Time doesn't forget. And neither does the Mirror. The second installment in the acclaimed Bureau Archives Trilogy pushes the boundaries of identity, loyalty, and reality itself.
It's 1948. Max Calder thought he'd escaped the Mirror's grip. But when an encrypted MI6 radio message pulls him from the shadows, he finds himself trapped in a deeper conspiracy involving Kim Philby - one that spans timelines, and versions of himself he can no longer remember... or trust.
Partnered once again with Alicia Rayes, Calder races from Lisbon to London to Edinburgh to uncover Project Oracle, a secret MI6 experiment buried at a black site called ANGUS beneath a loch at Invershiel. There, an unstable Mirror still hums. And waiting for him is Variant 6F... a doppelgänger who might be the last warning before history fractures for good. As enemies close in and memories slip through the cracks, Calder must face the truth: the timeline isn't broken - it's being rewritten.
Angus Sliders is a taut, cerebral spy-fi thriller steeped in Cold War tension, noir grit, and mind-bending science fiction.
Review :
Angus Sliders drops you straight into a foggy world of spies, memory loss, and shadowy doubles. What follows is a chain of chases, coded messages, old flames returning at the wrong time, and a slow unravelling of Max's own mind. I caught myself getting wrapped up in the atmosphere. The writing has this rich, moody quality and I had a real fondness for how the book blends real historical detail with fiction. The emotional core of the book worked for me more than I expected. Max's slipping memory is more than a plot device. Every time he forgot something important, I felt a small sting as if the loss were personal. If you like spy stories that mix real history with strange tech, this one will be a great fit. Readers who want both grit and style in the same breath will probably have as much fun with it as I did. Overall, I do think this is a gripping and memorable read.

"An excellent follow on from Furniture Sliders which set the scene for more action and story twists. More unexpected revelations, more challenges and the Mirror causing even more trouble as its influence grows. A gripping read!"

"This book is nothing short of a second masterpiece. I thought Calder's Journey was over, and without him, what would the second book be about? To my surprise, this book follows the emotional depth and narrative power of the first book. The best part is that it's a seamless, authentic, and deeply satisfying continuation of the story covered in the first book. It never feels forced or far-fetched. The descriptions are so good to the point that I felt I was walking, sitting, or driving right alongside the characters. This shows just how powerful the book is. I'm looking forward to another unforgettable rush from book 3."
