This premium quality large print edition includes the complete text of James Fenimore Cooper's classic tale of the conflicts and complications brought by divided loyalties during the American Revolution in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition.

Page headers and proper placement of Cooper's original footnotes exemplify the attention to detail given this volume. With the publication of The Spy in 1821, James Fenimore Cooper became an international figure and the first authentic American novelist, free of the forms and conventions of the British fiction of the day. In a writing career spanning thirty years, over thirty novels and an extensive body of lesser works, with The Leatherstocking Tales he became the first great interpreter of the American experience, chronicling the adventures of the indomitable Natty Bumppo, known variously as "Hawkeye," "Deerslayer," "Pathfinder," "Leatherstocking" and other names, from the colonial Indian wars through the early expansion into the vast western plains. Cooper wrote The Spy to preserve the memory and meaning of the American Revolution and in response to allegations of venality on the part of the men who captured Benedict Arnold's co-conspirator, Major John Andre. The novel centers on Harvey Birch, a man suspected of being a spy for the British. Only General George Washington knows who Birch really is. The Spy is Cooper's first great historical novel, and, indeed the first and original "Great American Novel". But it also serves as a parable of the American experience and a timeless reminder that a society's survival depends on judging people by their actions, not their class or reputations. Set in upstate New York on a comfortable estate, the Wharton family suddenly finds that the Revolutionary War has arrived in their parlor. Like many families during the Revolution, the Whartons ultimately face the need to decide where they stand as a complicated set of relationships among family members with both Patriot and Loyalist sentiments begin to unravel with a secret visit from Wharton's son, Henry, a British officer who has crossed behind American lines in disguise. American troops arrive unexpectedly, Henry is discovered and arrested as a spy, and held in the custody of Major Dunwoodie,who is Henry's sister's fiancé and Henry's own childhood friend. The real spy, of course, is still on the loose. A tale of love and intrigue in a time of war, "The Spy" vividly recreates the divided loyalties and patriotic fervor on both sides of the American Revolution, and the sacrifices people must sometimes make for their beliefs and the people they care most about.
The Spy: Large print by James Fenimore Cooper The writer, while he knew how much of what he had done was purely accidental, felt the reproach to be one that, in a measure, was just. As the only atonement in his power, he determined to inflict a second book, whose subject should admit of no cavil, not only on the world, but on himself. He chose patriotism for his theme; and to those who read this introduction and the book itself, it is scarcely necessary to add, that he took the hero of the anecdote just related as the best illustration of his subject.

Lovely, high born Willa Trent was an orphan, raised by a local, somewhat odd family in the country, who want nothing but the best for their girl. So when she drags the unconscious man she accidentally hit with a slingshot home, they arrange a hasty marriage and pack the couple off with best wishes. Armed with a groggy husband and a new future, Willa's pie-eyed optimism has no limits...until she discovers the secret, dangerous world of Nathaniel Stonewell, Earl of Reardon, a.k.a. "Lord Treason." Though Nathaniel is reviled by most of England for his devious plot against the Crown, he is, in reality, a member of an elite cadre of secret royal defenders on a daring undercover mission. He must keep his secrets at all cost, especially from Willa. And yet, he is enchanted...though he stubbornly refuses to surrender to his passion. Far better, he tells himself, to turn his back on love than risk everything for it. Luckily, his bride has other plans...

The terrorist threat has changed. The consequences haven't. When her fiancé, a CIA operative accused of treason, is killed overseas, intelligence analyst Maggie Jenkins smells cover-up and sets out to clear his name. Maggie disobeys direct orders and travels to Tbilisi, Georgia, to follow a trail littered with secrets and lies, corruption and deceit, risking her own life to expose the terrorist threat at the intersection where the Russian Mafia, Chechen rebels, Al Qaeda and ... US government officials meet. From the halls of power in Washington, D.C. to the political chaos of the former Soviet Union, Maggie must confront players from the intelligence, political, and criminal worlds who will do anything to stop her. How far will Maggie go to uncover the truth? "Susan Ouellette has written a well-crafted page-turner that benefits not only from her imagination and way with words -- but from her experience. She has walked the halls of the House Intelligence Committee and the CIA and knows those institutions as very few novelists do." - Dr. Mark M. Lowenthal, Former CIA Assistant Director for Analysis; Former Staff Director, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

If you know The Thirty-Nine Steps from the movie version, you don't know the real story... Published in 1915, The Thirty-Nine Steps is a classic espionage thriller, complete with secret codes, ruthless foreign agents, unexpected coincidences and chance encounters, in which "ordinary guy" Richard Hannay finds himself embroiled in an effort to thwart a network of German spies on the eve of WWI. The first in a series of novels featuring Hannay, who would soon be pitted against the Turks during World War I in "Greenmantle" (1916) and gangsters in subsequent tales, Alfred Hitchcock directed a well-known film adaptation in 1935, but was forced by Britain's political stance at the time to scrub all references to Germany, substantially altering the original story.
