Dgse Stories

. . . "Many people tell us they have dreams." She was a French woman, in French Polynesia, and she sat opposite, at our little table, beside a cobbled lane, stretching down towards the foreshore of Pape'ete. Behind me, the sound of a two-stroke scooter looms loud, roars past, swerving inches from my elbow. I see the red singlet and circular logo of a presidential crisis intervention group, the gros bras, the same thugs we were just talking about murdering her friend. She gazes past me, this French woman. Neither blinks, nor turns. . . . #truestory

Anthony Dupont, France's youngest Prime Minister, the guy with the weight of a nation on his shoulders. Louis Aillard, known as "illicite," a DGSE operative, the MI6 of France. Louis, stuck in a year-long contract playing bodyguard due to his 'unhinged' demeanour on the last mission he had done. It's a clash of worlds as Louis, accustomed to the fight or flight life, finds himself playing babysitter to the Prime Minister. Luxury estates, diplomatic affairs, and the ever-present threat of political boredom. Yet, it does help him with one thing, a rather personal mission that threatens to collide with his duty to protect the head of the French government.

When a new terrorist threat rises from the ashes of a botched Special Forces mission, UK MI6 and French DGSE Directors sideline the rules of engagement and create an off-the-books unit which single goal is to hunt down the leader of the new terror group. Fuelled with the resources of both Intelligence Agencies, William and Krystal team up and begin the manhunt.
