going to gloss over it! Up until the 19th chapter the book was a decent mix of mystery and science fiction.
