He and Mellows go on the run pursued by a conglomerate of vicious acronyms consisting of CIA, RUC, IRA as well as Valentine's own organisation the MRU. Aided by a veteran smuggler Regan, they flee Ireland in Valentine's old trawler and head off into the North Sea. The real theme of the book is how friendships can survive when they are forged in the brutal world of death and treachery that forms the world of espionage and covert war. The story is told in first person who allows the cynicism of Valentine to flow and contrast abrasively with the brutality that he has seen in his life. The characters are well delineated and the skulduggery plausible. The conclusion is full of pyrotechnics and gives the tale a cathartic flourish after much brutality and violence The Sirius Crossing is a seriously good thriller from a writer who despite at times bordering on the literary certainly cooks up a real contemporary espionage brew. It grips from the

However, the fact that author speaks about infanticide and cannibalism with such ease, and without any sense of guilt tempts us to believe, that his offer is untrustworthy and insincere. Actually, an attempt to apply such an absurd proposal in practice was not originally considered by the author; it is more likely a hidden satire, which is intended to draw the attention of the authorities to what is happening in the country. Alongside with the exquisite use of satire and cynicism the reader can also trace the paradoxical nature of the Swift's work. The fact that an Englishman proposes barbarous prescriptions for the Irish ridicules the highly civilized society of England. By calculating the number of children, who can become a "delicacy" for the nobility and talking that child's skin would make "admirable gloves for ladies" and "summer boots for fine gentlemen", Swift indirectly comes to the severe criticism of the ruling class

Heroes need some admirable qualities, so that we want to be like them. W e want to experience the self-confidence of Katharine Hepburn, the elegance of Fred Astaire, the wit of Cary Grant, the sexiness of M a r i l y n Monroe. H e r o e s s h o u l d have universal qualities, emotions, and motivations that everyone has experienced at one time or another: revenge, anger, lust, competition, territoriality, patriotism, idealism, cynicism, or despair. But Heroes must also be unique human beings, rather than stereotypical creatures or tin gods without flaws 30 HERO or unpredictability. Like any effective work of art they need both universality and originality. Nobody wants to see a movie or read a story about abstract qualities in human form. W e want stories about real people. A real character, like a real person, is

Emily Hahn, in her China to Me, said bluntly that she did not, calling him "an American with a loud manner of talking." His original enterprise, which had enabled him to create MI-8 and the Black Chamber, had turned to opportunism with the publication of his book, and then had soured to cynicism under the widespread disgust that followed that violation of confidence, and under the realization that he had traded his soul for a few thousand dollars.
