HarperCollins Publishers, Ltd

Michael Shea again uses his inimitable behind-the-scenes knowledge of government and political machinations to give us a gripping new thriller. There is something very wrong with the Prime Minister of Britain. He's fatally ill with a mysterious disease, as are a number of famous figures of power. It's too coincidental to be random - these men are being targetted. Harper Guthrie is a US scientist who has been tracking the mysterious disease attempting to ensure it doesn't become a modern plague. Lloyd Thane is the Prime Minister's young gun spin doctor and, having already tasted the heady sensation of power, he's determined to keep the Prime Minister's secret for as long as possible. Rebecca Stevenson is a UK research scientist who is integral to the search for the cure. They all have their own motivations for stopping the spread of the modern plague -- but will they be in time?

THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR

Contemporary

Harpercollins

Following on from his highly successful novels of political intrigue and tricky diplomatic dealings, Spin Doctor and The British Ambassador, Michael Shea again draws on his long experience as a career diplomat to give us an entertaining new novel dramatically set in the new European centre -- Berlin. Berlin -- located between London, Paris, Warsaw and Moscow -- is the new frontline for global diplomacy. The British embassy personnel in Berlin are consequently the most ambitious, charming and ruthless in the service. Alex Murray is sent to Berlin as the no.2 man to the old-fashioned Ambassador, when the previous head left under mysterious circumstances. Caught between mounting international tensions, in particular the flood of refugees at the Russian border incited by a charismatic leader threatening to overflow into Western Europe and create havoc, and the internal rivalries within the embassy, Alex must negotiate both the external crises and the professional demands of the job as a British diplomat in Berlin. The Berlin Embassy authentically recreates the tensions of embassy life and work, cleverly portraying the 'upstairs-downstairs' ambiance of a profession that deals daily with potential political crises. Taut, compelling and topical, Michael Shea once again delves behind the scenes of international diplomacy, a topic in which he is eminently qualified, and emerges with another fascinating and immensely readable thriller.

The prices of recording equipment continue to drop dramatically, giving musicians and sound engineers increasing opportunities to make quality-level recordings. The Ultimate Guide to Music Recording takes a unique approach to this growing market, giving readers two books in one: a concise, tutorial audio engineering text in Part One, and then a ‘cut to the chase’, how to record any instrument fast guide in Part Two. By carefully cross-referencing these sections, industry vet Shea has created the ultimate recording resource: a textbook where you can see immediately how basic principles are utilized in the studio, and a “how-to” guide that comes complete with all the background technical material one could need – particularly when things don’t turn out as planned. Covering the basics of studio recording technology, recording techniques for every major class of instrument, and a masterclass on mixing, this is the most complete guide to music recording ever written.
