Product Information
Kabul, Afghanistan, 1979: CIA station chief Lucius Burling, an idealistic but flawed product of his nation's intelligence establishment, barely survives the assassination of the American ambassador. Burling's reaction to the murder, and his desire to understand its larger meaning, propel him on a journey of intrigue and betrayal that will reach its ultimate end in the streets of Shanghai, months after 9/11. A Chinese dissident physicist may (or may not) be planning to sell his country's nuclear secrets, and in his story Burling, now living quietly as consul, recognizes the fingerprints of a covert operation, one without the obvious sanction of the Agency. The dissident's escape draws the violent attention of the Chinese internal security service, and as Burling is drawn inexorably into their path, he must face the ghosts of his past misadventures and a present world of global trafficking, fragile alliances, and the human need for connection above all.Reminiscent of the best work of Graham Greene and John le Carr , Ministers of Fire extends the spy thriller into new historical, political, and emotional territory.

Reviews
"What separates Saunders' work from much of the espionage field comes in two rewarding areas; first, he creates fully fleshed characters, and second, his writing soars above the pedestrian, not only in his characterizations but also in his lucid descriptions of life in contemporary China and his intelligent take on the perils of clandestine efforts in a dangerous world where loyalty can be a liability." --Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch, "Mark Harril Saunders's first novel, Ministers of Fire is a brilliant, exciting and profound spy tale about, among other things, what it means to have faith… . (T)his is a classic CIA novel, thick with political and moral complications… . (A)n incredibly rich reading experience." (A Washington Post "notable work of fiction" from 2012.) -The Washington Post, " Ministers of Fire belongs on the bookshelf with John le Carré and Eric Ambler. . . . I enjoyed it enormously." -John Casey, National Book award-winning author of Spartina and Compass Rose, "I haven't read as good a prologue to a spy thriller all year. And given Mark Harril Saunders' aspirations, I couldn't have expected more.... The first full chapter carries us decades ahead to China where Burling, now in a more ambiguous operation than before, and several other characters, including the missing April's husband, posture and gesture against a Chinese crowd of agents, provocateurs, diplomats, dissidents and military. Saunders does all this quite deftly. More bullets fly, ideas bound against ideas, honor ducks for cover, and hope impales itself on the world of practical intrigue." -- Alan Cheuse, San Francisco Chronicle, Ministers of Fire is a beautifully written, restrained, and passionate work by a writer who knows the ins and outs and intrigues of the New World Order all too well. His prose is alive with insight, his characters are both recognizable from the news and internally realized. His novel has psychological depth, action, and suspense. It's a fine work and its author is a writer of great promise." — Robert Stone, author of Dog Soldiers and Damascus Gate In Mark Harril Saunders's gripping first novel, Ministers of Fire, tensions and ambiguities induce moral guilt and mortal dread…. Mr. Saunders makes his large cast of international characters come to life with quick strokes. Ministers of Fire deserves a place next to the works of such masters as Charles McCarry and Robert Stone." — The Wall Street Journal A Chinese puzzle thriller — intricate and richly layered." — Joseph Kanon, author of The Good German , Ministers of Fire belongs on the bookshelf with John le Carré and Eric Ambler.… I enjoyed it enormously." — John Casey, National Book award-winning author of Spartina and Compass Rose, What separates Saunders' work from much of the espionage field comes in two rewarding areas; first, he creates fully fleshed characters, and second, his writing soars above the pedestrian, not only in his characterizations but also in his lucid descriptions of life in contemporary China and his intelligent take on the perils of clandestine efforts in a dangerous world where loyalty can be a liability." — Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch, "What separates Saunders' work from much of the espionage field comes in two rewarding areas; first, he creates fully fleshed characters, and second, his writing soars above the pedestrian, not only in his characterizations but also in his lucid descriptions of life in contemporary China and his intelligent take on the perils of clandestine efforts in a dangerous world where loyalty can be a liability." -Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch, Another treat supplied by ( Ministers of Fire ) is a window into the lives of the operatives and families of the CIA.… Here on the page are the stressed and fed-up wives … the estranged children in private schools and the frayed marriages.… And at the end of the story, Saunders delivers us not the Hollywood shoot-out of good versus evil one of his characters desires but something more complex, grey and real." — Washington Independent Review of Books, "I haven't read as good a prologue to a spy thriller all year.

It is, to my mind, a disquieting journey into the complex world of post-9/11 political intrigue; and that intrigue is layers deep in this book, embedded in Mark Saunders's gorgeous handling of character, landscape, and language."--Martha Woodroof, "The Spark," WMRA -radio, Mark Harril Saunders's first novel, Ministers of Fire is a brilliant, exciting and profound spy tale about, among other things, what it means to have faith… .
