The Great Betrayal: The Definitive Story of Blunt, Philby, Burgess, and Maclean by Douglas Sutherland
Requirements: .PDF reader, 5.8mb
Overview: The Great Betrayal recounts the most momentous and fascinating true spy story in post-war history. Revealed here for the first time is the detailed up-to-the-minute account of the four notorious English Communist agents who have made worldwide headlines for a generation. Philby, Burgess and Maclean have already become legendary in the West, and Blunt now joins them.
Douglas Sutherland not only relates the story of their espionage and flight, but tells what has happened to them since and what has been learned since - including the recent astonishing revelations about Sir Anthony Blunt, the Curator of the Queen of England’s royal art collections.
Neither the KGB nor the British Secret Service will ever open their files to the public.
Accordingly, Douglas Sutherland’s The Great Betrayal will remain the definitive account of these four best-known traitors of our time. The significance of their treachery is suggested by the fact that at least one of them, David Maclean, had privileged access to the secret files of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission throughout the period of rivalry with Russia in the race to produce the ultimate bomb.

Maclean, Guy Burgess and Kim Philby defected to Soviet Russia. Sir Anthony Blunt, whose traitorship was disclosed in the House of Commons by the Prime Minister, survives, a broken man, in England.
Burgess and Maclean had joined the Communist cause in college, when fascism was rising. In 1945, a defecting KGB agent offered to
disclose their identities as Soviet agents within the top ranks of the British Government. Incredibly, the matter was turned over to Kim Philby, himself a secret KGB colonel!
In The Great Betrayal, Douglas Sutherland enables us finally to know how these traitors operated, how they escaped and what fate held in store for them.

Carry Me Away by Ashley Weston
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.3MB | Retail
Overview: Sometimes the unexpected is just what the doctor ordered...

Harper Mason finds solace in hiding. She spends all her days as a school teacher, and spends all her nights reading to her heart's content. It's easier to focus on the happy endings of fictional characters than focus on the realization that she may never have it. That is, until she follows a whim to go visit her big brother, and best friend, Jasper. He lives in Mountain Creek, Colorado working at Marlow Boy's Ranch and he convinces her to stay for the summer-- forcing her to interact and be seen. What she doesn't know is her brother's best friend Everett, who disappeared after high school, is now working there too.

Everett Jones is the ranch's music teacher. He's quiet and reserved and sometimes-- downright grumpy. Hiding from his own past hurts, he loves spending his days with needy boys and away from the heartache he carries. Harper and him were friends growing up, and now he avoids her. He is kind and personable to everyone at the ranch but her, and yet, all she wants is the truth.
With a lifetime of health issues and self doubt, Harper doesn't believe love will conquer all. But, is she wrong? She is falling in love with this place, these boys, and if she isn't careful-- with the brooding talented friend she used to know who has a voice of an angel, instead of a man.
