Reminiscences of a Reluctant Spy

About the Book

The biography is of Steven Kovacs, a Hungarian industrialist before WWII, who, in attempting to further his textile business, was pushed into being a spy for the government. He was given military status and had his own staff. The book documents not only his espionage activities but also his romantic assignations, of which there were many. He survived through several wives, many of whom were lost during the war, as well as hair-raising episodes of dirty dealings and espionage. He and his last wife escaped communism to hide in the outback of Australia, where he befriended many of the Aboriginal tribesmen and experienced the harsh realities of their way of life. He suffered dust storms and snakes, crocodile hunts and close friendships, and was an observer of the mysteries of our Australian outback at very close hand.

About the Author

Roma Ravn, a retired geologist, who shocked everyone by being the only and youngest girl to choose this profession, and which threw her into years of lonely isolation around Australia. It was primarily due to this isolation that she got into research of a variety of subjects which the medical profession knew little about, and also pyramid power, which no-one it seemed knew of, then onto the esoteric arts, yet she had no desire to use this knowledge she had gained and would calmly state she was accumulating it to have on hand when she was reincarnated next time and she would then appear wise. Born into a family of male dominance, she learned to live totally within herself until she married, a Dane (but definitely not a great one), this relationship failed and fortunately there were no children to hinder the separation. At 19 she wrote a book published under an assumed name, then a biography of an abused woman, then a cookbook - of which she is ashamed, as she cannot cook, and now this one, a biography of a Hungarian spy; it is a true account of his life, as dictated to his friend and neighbour - Roma.
