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!

Moebius 2157 | ONC2019 Short List [Complete] by taivaan_sininen

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019!

Devils Rebels (MC) by KishaMyers

I admit it, I was stupid to think that me of all people would be an ordinary woman. Nope. I've lived through tremendous abuse from being in foster care after my parents were both murdered within 3 months of each other and then the sudden death of my Older brother Jake. Now here I am, falling madly, deeply, head over heels in love for the president of the Devils Rebels MC. What in the actual fuck is wrong with me? Will I be able to find answers of who killed my parents? Was my brothers untimely death really an accident or a cover up? I just hope that me and my best friend Erica with the help of Rip and his club, will be able to uncover the truth... and live to tell their story and grant them the justice that they deserve. 9/28/2020 highest rank: #4 biker 12/24/2020 highest rank: #1 Brute

We Are 1! (A Hetalia Fanfic) by GNxDDD

"...and it was then, that I realized, I was sort of dating the world..." -Taishya Taishya did not grow up like any average kid and being a spy she hardly notices she is only 18. Her parents were spies and in total, only spent two years with her in her whole life. Her parents were also close friends with the mysterious Ivan Braginski (Russia) who Taishya had known all her life as an "uncle", a "brother", a best friend and now a lover. Taishya would do anything for her country and Ivan, but when Taishya is asked to take on a mission, leave for 6 months, and take on 7 alter egos to get close to a certain 7 countries and try and find valuable information from them, can she really ditch Ivan? Can she really cope with not seeing her beloved country for six months? And most importantly, can she keep the secret that she is actually a Russian spy and just one person? DISCLAIMER: The only things that I own are the plot, Taishya and any other OC's I might decide to include. Hetalia and it's characters belong to their rigthful genious owner, Hidekaz Himaruya. xD

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!

Spies In Love by secretsuperstar08

I stopped just as the tip of her sword touched my chest. "You're quite the fighter, aren't you? How did you manage to kill them without bloodshed." I asked, smirking. She narrowed her eyes at me. "I'm not answerable to you and if you're so curious then keep up with this act and you'll soon find out." She said, thrusting the sword forward, such that it pierced my chest a little, a few of drops of blood trickling from the wound. * Samantha Johnson aka Sam as she prefers is a twenty one year old immortal who happens to be the top spy of RAW( Indian intelligence agency). RAW has a different division which focuses on keeping the country safe from supernatural forces. The Power Division is not unknown. Azim Hamla is a wanted criminal in almost every country.

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

Twisted #Wattys2019 by IzKippie

Unusual dialogue system that doesn't get used as far as I know but to differ the dialogues from each other(this is just a personal preference of mine to clear up any confusion about who's talking) ------ THIS BOOK IN NO WAY IS INTENDED TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING -Suicide -Self harm Please seek professional help or talk to somebody whom you trust if you struggle with things like these(if it didn't already happen) ------- What seems to be cute at first, can turn out to be a tremendous disaster, or simply a way of getting their satisfaction without having malicious intentions? --- Disclaimers; -bloody scenes(well it'll be detailed) -mentions of suicide/self harm/murder -strong language(quite some cursing due to Tourette's, not a lot as it's not always put in) --- Each chapter ±500 words or more(usually more, excluding prologue&epilogue) --- Started: 10/02/'18 Completed: 12/06/'18 --- All rights are reserved for Jolymoy_awaaay©, copying is not allowed

Always Doesn't Mean Forever: Book 1 (Severus Snape/student) by _idkdude_

TW: listen, I wrote this when I was 15 years old. I don't remember what's in half of it, nor do I really want to. 😅 It's not well written. It's crude, immature, and above all- a cry for help. The only reason I haven't archived it is because writing this story helped me disassociate for many years. It is what kept me going and while I don't really remember it's contents I do know I poured all of my personal trauma into it depending on my mood which was- well I'm on mood stabilizers now. 😅 Anyway it was the only thing I really had in life for a long time. I guess I'm still weirdly holding onto as a piece of me. Like my own little horcrux. That being said I do remember this can be just outright horrific. TW TW TW TW TW for literally everything. I don't know how else to put it. If you have a major trigger it's more than likely in this series and I didn't know what a trigger warning was so- enjoy. Or don't. Either way. 😅 I'm so sorry. Alex Knight is a Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She's in her fifth year and desires nothing more than to one day get away from her family to something better. As the year unravels Alex finds out things about herself that changes her entire life for good. Things really start to complicate when she falls for the potions master and nothing is ever the same as it was. Follow Alex on an adventure of new found knowledge, family secrets, hidden pasts, and much much more. I would also like everyone to remember I finished book one and two at the age of fifteen. So, please 😅
