State of Terror by Hillary Rodham Clinton & Louise Penny

The new thriller by #1 bestseller authors Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny has been a raging success.

A new administration takes control in the USA. The Presidents choice for Secretary of State comes as a shock. It’s one of his political enemies.

A string of terrorist attacks start a terrifying ball rolling. A swirling mess of Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran and the thirst for nuclear weapons in a highly volatile region creates a nightmare scenrio.

The new American administration is rocked to it’s core but can it recover?

The novel is clever, well plotted, intelligent and gripping. It is definitely on my premier reading list.

State of Terror is available as an audiobook, paperback, e-book, hardcover and Audio CD.

Other great political thriller writers are James Patterson, Catherine Coulter, Ido Graf and Jack Carr.

The Key to Rebecca by Ken Follett

Ken Follett is one of my all time favourite authors and one I would aspire to be like if I were a writer.

His works are meticulously plotted, clever and historically accurate.

Ken Follett is truly a master of the craft of fiction writing. And one of his finest works is ‘The Key to Rebecca’.

A clever thriller set during World War Two in the sands of North Africa. A ruthless spy, Alex Wolff, is Erwin Rommel’s ace in the hole. But he is tracked relentlessly by British officer called Vandam who is assisted by a beautiful woman, Elene.

The Key to Rebecca is well worth a read and is one of the finest thriller novels I have enjoyed.

Talking book or Audiobooks as they are known have had immense market growth in the last twenty years.

An audiobook is a recording of a book which is read out loud. When a narrator or voice over actor reads the complete text it is termed, unabridged, whereas shorter versions are described as abridged.

Spoken audio recordings of books began almost 90 years ago but has seen vast and sustained growth in the last 40 years.

Since the mid-90s the Audio Publishers Association has run the Audie Awards for audiobooks. For the industry it is their, Oscars ceremony. which is equivalent to the Oscar for the audiobook industry. Normally it runs in conjunction with BookExpo America.

Audio has been helped by advances in technology and particularly by tablets, smartphones and multimedia entertainment systems in cars,.

Many listeners tune in to talking books in their cars, while exercising or while performing mundane tasks like hoovering the carpet.

India is one of the most exciting markets for talking books with possibly the greatest growth potential for audiobooks.

Many people in the cities of India face long commutes and audiobooks are a great way to pass the time.

Many commuters prefer business books to listen to as audio books, though fiction, including crime, espionage, political fiction and thrillers, re an increasingly growing market.

Now Audio books are being made in the various Indian languages. The increase in popularity is also fuelled by the increasingly diverse and high quality fiction being written by Indian authors such as: R.K Narayan, Nirad C. Chaudhuri, Mulk Raj Anand, Khushwant Singh, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Anita Desai, Salman Rushdie, Rohinton Mistry, Ruskin Bond, Upamanyu Chatterjee, Amitav Ghosh, Vikram Seth, Aravind Adiga and Jhumpa Lahiri.

And for my Indian readers:

टॉकिंग बुक या ऑडियोबुक, जैसा कि वे जानते हैं, पिछले बीस वर्षों में बाजार में काफी वृद्धि हुई है।

एक ऑडियोबुक एक किताब की रिकॉर्डिंग है जिसे जोर से पढ़ा जाता है। जब कोई कथावाचक या वॉयस ओवर अभिनेता पूरा पाठ पढ़ता है तो उसे संक्षिप्त कहा जाता है, जबकि छोटे संस्करणों को संक्षिप्त रूप में वर्णित किया जाता है।
किताबों की स्पोकन ऑडियो रिकॉर्डिंग लगभग 90 साल पहले शुरू हुई थी, लेकिन पिछले 40 वर्षों में इसमें व्यापक और निरंतर वृद्धि देखी गई है।
90 के दशक के मध्य से ऑडियो पब्लिशर्स एसोसिएशन ने ऑडियोबुक के लिए ऑडी अवार्ड्स चलाए हैं। उद्योग के लिए यह उनका ऑस्कर समारोह है। जो ऑडियोबुक उद्योग के लिए ऑस्कर के बराबर है। आम तौर पर यह BookExpo America के संयोजन में चलता है।
ऑडियो को प्रौद्योगिकी में प्रगति और विशेष रूप से कारों में टैबलेट, स्मार्टफोन और मल्टीमीडिया मनोरंजन प्रणालियों द्वारा मदद मिली है।
कई श्रोता व्यायाम करते समय या कालीन पर फहराने जैसे सांसारिक कार्यों को करते समय अपनी कारों में बात करने वाली किताबों को देखते हैं।
भारत, टॉकिंग बुक्स के लिए सबसे रोमांचक बाजारों में से एक है, जिसमें संभवतः ऑडियोबुक्स के लिए सबसे बड़ी विकास क्षमता है।
भारत के शहरों में बहुत से लोगों को लंबी यात्रा का सामना करना पड़ता है और ऑडियोबुक समय गुजारने का एक शानदार तरीका है।
कई यात्री व्यावसायिक पुस्तकों को ऑडियो पुस्तकों के रूप में सुनना पसंद करते हैं, हालांकि अपराध, जासूसी, राजनीतिक कथा और थ्रिलर सहित कल्पना, एक तेजी से बढ़ता बाजार है।
अब विभिन्न भारतीय भाषाओं में ऑडियो पुस्तकें बनाई जा रही हैं। लोकप्रियता में वृद्धि भारतीय लेखकों द्वारा लिखी जा रही तेजी से विविध और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली कथाओं से भी प्रेरित है जैसे: आरके नारायण, नीरद सी चौधरी, मुल्क राज आनंद, खुशवंत सिंह, रूथ प्रवर झाबवाला, अनीता देसाई, सलमान रुश्दी, रोहिंटन मिस्त्री , रस्किन बॉन्ड, उपमन्यु चटर्जी, अमिताव घोष, विक्रम सेठ, अरविंद अडिगा और झुम्पा लाहिड़ी।
इडिया महान लेखकों वाला एक आकर्षक और जीवंत देश है, जिसे हम सभी को सुनना चाहिए।
यह अमेज़ॅन और ऑडिबल पर उपलब्ध फिक्शन और थ्रिलर शैली में कुछ बेहतरीन ऑडियोबुक की सूची है:

Agent Running in the Field by John Le Carré

John Le Carré’s espionage thriller and his last and twenty-fifth novel, Agent Running in the Field, is a real page turner.

Veteran British Secret Intelligence Service agent, Nat, believes that he has little time left with the Service. He is given a job as the threat grows from Moscow Centre. The agent over ‘The Haven’, a substation of London General. The staff are not of the highest calibre except a young woman, Florence.

The novel has strong political and contemporary overtones and may not be to everyone’s taste.

Ed, Nat’s badminton opponent and employee of a media agency is a catalyst for the story and the dangers that ensue.

Agent Running in the Field, by John Le Carré was a great writer and a titan in the espionage genre. Well worth a read this Christmas holiday!

ジョン・ル・カレのスパイスリラーと彼の最後と25番目の小説、エージェント・ランニング・イン・ザ・フィールドは、本当のページめくりです。

ベテランの英国秘密情報部のエージェント、ナットは、彼がサービスに残っている時間がほとんどないと信じています。モスクワセンターからの脅威が大きくなるにつれて、彼は仕事を与えられます。ロンドン将軍の変電所である「TheHaven」のエージェント。若い女性、フローレンスを除いて、スタッフは最高の能力を持っていません。

この小説は、政治的および現代的な印象が強く、すべての人の好みに合うとは限りません。

ナットのバドミントンの対戦相手であり、メディアエージェンシーの従業員であるエドは、物語とそれに続く危険のきっかけとなります。

ジョン・ル・カレの「フィールドで走るエージェント」は、スパイのジャンルで偉大な作家であり巨人でした。このクリスマス休暇は一読の価値があります!

Der Spionagethriller von John Le Carré und sein letzter und fünfundzwanzigster Roman, Agent Running in the Field, sind ein echter Seitenwender. Der erfahrene Agent des britischen Geheimdienstes, Nat, glaubt, dass er nur noch wenig Zeit für den Dienst hat. Er bekommt einen Job, als die Bedrohung vom Moskauer Zentrum wächst. Der Agent über "The Haven", einem Umspannwerk von London General. Das Personal ist nicht von höchster Qualität, außer einer jungen Frau, Florence. Der Roman hat starke politische und zeitgenössische Obertöne und ist möglicherweise nicht jedermanns Geschmack. Ed, Nats Badminton-Gegner und Angestellter einer Medienagentur, ist ein Katalysator für die Geschichte und die daraus resultierenden Gefahren. Agent Running in the Field von John Le Carré war ein großartiger Schriftsteller und ein Titan im Spionage-Genre. Es lohnt sich, diese Weihnachtsferien zu lesen!

Le thriller d'espionnage de John Le Carré et son dernier et vingt-cinquième roman, Agent Running in the Field, est un véritable tourneur de pages. L'agent vétéran des services secrets britanniques, Nat, estime qu'il lui reste peu de temps avec le service. On lui donne un travail alors que la menace grandit du centre de Moscou. L’agent de «The Haven», une sous-station du London General. Le personnel n'est pas du plus haut calibre sauf une jeune femme, Florence. Le roman a de fortes connotations politiques et contemporaines et peut ne pas être du goût de tout le monde. Ed, l'opposant au badminton de Nat et employé d'une agence médiatique, est un catalyseur de l'histoire et des dangers qui en découlent. Agent Running in the Field de John Le Carré était un grand écrivain et un titan du genre espionnage. Ça vaut vraiment le coup de lire ces vacances de Noël!


Il thriller di spionaggio di John Le Carré e il suo ultimo e venticinquesimo romanzo, L'agente che corre sul campo, è un vero voltapagina. L'agente veterano dei servizi segreti britannici, Nat, crede di avere poco tempo rimasto con il servizio. Gli viene dato un lavoro mentre la minaccia cresce dal centro di Mosca. L'agente di "The Haven", una sottostazione del London General. Il personale non è di altissimo livello tranne una giovane donna, Florence. Il romanzo ha forti sfumature politiche e contemporanee e potrebbe non essere per tutti i gusti. Ed, l'avversario di badminton di Nat e impiegato di un'agenzia di media è un catalizzatore per la storia e i pericoli che ne derivano. L'agente Running in the Field di John Le Carré è stato un grande scrittore e un titano nel genere dello spionaggio. Vale la pena leggere questa vacanza di Natale!

El thriller de espionaje de John Le Carré y su última y vigésimo quinta novela, Agent Running in the Field, es un verdadero cambio de página. El veterano agente del Servicio Secreto de Inteligencia Británico, Nat, cree que le queda poco tiempo en el Servicio. Se le asigna un trabajo a medida que crece la amenaza del Centro de Moscú. El agente de "The Haven", una subestación de London General. El personal no es del más alto calibre, excepto una mujer joven, Florence. La novela tiene fuertes connotaciones políticas y contemporáneas y puede que no sea del gusto de todos. Ed, el oponente de bádminton de Nat y empleado de una agencia de medios, es un catalizador de la historia y los peligros que conlleva. Agent Running in the Field de John Le Carré fue un gran escritor y un titán en el género del espionaje. ¡Vale la pena leer estas vacaciones de Navidad!

John Le Carré spionage-thriller og hans sidste og femogtyvende roman, Agent Running in the Field, er en rigtig sideturner. Veteran britisk hemmelig efterretningstjeneste agent, Nat, mener, at han har lidt tid tilbage med tjenesten. Han får et job, da truslen vokser fra Moskva Center. Agenten over 'The Haven', en understation for London General. Personalet er ikke af højeste kaliber undtagen en ung kvinde, Firenze. Romanen har stærke politiske og moderne overtoner og er muligvis ikke for alles smag. Ed, Nats modstander af badminton og medarbejder i et mediebureau er en katalysator for historien og de farer, der følger med. Agent Running in the Field af John Le Carré var en stor forfatter og en titan i spionagegenren. Værd at læse denne juleferie!
