INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
- “A riveting new voice in Magical Realism” Cambridge News.
- "Wacky and compelling. I read the three books one after another."
- “Raechel Sands cleverly blends noir, SF, lesbian fiction, satire, epic, and Dan Brown-style religious mystery."
- “A whirlwind rollercoaster of twists and double crosses.”
- “Unguessable endings! and not once in 3 novels did I guess the next twist...”
- “Intrigue, historical namesakes and bloody murder.”
- “Book 1 is the opening battle in this thought provoking and surprising saga.”
— Book 1 — two weeks before Helen comes to the aid of special agent Blanka, loyal intelligence officers at MI6 fight to protect the wife and daughters of Russian defector, Grigori Grinin, who is being forced—by a corrupt chief, and his protégée—to synthesise a perfume fragrance containing the world’s most terrifying weapon of mass destruction: Novichok Metapox.
— History bites back! "Murder is not unique to human beings – many animals kill – but we are unique in the lies we tell ourselves about it." — To the accompaniment of lyrics from Miley Cyrus, Metallica, R.E.M., Led Zeppelin, The Who and other rock 'n' roll greats, these edge-of-your-seat thrillers plunge you into a labyrinthine wonderland of spying and covert war, and deep inside the souls of a group of A.I.-enhanced women agents, on both sides of the fight, one of them a serial killer on the loose.
"At the heart of these tales is the much misunderstood love story of two lovers, from a legendary Bronze Age past, who are reincarnated into a contemporary conflict between MI6, the CIA, the KGB, and a fourth, unknown, force. An alternate reality version of the Western World, TGWF synthesizes new age tech & music, political intrigue & murder, with satire, angels, Auschwitz, and an Einsteinian apocalypse."

Críticas
"A chic literary debut by Irish astrologer Raechel Sands. CIA field agent Blanka (based at MI6 in London) fights to save the family of Russian nerve agent warfare expert Grigori Grinin, while rogue agent Felicity repeats the chilling mistakes of her past life." Soul & Spirit Magazine
"Really enjoyed reading this book. I couldn't put it down from start to finish and can't wait for the next one!" Black Cat, Liverpool UK
"Funny and satirical murder and espionage thriller rumoured to be by a real-life female James Bond 007 - still working for the CIA and MI6." Charles, New York City
"This is one of those books that I can picture as a movie; the writing is so descriptive and it gave me a really good image of the story in my head. It's a spy novel, but much more than just that. The best agent of the MI6, Blanka, is super tough, yet has a failing kidney and undergoes dialysis on a constant basis. What a badass! She's a very strong female. But I also enjoyed her quaint home with her pink teakettle. I suppose if you go around assassinating people for work it's nice to go home to a cute little cottage with a garden and your very own beehive!" Jen, Florida
"An extraordinary debut thriller, full of satire and historical detail." Greg, New Mexico
"FANTASTIC! Best read in a long time!!" JB, Georgia
"A riveting read, I was completely engrossed. The writing is so clever, the characters so real. Edgy stuff. Would highly recommend and I will without a doubt be following this author in future." A reader from London
