The life of a secret agent in the cinema is chic cars, tuxedos and brilliant witticisms that he lets go, dealing with another enemy with a cool wristwatch. Forget everything you've seen on screen! In the book of Red Riley, a former employee of the British secret service MI-6, everything is serious. The methods described in it are tested in practice, and all vital espionage techniques are tested in the field. Do not think that maintaining physical fitness comes down to pumping muscles, push-ups on one finger, sitting for many hours in the lotus position or lifting weights. No, we are talking about health and wellness in general. You are required to think quickly, be able to relax and maintain a sense of humor. Your teeth, vision and hearing should be in perfect order. You learn how to get away from surveillance, create fake identities, repel a direct attack, survive in a hostile environment, and more. It will not do without genuine spy stories that serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Hollywood. After reading this book, you will learn self-discipline, adaptability and will be able to meet any vicissitudes of fate fully armed. Look around you. Pay attention to what signs distinguish people from the crowd, and try not to have them. The only way to become a successful secret agent is to dress discreetly, speak quietly, or it is better to keep quiet altogether, be constantly on the alert and maintain a "gray" image all the time. Your ultimate goal is to blend in with the crowd enough to become almost invisible.
