Book Description

August 1, 2008
"High-stakes, high-octane thriller...my kind of book."
-Lee Child


When you move, they watch. When you speak, they listen. They track you by what you touch and how you walk.


Welcome to the not-so-distant future, where terrorism is so feared that near-total surveillance is a way of life. In Washington, a young American agent, Kat Polinski, is on a routine assignment: break into the embassy of the energy-rich government of Kazakhstan. What she finds is a massacre. But the worst is yet to come: the murder of her sister - and the discovery of a plot as dangerous as anything coming out of the Middle East.


From the first explosive chapter, you're hooked. Nothing and no-one will stop Kat from hunting down her sister's killer. But the closer she gets the more she peels away layers of her own society where fear is used to control and governments act above the law.

'High-stakes, high-octane thriller...my kind of book' - Lee Child 'Die Hard meets 1984...Fast-moving, sophisticated entertainment' - WASHINGTON POST 'Doesn't skimp on entertainment...sharp plotting...an enjoyable slice of thriller pie' - BALTIMORE SUN 'Impressive...an all-too-believable, distinctly Orwellian premise with a kick-ass heroine' - BOOKLIST

About the Author

Humphrey Hawksley's face and voice are known to millions through his books and broadcasts. His work as a foreign correspondent has taken him all over the world, and since Nine Eleven he has been reporting extensively on Islamic terror and intelligence issues from the United States, Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. Earlier, he was expelled from Sri Lanka for his uncompromising coverage on the Tamil separatist war, reported from the Philippines for NPR and opened the BBC's first television bureau in China. He has been a contributor to ABC, CBS. NBC, the Financial Times, the International Herald Tribune and Yale Global online magazine. He divides his time between reporting assignments, London and Suffolk on Britain's east coast, where he was born and raised, and is the wild and desolate setting for much of SECURITY BREACH.

More About the Author

I'm a foreign correspondent and the author of best-selling international thrillers. In The History Book, I've used interviews with hundreds of people in dozens of different of countries to draw a credible picture of a scary near-future world and I've created within it Kat Polinski, a bright, vulnerable, unsettled heroine. The first reviews rave about the concept and describe Kat as fabulous, the type of heroine we love to root for. The issues are total government surveillance, contracted out to private companies who control energy supplies for their own gain. True or false? The realistic backdrops match my Dragon trilogy of future global wars and the three stand alone thrillers, mostly set in Asia. But with Kat, I've tried something more ambitious, so please let me know if you think it works.

I live in London and travel crazily. Most recently, I've reported from (in alphabetical order) Brazil, Cyprus, India, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Sweden and all over the US. My website is www.humphreyhawksley.com Send me your thoughts on The History Book or any of my reports. One thing I love is lively debate.
