The Right Guard

Autor Alexandra Hamlet
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 feb 2012
Over one million military weapons and equipment are missing from the U.S. military inventories across the country. Who is stealing the weapons and why? CIA operative Eric Brent, and his revolutionary light weapon invention, is used by CIA to flush out a secretive, "phantom" group hostile to a wildly spending, intrusive U.S. Administration that threatens to destroy the American economy and shrink individual freedoms. Hamlet takes you through the twists and turns of the secretive world of intelligence as the undercover assignment goes astray. Eric exposes a far-reaching and well-planned movement and an event that could alter the United States forever. Strained loyalties arise as the "phantom" group appeals to Eric and his superiors. At the height of his infiltration, a former lover, Jill, re-enters his life and places them both in danger. Loyal forces within the intelligence community struggle to learn who is involved and organise counter-moves yet stay undetected. Each question ends in surprise as personal and professional conflicts for Eric arise. He is forced to reach back into his high-ranking fathers Nazi Germany past . . . to solicit help. The year is 1978, yet "The Right Guard" resembles the present state of the political and economic climate of the U.S. and a possible, eerie scenario and outcome. "The Right Guard" is an exercise in gripping, fast-paced realism that keeps the reader mesmerised through the eyes of those who live in the intelligence world.

Suspense author visits Belvoir ExchangeJanuary 26, 2012By Justin Creech, Belvoir Eagle Interested readers on post flocked to the Fort Belvoir Post Exchange Friday, Saturday and Sunday to pick up a copy of The Right Guard. The Right Guard, a political fiction novel by Alexandra Hamlet is a suspense-filled journey through the world of intelligence and defense in the 1970's. Though set in 1978, The Right Guard resembles the present political and economic climate of the United States. The opportunity to get an inside look at the intelligence world attracted people to buy the book. "I buy lots of books particularly if they have anything to do with war and Soldiers," said Retired Air Force (Col.) Jim Nanjo. "It doesn't matter if it's a novel, historical fiction or non-fiction. I just want to know how people in intelligence see the role of Soldiers and the people who defend the nation." Hamlet is a Harvard-educated cultural anthropologist, an international lecturer and a defense anthropologist. She was an auxiliary nurse in London, England; international lecturer and consultant specializing in the Far East and Pacific Rim; Special Student and Visiting Fellow, Harvard University; an executive search specialist for world-wide C-suite positions; and is a consultant on irregular warfare. The book starts at the end of World War II in a German retention camp after the allies had won the war. There are senior German officers living in the camp with their Families and the U.S. Government is deciding whether or not to send them to the Russians, bring them to the United States or put them in prison. "First, the book is based on events and also my own personal experience," said Hamlet. "I was 14 years in defense and left a couple of years ago. I lived some of this, although this is a novel." The Right Guard is the first of a trilogy that Hamlet is producing. The book was published Jan. 1, but there were preorders in November
