About this item

November, 1989. The fall of the Berlin Wall is imminent, an event that will mark the end of one era and the dawn of another. Few people realize, though, how dangerously close the plan is to becoming a violent catastrophe. Still reeling from the embarrassment of the Cambridge Spy Ring, the British Foreign Intelligence Service (MI6), decide a new approach is needed for recruiting their agents. Operation Bird’s Nest begins, and potential recruits are placed in key sectors of British industry to be trained for a life of espionage. To ensure there are no infiltrations or betrayals this time around, not even the recruits themselves are told the true nature and purpose of their training. The idea is perfect, but what happens when disaster strikes, and two of these fledgling recruits are thrown straight into active service, before their training is done? Join Steph and Chris, as they desperately, often unknowingly, work to ensure the collapse of the Iron Curtain proceeds smoothly, with a minimum of bloodshed. With careful attention paid to historical detail, Spies in Their Spare Time is a gripping thriller that provides an alternate, fictional version of events. It examines the trials and tribulations of two unprepared and untested agents, asked to be ruthless and efficient in the field, while dealing with the all too human problems of day-to-day life.
