The Spy Who Hated Me! follows James Spillaney, part spy, part detective, living life in a world where he doesn’t fit in, a sphere of insanity ushered in by the Roswell crash of 1947.
The 1950s was a world where science had suddenly exploded onto the scene with so many technological advancements it was hard to keep up. A world of controversy, deceit and lies, and that was only from the politicians. A world of valve phones and hydrogen-powered steam engines thundering around the globe on a super rail track system started by the Germans before the war and known as the International Train Transport System, or, the ITTS. And, a world of art deco edifices designed and built in the 1920s. But, underneath it all—underneath the shining metropolises scattered around the earth which were examples of man’s ingenuity and brilliance of mind—was an undercurrent of iniquity and murder controlled by a few, or, as James puts it, “The pond scum of the universe . . .” This is Spillaney’s world.
A dame, a crime, a secret organization and a mystery to solve sets James on a trip around the globe on the ITTS, pitting him against a crime boss of the likes he has never come across before.
