The Madmen of Benghazi, designed for the first time in the U.S., is a gripping, racy, ripped-from-the-headlines espionage thriller set in volatile post-Qaddafi Libya. Gérard de Villiers (1918-2013) put in his five-decade career cultivating connections in the world of international intelligence, which allowed him to assume geopolitical occurrences before they happened - also to masterfully mix fiction with an insider's knowledge of international affairs. Shared from 1964 until his fatality in 2013, his best-selling SAS group of 200 spy novels, starring Malko Linge, was long considered France's answer to Ian Fleming, with Malko as his James Connection. Its hero, Malko Linge, an Austrian aristocrat, spends his time freelancing for the CIA to be able to maintain his ancestral home and support his playboy lifestyle. When terrorists make an effort to blast down a aircraft holding Libyan prince Ibrahim al-Senussi, it is clear that someone desires him dead. But the CIA has its storyline for the prince: Now that Qaddafi has been overthrown, al-Senussi is their finest bet to create a constitutional monarchy and stem the Islamist tide in Libya. The CIA, which needs Malko around he needs them, directs the Austrian aristocrat to Cairo to find out more on al-Senussi's programs by seducing his associate, a ravishing British model. This objective is enormously attractive, but also shows enormously dangerous, as the same madman of God who is trying to wipe out al-Senussi also needs purpose at Malko.
