Reilly Ace of Spies -- Romance and Music

 Spy Business -- Is it Really all Romance and Music? 

Sidney George Reilly, hero of the miniseries "Reilly Ace of Spies" was a real person, born in 1874  as Sigmund Georgeievich Rosenblum (Shlomo ben Hersh Rozenblium) in Odessa. He was Britain's most famous spy.  It is believed that he was the inspiration for Ian Fleming's James Bond.  Reily Ace of Spies is a romantized version of the spy profession even including the theme music that introduces the series -- Dmitri Shostakovich 's 'Romance' from The Gadfly. The music and the story go so well together.  I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do.

If you are interested in the spy business yourself, as either an amateur or professional  you can get all your gear at To Be Safe And Sound.

Here is Part 6 of 8 of Episode 1 - An Affair With a  Married Woman.

Please let me know how you like the series. Leave me you comments, suggestion or questions. I would love to hear from you.

British Trash Reveals Spies

British Group Fears Trash Bin Spies

A new report in the UK warns that more than 2.6 million microchips have been placed in garbage bins to monitor what and how much people are throwing away in an effort to help reduce household waste. Isn't this going a bit too far? Britain already has loads of CCTV cameras planted around to help the police. What is next? Think about it? What has happened to the noble profession of spying? Would any of my favorite covert gents want to be involved in the contents of dust bins? Never! Unless they thought said garbage cans contained high security secrets.

You can get all your spy gear at To Be Safe And Sound.


Reilly, Ace of Spies certainly had better things to do with his time. Here we have Episode 1 part 3. Earthquake causes the railway line to stop service. Reilly needs to get away.

Leave me a comment and let me know how you like my pal, Reilly.

Spy Scandal In Dubai

Everyone loves a good spy story and the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh is as good as it gets. No fiction writer could have done it better or made it sound more unbelievable. Eleven operatives to kill just one man? James Bond would have done it all by his lonesome with the assistance of one or two of his special spy gear gadgets.

So they just accuse the Israelis as usual. Would the Mossad do such sloppy work? No way!

And those forged passports! Why is it such a big deal? One would think that no spy agency in the world ever even considered using them. Which agency does not use fake passports? They would probably go out of business without them.

Why has this story about the killing of a really big bad guy been such a big deal? Because it is an intriguing spy story and makes great copy.

You can make up your own spy story with lots spy gadgets such as spy cameras, listening devices and tracking systems.

As I had promised earlier, here is Part 2 of Episode 1 --Reilly Ace of Spies --"An Affair With a Married Woman". Next part will be included in my next blog post. I hope you enjoy spy stories as much as I do. Please leave me your comments, questions, etc. What is your favorite spy story?
