His old school friend Roper has defected to the USSR to become one of the evil empire's great scientific minds. Hillier must bring Roper back to England or risk losing his fat retirement bonus. As thoughtful as it is funny, this morality tale of a Secret Service gone mad features sex, gluttony, violence, treachery, and religion. Anthony Burgess's cast of astonishing characters includes Roper's German prostitute wife; Miss Devi and her Tamil love treatise; and the large Mr. Theodorescu, international secret monger and lascivious gourmand. A rare combination of the deadly serious and the absurd, the lofty and the lusty, \u003cem\u003eTremor of Intent\u003c\/em\u003e will hold you in its thrall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBurgess, Anthony:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAnthony Burgess\u003c\/strong\u003e (1917-1993) is the author of many works, including \u003cem\u003eThe Wanting Seed\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNothing Like the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eRe Joyce\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the 100 best novels of both \u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e magazine and Modern Library and is on David Bowie's Book List.","brand":"W.
