Project Black Hungarian

For Rookies, Spying Is A Dangerous Game The Board for Industrial Research and Development has been shaping major political decisions since 1929. You haven't heard of them because no-one has. They're efficient, discreet and professional. Working under the guise of a multi-faceted consultancy firm. But a new threat to their customers means all that could be about to change. A new technology is to be tested in an extensive field trial, the world's largest electric car expedition WAVE offering the perfect cover for the trial. BIRD has no desire to see it succeed. The implications are too vast. After much deliberation, a decision has been made. The usual countermeasures are taken and a team is dispatched. The mission is to be low-key, no more than a routine training exercise: an opportunity for BIRD to blood the next generation of field operatives. There is, it seems, little that can go wrong. But the new recruits are young and impulsive; quick to act when caution should be the name of the game. One bad decision leads to another, and soon the mission is spiralling out of control. For BIRD has failed to notice one important detail. Suddenly, all eyes are on WAVE. * Project Black Hungarian (http://blackhungarian.com ) is the first book of its kind: It is the unusual combination of a fictional story and facts and true events which happened during the electric vehicle rallye WAVE 2013, and characters whose role models are dyed-in-the-wool enthusiasts taken from real life that make this novel unique. The adventure lets you share the thrill of young spies who are recruited by a ruthlessly led secret organisation, and manipulated shamelessly. At the same time the story takes you on a virtual trip to fascinating locations and beautiful landscapes that were visited during the rallye. A special delicacy, if you will, is that through the eyes of the spy characters, you can take a clandestine peek at how today's intelligence agencies like NSA or GCHQ operate while gathering information. Suffice to say, it's a good thing there are responsible agents working against them. In addition there's some interesting facts on electric vehicles. A very special electric car acts as role model for the "object of desire". It's not a new vehicle by Tesla Motors. Nevertheless it is real and, in October 2014, its developers set a new world record for driving purely electric for more than 726km without charging while climbing some 5000 meters in elevation.

Klappentext

For Rookies, Spying Is A Dangerous GameThe Board for Industrial Research and Development has been shaping major political decisions since 1929. You haven't heard of them because no-one has. They're efficient, discreet and professional. Working under the guise of a multi-faceted consultancy firm. But a new threat to their customers means all that could be about to change. After much deliberation, a decision has been made. A new technology is to be tested in an extensive field trial, and the electric car expedition WAVE offers the perfect cover. Naturally, BIRD has no desire to see it succeed. The usual countermeasures are taken and a team is dispatched. The mission is to be low-key, no more than a routine training exercise: an opportunity for BIRD to blood the next generation of field operatives. There is, it seems, little that can go wrong. But the new recruits are young and impulsive; quick to act when caution should be the name of the game. One bad decision leads to another, and soon the mission is spiralling out of control. What BIRD doesn't know is that there is another elite force on the scene, a crack unit sent by security agency DISECUPRO to protect the technology and its engineer. Suddenly, all eyes are on WAVE. Project Black Hungarian is the first book of its kind: Real events from the electric car rallye WAVE 2013 are woven into a suspense-packed spy story that also takes current global developments into account. A special delicacy, if you will, is that through the eyes of the spy characters, the reader can take a clandestine peek at how intelligence agencies gather information. Current developments in the field of electric cars have been taken into account. The story follows locations along the route of the rallye WAVE 2013. Selected participants offered to serve as role models for characters in the spy novel.
