The Three Honest Scoundrels

Three liars. Two intelligence services. One war neither side fully understands. Levant Station sits at the crossroads of empires-a neutral haven where smugglers, merchants, diplomats, and spies conduct business beneath the watchful eyes of customs officials who know better than to ask too many questions. There, three strangers become friends. Lukas Varga is a charming smuggler whose honest face conceals a talent for selling information to anyone willing to pay. Mateo Pujari is a failed businessman with a gift for intelligence analysis and an imagination far more productive than any real spy network. Selim Karatas is a discreet valet who discovers that the secrets hidden inside diplomatic households can change the course of wars. As conflict spreads between the Anglo worlds and the expanding Aurigan Dominion, each man is drawn into espionage for his own reasons-profit, opportunity, conscience, and survival. Before long they find themselves navigating a dangerous landscape of double agents, counterfeit fortunes, fabricated networks, stolen documents, and carefully managed betrayals. The problem is that both sides think they are being manipulated by professionals. >Inspired by the remarkable true stories of Second World War double agents, The Three Honest Scoundrels is a witty and character-driven science-fiction espionage adventure about friendship, deception, and the curious ways ordinary rogues can influence history. Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent spy fiction, classic adventure stories, and science fiction with humor and heart.
