\"nd<\/a>Cyber Infidelity: The New Seduction,\u00a0<\/strong>By Dr Eve (Human & Rousseau)<\/p>\n

The Ashley Madison hacking drama that hit news headlines recently is still simmering, with millions concerned about how they will be affected by it.<\/p>\n

Infidelity is possibly as old as the first marriage \u2013 and it has always posed as the largest threat to a happy marriage or relationship.<\/p>\n

Today, however, with the digital world and social media playing such a large part in people\u2019s lives, a little understood new form of infidelity has arisen: cyber infidelity. Communication in secret through texts, chat sites, e-mails and dating sites \u2013 this is broadly what is defined as cyber infidelity.<\/p>\n

In this book, well-known sexologist, Dr Eve, explores in depth this latest form of deception. Based on her research using the database of the AshleyMadison.com dating site, she exposes the seduction and interrogates its impact on relationships today.<\/p>\n

\"nd<\/a>Agent 407,\u00a0<\/strong>By Olivia Forsyth (Jonathan Ball, R230)<\/p>\n

Olivia Forsyth was known by many names in the days of apartheid \u2013 Agent RS407, codename Lara, she was a lieutenant in the Security branch of the SAP; to the ANC she was comrade Helen Bronson, prisoner Thandeka.<\/p>\n

In 1986, Forsyth had allegedly infiltrated the ANC in Angola and was heading off to a training camp. Instead, she becomes prisoner Thandeka at, Quatro, an ANC prison in Angola.<\/p>\n

Forsyth got out of that prison \u2013 but the sensational newspaper headlines in the dying days of apartheid painted and extraordinary picture.<\/p>\n

Agent Olivia Forsyth had escaped from ANC captivity in Angola and when she returned to South Arica she was lauded by the government as a hero. In many media appearance, she claimed to have infiltrated the ANC and passed on vital information to the apartheid government.<\/p>\n

But is that what really happened? On the jacket cover Forsyth says: \u201cI owe it to many people and to myself, to set the record straight. There have been many versions of parts of the story in the press, many lies overlaid with truths and truths overlaid with lies\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

In the world of espionage it is clear nothing is as it appears. In this book, for the first time, Forsyth lays bare the story of her life in her own words.<\/p>\n
