In the early 1980s, the mysterious A.W. Mykel came out of nowhere with a brilliantly inventive espionage thriller that became an international bestseller…astonishing readers with its daringly imaginative plot, larger-than-life characters, and outstanding action…becoming one of the most entertaining and beloved spy novels of the century.

THE WINDCHIME LEGACY

America has a secret: our espionage operations are run by Sentinel, an intelligent super computer that communicates with spies through an implant in their brains that massively expands their intellectual capabilities. But the power comes with a price. The implants are also explosives that Sentinel can ignite at its whim. Now one of Sentinel’s creators is defecting to Russia with plans to create a red Sentinel twin and must be stopped. Superspy Justin Chaple is assigned to the mission, pitting him against the KGB’s top assassins and, as a shocking conspiracy is revealed, the all-knowing, explosive killer hiding in his own skull.

“A smashing tale! This cleverly plotted and twisting first novel compares to the best of Robert Ludlum,” Publishers Weekly

“Bouncy, unbelievable thriller action,” Kirkus Reviews

“Move over, Robert Ludlum. A.W. Mykel has arrived,” Akron Beacon-Journal

A.W. Mykel wrote two more global bestsellers…The Salamandra Glass and The Luxus Conspiracy...and then disappeared as suddenly as he’d appeared.

Until Now.

Acclaim for THE WINDCHIME LEGACY:

"An intricate high-tech thriller...a solid and often exciting yarn," The Rap Sheet

"THE WINDCHIME LEGACY is recommended as a notable – and until this reissue, a regrettably hard to find – example of how the rivalries and anxieties of the world’s major governments provided the inspiration for much of the popular fiction of the time," Bookgasm

"This novel actually feels like six put together, making for a fun rollercoaster ride. The book splices the styles of Ian Fleming and Robert Ludlum and adds a dash of Michael Crichton. Don’t over think the over-the-top fun and just enjoy the wild ride." Writers Bone
