Spy Novels

[close] Goodreads group for members of the Literary Dragons Book Club. Stay tuned for more information regarding the club, including how to join!

[close] This group is dedicated to the literature of the Cold War and the world of intelligence. We discuss espionage fiction and non-fiction, classic and contemporary, including John le Carré, Len Deighton, Helen MacInnes, Paul Vidich, Alan Furst and modern Cold War revival writers. The group is hosted by David Bickford, former senior intelligence official and author of Cold Protocol and the Katya series. Expect thoughtful discussion, reading recommendations, occasional insider context, and respectful debate. This is not a spoiler-free zone, but major plot points will be flagged. Cold War veterans, historians, writers and serious readers are especially welcome.

[close] If you enjoy reading pulse-pounding, high octane action and adventure novels, this is the group for you. We discuss books from authors such as Lee Child, James Rollins, Clive Cussler, Matt Reilly, Robert Crais, Gregg Hurwitz, Robert Ludlum, and lots o of others. We also discuss books in other genres that are high on action and adventure thrills. If you enjoy the adrenaline rush of a good action-filled book of any genre, come over and join the discussion.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.
