Ua hana kahi palapala spionage i kahi hoʻololi kūpono e hoʻomaʻa i nā manawa o kēia manawa. ʻO ke kūlana politika kūwaho o kēia lā e kaʻana like i ka hana ma waena o ka wahi o ke kino o nā ʻāina a me nā palena a me ka hohonu o ka pūnaewele kahi i loaʻa ai ka hoihoi politika a i ʻole ka hoʻokele waiwai i kahi mana i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma waena o nā kahe o ka manaʻo a me nā hoʻoweliweli o cyberattacks. Nā mea kākau koʻikoʻi o ke ʻano i kona manawa hua nui loa e like me ʻO John Le Carré , ʻO Tom Clancy aiʻole ʻO Frederick forsyth, huki mau me nā kumuwaiwai o ke kenekulia iwakālua. Akā ʻo kēlā me kēia mea kākau e ʻimi nei e hoʻopuka i kahi moʻolelo kiu o kēia wā pono e kū pono i ka hopena mamao o ke kaua anuanu i kahi hakakā latent hou ma waena o ka maoli a me ka ʻike kamepiula.
A pehea kēia ʻO David Baldacci y ʻO Daniel Silva a ua maopopo iā Charles Cumming pono lākou e hoʻomaka mai ka hui i ʻōlelo ʻia aʻe nei, me ka momona o ka hoʻolālā a me ka sophistication e hoʻopau ai i ka mea heluhelu i ka pīhoihoi i nā hopena kupaianaha.
Alakaʻi ʻo Cumming iā mākou i 85 Alanui Albert Embankment e komo i nā keʻena MI6, kahi i kū ai ka paʻakikī loa o nā contingencies a puni kahi mole e hoʻoweliweli ana i nā lawelawe ʻike Pelekane a me ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka honua koina politika paʻakikī.
I ka honua o ka ʻike kahi i ʻike ai kēlā me kēia ʻākena o kēlā me kēia kino i nā mea huna a me nā kumuwaiwai nui, ʻo ka kānalua wale nō e pāʻani paha kekahi o lākou i ʻelua ala huli i nā mea āpau i lalo. E like me nā manawa ʻē aʻe, ʻo kekahi o nā ʻākena hakakā loa, ʻo Thomas Kell (nona ka hana kaumaha a mākou i aʻo mua ai e pili ana i ka puke o kēia saga) i nā kaohi o kahi hoʻokolokolo e ʻike ai i ka mole.
Hāʻawi ʻia ka haunaele. No ka mea i ka neʻe ʻana o ka mole i lalo e ʻike ʻia nā pahele a me nā pilikia i manaʻo ʻole ʻia. ʻIke nui ka mole e pili ana i ka hui a kākoʻo ʻia e kāna mea kākoʻo kikoʻī i ka nuʻukia e hoʻoneʻe i nā mea āpau. ʻO ka pepehi kanaka ʻana o kekahi o nā luna MI6, ka mea i make i kahi ulia pōpilikia me he mea lā ʻaʻole i waiho kahi no ka kānalua, hoʻomaka i kahi hoʻokolokolo alakaʻi ʻia e kahi Thomas Kell makemake e hana i kekahi mea e hoʻolaulea iā ia iho me ka hui.
Hele mākou i ka hapalua o ka honua, me nā ala hele kaʻahele mai ka Hikina Waena a ke komohana. ʻO Istanbul ka hihia koʻikoʻi ma waena o nā ao kūʻē ʻelua a mai laila kahi kipi me kēlā hopena o ka kipi ʻana mai nā manawa ʻē aʻe i hui pū ʻia me nā lālā kumuwaiwai o kēia wā.
Ke ʻike nei ʻo Thomas Kell pehea e launa pū nei ka hihia me kona wā e hiki mai ana, me kona hōʻole ʻana ma ke ʻano he agena. Wale, ʻo ka mea āu e huki ai i nā kaula, ʻaʻole maopopo iā ia e hana ana ʻo Thomas i kāna mea maikaʻi loa, ʻaʻole ia i manaʻo e haʻalele i kahi ʻāpana wale. A e huki ʻo ia i kāna hoʻolālā ponoʻī i ka palena e hōʻoia ai ʻaʻole e pio ka honua i kekahi o nā pilikia nui loa ...
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka puke Complot ma Istanbul, ka puke hou na Charles Cumming, ma aneʻi:
