  1. 1. Tremor Of Intent

    An Eschatological Spy Novel

    A darkly comic Cold War novel that follows a British intelligence officer whose professional duties become entangled with personal loyalties, sexual relationships, and moral and theological doubts; the narrative satirizes spycraft and bureaucratic pettiness while offering philosophical reflections on identity, duty and the compromises required by political life, blending sharp wit and linguistic play with a bleak assessment of espionage’s human costs.
