John Gardner's The Secret Generations was acclaimed as one of the classic works of Cold War espionage fiction.
The Secret Houses is its explosive sequel.
Two families - the Railtons in Britain and the Farthings in America - are at the heart of a titanic political struggle, their fates intertwined in the secret world of Intelligence by blood, love, loyalty and betrayal.
The British Secret Intelligence Service and the American Office of Strategic Services are locked in a desperate struggle to destroy the war machine that threatens the future of the world - and once again the Railtons and the Farthings are drawn into the secret struggle.
Both families are intimately concerned in the fate of the Tarot resistance network, operated by Caspar Railton under the nose of the ruthless SS officer Hans-Dieter Klaubert, known as the Devil of Orléans. Caspar has recruited his nieces Caroline and Jo-Jo as undercover agents in France, and their disappearance coincided with the break-up of Tarot.
The truth about Tarot and the fate of Caroline and Jo-Jo is at the heart of this enthralling installment of an Intelligence saga that has been hailed on both sides of the Atlantic as a classic of espionage fiction.
‘Faultless construction and a good deal of narrative pace combine to make this a thoroughly enjoyable read’ – Books
‘A complex but sophisticated and rewarding sequel to The Secret Generations… a third Railton/Farthing saga seems assured and is welcome’ – Kirkus Reviews
‘An exciting spy story’ – Yorkshire Post
‘The suspense is well-portrayed both in the accounts of World War II and in the subsequent cold-war exploits’ – Booklist
Before coming an author of fiction in the early 1960’s John Gardner was variously a stage magician, a Royal Marine officer and a journalist. In all Gardner has fifty-four novels to his credit, including Maestro, which was the New York Times book of the year. He was also invited by Ian Fleming’s literary copyright holders to write a series of continuation James Bond novels, which proved to be so successful that instead of the contracted three books he went on to publish some fourteen titles, including Licence Renewed and Icebreaker. Having lived in the Republic of Ireland, the United States and the UK, John Gardner sadly died in August of 2007 having just completed his third novel in the Moriarty trilogy, Conan Doyle’s eponymous villain of the Sherlock Holmes series.

The Secret Houses The Secret Trilogy Book 2 edition by John Gardner Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I have been waiting for this series to arrive on kindle ever since my tattered paperback finally died. The characters I remembered were as involving, the plot as captivating. Now to catch up with Herbie
Good story, but hard to keep track of so many characters.
Love the trilogy. Is detailed and is for the true mystery, suspense lover.
Great book
Well written trade craft, plus building a wonderful full family character base. Does not sugar coat and the good guy don't always win. An interesting perspective on an interesting period in history and a very slanted but realistic view of cold and hot wars. It has been said that those who do not study history are forced to repeat it and adds that those who do study history are forced to stand by while those who did not study it repeat it.
Slow read.
Good Story but had a difficult time keeping track of the characters at first. Very surprising ending.
