assassin cia espionage guides howtos mi6 rti sas spy

Let's face it: The espionage genre is a tough one. 
We espionage writers have to carefully toe a line between "too unrealistic" to "boring" or "not imaginative enough."  Probably one of the hardest genres to write, I have made a guide listing my experiences and difficulties in writing espionage, as well as advice and tips as well. 
My hope is that this guide will make it (slightly) easier for you to write your espionage story. 
Good luck!

Assassin's Assassin(Canceled) by YuruenBernal

The story is about an ex-Assassin who strives on killing his brother. Strives to overpower his brother and prove he didn't need his father's power to be strong. This Assassin used to make a living as an Assassin for hire, killing for money because he didn't know how to do anything else. But when he becomes a larger threat than even the Kings of a respective region, he begins to be chased down by other Assassins for hire, who want to kill him for a very big paycheck. Though, hired Assassins aren't the only ones looking to kill him, a secret organization also strives for the same thing. Phoenix Hunters are ordered to track him down and kill him, these Phoenix target only those who pose a threat to a respective King of any region and pose an eminent threat to that King's order, law, and form of government. Being seen as such a threat, follow Jonah through his journey to survive all these Assassins that strive on killing him. Join him as he struggles to survive and continues to try and kill his brother multiple times, see as he develops into more than just a legendary killing machine and survives by eliminating other fellow Assassins. Probably even Phoenix Assassins, who are claimed to be the strongest of all powerful fighters. As of Monday, June 19, 2017. This story will be weekly updated on Saturdays, and I'll try my best to stick to that. Though, be aware that there will be times I'll update a day early or late. It'll all depend on my situation.

Bet We Could Make Some MORE (History Huh?) by wonderland_batgirl

Alex and Henry are newly engaged and planning their wedding as Alex's first Congressional election is coming up. While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be. But as the wedding approaches, it eats at him as he realizes Alex and him want different lives. Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired? Follows book cannon (but not the bonus chapter exactly) and takes place 6 years after the end of the book. Chapters will alternate being told from Henry and Alex's POVs. *Was on hold for a few months (May-August 2024) during my graduation and moving but new posts weekly starting Monday, Sep. 30!! There will likely be 25 total. TRIGGER WARNINGS: mental health issues, drug and alcohol use, disordered eating, profanity, and (light) sexual content Note: Please consider the politics in this story to be a very fictional representation, and they do NOT truly represent US politics.

However, when Nolan is called upon by the Central Intelligence Agency to investigate rumors of terrorist activity, what he uncovers is more than he ever bargained for. Old enemies are planning to disrupt the way society functions and have created a system that seems unbreakable.

The Unintended Consequences of Accidentally Stealing from a Dead Man by DerekEland

What would you do if you came across a dead man and accidentally stole his watch? For Luc it was to be a game changer. The problem? The dead man was a murdered spy with a dark secret. Consequent events throw Amy, the dead spy's daughter, and Luc together in a search to find the truth about her father. It takes them on a breathless chase across the world as they become unlikely heroes catapulted into the dark and dangerous world of state secrets, international espionage, Russian assassins and Iranian double agents in this compelling, surprising and often dark story. Many years ago I came across a dead man at a waterfall and although I didn't accidentally steal anything it provided the start point for this story. I also worked with the intelligence services in the UK and this has helped with some of the parts of the story. This is my first novel, although I've had two non fiction books published and have contributed to many articles in international newspapers. Word count: about 85,000 words, 70 chapters, all written, currently editing and releasing on a regular basis.

The Sadistic Pair (Karma x Reader) - Discontinued by TheMonsterofReading

in the class you were put in after the discovery of you having the same powers of class E's sensei (not tentacles) _backstory_ you were born but then...the family was attacked. this happened 3 years I a row with family members dying in progress of protecting you..because of your 'supernatural' body you've been caught once at 10 and tortured by the experiments.... they tried to turn you into a super soldier, minimising your mercy for people as much as possible.. every encounter with you they've had, they filmed. using those moments to make you insane you managed to get a split personality disorder of 3 people....4 if you include insanity...which has been what you've been showing for a while... the different attitudes have helped you in situations you've been awkward in and so while you yourself is inside feeling depressed, the other selves have to show up to take up your place. otherwise you'd be like an empty canister Your hair changes colour due to emotions. some emotions are the same colours (sorry if your eye colour is one of the eye colours your eyes change into your original eye colour. you can just change it if you want to same with your hair colour.) the blue hoodie and bandana your boyfriend used to wear you kept and wore you used it as a disguise to get away from the guys that have been chasing you your whole life. your voice changed so it sounded like a guy's and to be honest, everyone you met In that disguise believed you...including the enemy your family was rich and you had a lot of money, yet you all chose to live a simple life. you still did that after they all died. what you and your family did for a job you continued... until you saw a strange yellow thing in the sky... following the direction of the octopus thing you managed to catch up using some of your power...he went to china for tea? he then flew you back to what he said will be your new class from now on. E-Class *I don't

Triggers & Tribulations by Intenndo

✎ "I could've killed you that night and I didn't. I had my gun to your head ready to drain the life from you, but I didn't." His eyes averted mine, and I saw an opening in them, something I wouldn't even have considered looking for if I was still overcome by anger. "Why didn't you?" I asked, watching him as he began to play with his sleeve cuffs in a way that I knew was unique to him. "Because I know what it's like to fight for something you love. Killing you would have just made me no different than another monster who lost themselves in the fight." He continued, "And I saw something in you I haven't seen in myself in a while- fire." ✎ Two unlikely allies ─ a fiery, hot-headed spy and a slick, calculating conman ─ are forced to team up to track down a dangerous criminal and uncover why sensitive information is being leaked. But as their pursuit pulls them deeper into a web of betrayal and deception, they discover that the whistleblower is just the beginning. Hidden in the shadows lies a not-so-human world-and with it, a truth neither of them is prepared to face. Along the way, their undeniable (yet endlessly denied) attraction threatens to ignite, even as the world around them begins to unravel.

Two Different People Collide (Blood & Bones MC Book 2) by bscamper

I recommend reading the first book in the series, "Two Different Worlds Collide" Otherwise certain details won't make sense in this book. I update this book daily. Amelia is a free spirit. She is a happy go lucky kind of person and is always bouncing around from place to place. She is always out to have a good time, bring on the tequila she always says. She has very few people that have stayed as a constant in her life, but Ember is one of those people. So when her best friend is going to be getting married she has to be there even if she is on the run from something and might be bringing that danger along with her. Blade has a dark past. He was in special forces in the military and saw somethings he wishes he could forget. His training has made him deadly. He was dead inside until Ember showed up to the club something within her lit a small Flame within him bringing a piece of him back to life. It was fitting that his Prez named her Flame. No he didn't have any romantic feelings for her. He felt protective of her and that only intensified after she got abducted and hurt on his watch. Her and the Prez are about to get married soon and that brings along a woman completely opposite of him. She is light and he is darkness. But it seems there is darkness following close behind his light. Can Blade keep the darkness from touching his light? Can they overcome their differences and have something beautiful? I strive to update daily. I hope you enjoy!

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)
