\u201cThe Spy Who Never Was\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Karl PT Walsh<\/p>\n

\u2018He was on the trail of no one, on a mission to nowhere,\u00a0 searching for absolutely… nothing.\u2019<\/p>\n

Steven Quinn doesn\u2019t know what time it is. He spends his days at the cinema dreaming in the dark when he should be working for Sheila. A life that suited them when they were graduates ten years ago but that was then.
\nBefore the summer is over Steven will learn that this life was never what it seemed to be, as his relationship breaks down he is cast adrift into a new world of confusion, deception and too much to drink.
\nSteven gets an interview for a job that he doesn\u2019t remember applying for, a job that takes him away from the comfort and boredom of his previous life\u00a0 and puts him at the dead centre of a terrorist conspiracy.
\nBut who\u2019s side is Steven on? The police are very keen to find out. Who is\u00a0 Mad Sean Quinn?\u00a0 and when does a freedom fighter become a terrorist?
\nDoes Steven\u2019s salvation lie in the hands of a glamourous female agent with an\u00a0 alias problem, or in the hands of \u2018The Big American\u2019?
\nBeaten half to death and running for his life, Steven is forced to confront his own identity; who he was, who he is, and where he came from.
\nThe Minister has an \u2018Orrery\u2019, a model of the solar system, and naturally Steven Quinn does not feature in it, neither does Raul Hassiq the Moroccan, The Big American or the girl with no name.\u00a0 The World turns, and the planets will realign themselves, but when time changes everything a dreamer\u2019s life can so easily become real, a dream can so easily become a nightmare and Steven Quinn could so easily be a Spy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
