Paperback. Etat : Good. FOR RELEASE IN JANUARY 2013: Victor Robert Lee s provocative debut spy thriller introduces a protagonist to rival the most memorable espionage heroes. Cono is a startling young man of mixed and haunting heritage who has been gifted or cursed with a hyper-fast neurological system. An orphan and a loner, he acts as a freelance spy, happy to use his strange talents in the service of dubious organizations and governments until, in Kazakhstan, on a personal mission to rescue a former lover, he is sucked into a deadly maelstrom of betrayal that forces him to question all notions of friendship and allegiance. Relevant to our times, PERFORMANCE ANOMALIES explores the expansion of Beijing s imperial reach into Central Asia, and the takeover of Kazakhstan. Cono s main adversary is a brutal Beijing agent whose personality has been twisted by the Cultural Revolution s devastation of his family. Victor Robert Lee s topical depiction of a Beijing government pursuing territorial expansion resonates with the current tensions over China s claims on the entire South China Sea. PERFORMANCE ANOMALIES travels from Brazil and Stanford to Almaty and the Tian Shan mountains, covering a jarring emotional landscape along the way. The fate of an oil-rich nation the size of Western Europe is at stake. So, too, is a hidden stockpile of weapons-grade uranium. The Beijing agent craves Cono's suffering; a jihadi cell wants him dead. As the human cost of his mission escalates, Cono realizes that he must turn his strange talents toward higher deeds in the future if by his guile he can survive the explosive present.…

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition. Limited to 500 Copies. Softcover in Dust Jacket. 102 Plates. Also many small illustrations. The front cover of the book has toning at the top and bottom margins, there is also some tanning at the front side of the spine and on the spine. The spine has some vertical creasing. The middle page edge is very clean. The top page edge has a dozen or so small amber spots (not affecting the actual pages). The bottom page edge has just a few of these amber spots, one of which corresponds to some spotting off the bottom edge of two facing pages in the book. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. With the exception of the aforementioned two pages, the pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through I'm not finding any instances of soiling. That's the case as well with the long unnumbered section of plates that brings the book to a close. These plates are on semi-glossy paper. The pages are also in very good condition. I'm not seeing any conspicuous creasing on any of the text pages, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. In the Plate section it looks like something very thin pressed down against a few pages leaving a crease off the top edge of two of them and a very light impression of a crease off two others. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's in solid shape. It has some light toning at its margins and on the spine. It has one small, thin vertical crease off the top edge of its spine. There are no tears on the jacket. The flaps are in good shape, very clean, just a little toning off the front flap's top edge and several thin, light creases off the rear flap's bottom corner.…
