One of the most exciting initiatives offered by Goldsboro Books are the brilliant subscriptions available. Goldsboro Premier Membership gives members exclusive early access to their expertly-chosen special editions books - hand-signed, dated and with beautiful Goldsboro Books edition covers as well as access to unique content, including in-depth interviews and behind-the-scenes insights that are only available to Premier members. The Goldsboro Books Sci-Fi and Fantasy Fellowship (GSFF) is a monthly service that offers exclusive signed limited editions of the best SFF fiction, delivered straight to your doorstep. Goldsboro Books wants to support sci-fi and fantasy authors in exciting new ways, and provide their Fellowship with exclusive titles and content in addition to the exclusive monthly offering. This subscription is currently fully subscribed but there is a waiting list available for anyone interested.
Both subscription services also offer members 15% off every other book that you purchase from Goldsboro Books.
It's the newest subscription I really want to draw your attention to today, though. Earlier this month, I was immensely grateful to have been sent the first book chosen for the Goldsboro Books Crime Collective. It goes without saying that I'm a huge lover of crime fiction but if I was forced to choose a favourite sub-genre (please don't make me!), spy thrillers would be right up there. So A Reluctant Spy by David Goodman is sure to be right up my street. I'm even more excited to dive in after reading the blurb;
Jamie Tulloch is a successful exec at a top tech company, a long way from the tough upbringing that drove him to rise so far and so quickly.
But he has a secret...since the age of 23, he's had a helping hand from the Legend Programme, a secret intelligence effort to prepare impenetrable backstories for undercover agents. Real people, living real lives, willing to hand over their identities for a few weeks in return for a helping hand with plum jobs, influence and access.
When his tap on the shoulder finally comes, it's swiftly followed by the thud of a body. Arriving at a French airport ready to hand over his identity, Jamie finds his primary contact dead, the agent who's supposed to step into his life AWOL and his options for escape non-existent.
Pitched into a deadly mission on hostile territory, Jamie must contend with a rogue Russian general, arms dealers, elite hackers, CIA tac-ops and the discovery of a brewing plan for war. Dangerously out of his depth, he must convince his sceptical mission handler he can do the job of a trained field agent while using his own life story as convincing cover.
Can Jamie play himself well enough to avoid being killed - and to avert a lethal global conflict?
