Fudge

Stephen Kendall

Beschreibung

Council house life in the tough end of South East London is no joke.
Life in those days revolved around the betting shop, the working mans club, fights, mundane working life, boredom, alcohol and who ever you can take home and hopefully alleviate what can best be described as a crippling waste. Failing the 11+ in 1959 meant you were consigned to the scrap heap of life. The fact that I could put 2 and 2 together and signed my name meant that the delightful Sedgehill Secondary Modern had fulfilled it`s obligation regarding supplying me with an education, at fifteen years of age I was on the streets but something inside knew this life was not for me. Salvation came in a Chinese Take away when I was standing there somewhat inebriated a former apprentice colleague came in looking as fit as a butchers dog "God you look a mess" was his`s opening line. He invited me to a Council run sub aqua club which he has a heavy involvement with, I never looked back. It was made clear to me from the off that sub-aqua can be a dangerous sport when it goes wrong and if you are not prepared to take responsibility for yourself and your diving partner there`s the door. I took the responsibility onboard and partnered some very nice people and was given advice and direction. Denis O`Callaghan, Alan Bennett and the late Tom Shanly, I will always be eternally grateful.
To those that feel as I was LOST, believe me it`s out there, you just have to go and find it.

What If? Box Set

Tinnean

Welcome to the world of Spy vs. Spook/Mann of My Dreams. However, in this alternate reality, things are just slightly different.
The stories in this box set take place ask the simple question what if? What if the WBIS was disbanded and Mark Vincent was recruited by the CIA? What if Kyle Winchester, the hyper WBIS agent, actually turns out to be Mark Vincent's son? What if Tony and Bryan Sebring, who've been raised as biological brothers, turn out to not be related by blood at all? And finally, what if, in spite of the fact that they were adversaries, when Mark is ordered to erase Quinton Mann, he can't, and what if Quinn still turns to him for help?
Contains the stories:
No One Should Be Alone: When the WBIS is disbanded, Mark Vincent agrees to being recruited by the CIA. Things don't go well since the Company doesn't trust him. Quinton Mann is willing to give Mark a chance, but their mission falls apart due to interference. Now Mark wants out, and Quinn can't blame him, although he doesn't want the former special agent to leave. Will a drink on Christmas Eve change things for both men?
Family Is What You Make It: Kyle Winchester has grown from an unhappy child to a linguistics genius, wanted by both the CIA and the WBIS, to the point both agencies will do anything to foil the other and get him. Even though the CIA succeeds, Kyle grows disillusioned. Will he turn to the WBIS, and if he does, how will that affect his personal life, as well as his professional one?
Sweetest Taboo: Anthony Sebring II loves his country, but he's fiercely devoted to his siblings, most especially his little brother. There's an age difference, though, and then they're separated by the Second World War. However, there's a secret about his birth that could destroy everything he loves, and if he doesn't cut ties with his siblings, this secret will be revealed. Will he be able to keep it hidden?
Nowhere Else to Go: Mark Vincent, who's WBIS, and Quinton Mann, who's CIA, have been adversaries since the day they crossed paths, but in spite of that, they've never tried to kill each other. Someone is unhappy about that and has Quinn attacked. With nowhere else to go, Quinn finds himself at Mark's door. Will the spy help him, or has the spook gone from the frying pan into the fire?
