THE PERFECT SPY


For uncounted ages Shadith existed only as a spirit entrapped in the Diadem - a powerful and enigmatic alien artifact - but now, freed and once again in a body of her own, she finds that she has developed the ability to infiltrate any group by transferring her consciousness into another living creature - thus becoming the perfect spy.  And an ideal employee of Excavations Limited, a high-tech private detective agency known for the unique talents of its investigators.

Hired to locate and return a Disruptor - a device which has the power to compromise any known security system - Shadith is sent to Ambela, a planet devastated by war.  But in pursuit of the thief, a being with chameleon-like powers, Shadith stumbles across a far greater crime.

Will her special talents be enough to break up a syndicate which creates civil wars as a tourist attraction?

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
