But right there at CSIRO, the agency spearheading the research, there’s a network of industrial espionage woven around the project. Project manager Sarah Pease, electronic engineer Marcus Hall, and their friends find themselves unwittingly caught in this web of conspiracy and espionage. As research into the Lamarr chip turns up startling results and unexpected discoveries, the scramble to take control of the resulting innovations heightens. In a race against time, the Australian government must protect its project from the vicious claws of clandestine forces while attempting to secure the lives of innocent citizens caught in the skirmish.

Chas Murrell’s Yearn to Fear is an Australian spy thriller brimming with political intrigue and nail biting situations. Murrell’s debut novel has all the workings of a typical tale of espionage. From conceited spymasters to accidental civilian detectives, lofty deceptions to astute deductions, the author throws in all the spy thriller ingredients but not without his distinct personal touch.

Author Chas Murrell spins a seemingly straightforward tale that quickly becomes anything but that – a very welcomed twist if you ask me. I mean, what’s a spy novel without some moments that will have you scratching your head? Don’t fret though, every move is well explained, and in the end, you’ll have answers to your questions.

The book is doused with several moments of tension that keep you dangling deliciously on the cusp of the truth. On the one hand, you want to scurry to the end of the page and find out what happens. On the other hand, you also want to prolong the suspense because it’s so exciting. I also love how an even-keeled plot suddenly switches to a story unfolding at neck-breaking speed.

I couldn’t miss the well-placed humor and banter too. The book includes delightful tongue-in-cheek moments and comments that add flavor to the story and provide much needed comic relief amidst the tension.

Reading this book is an excellent way to be entertained and learn a couple of fascinating facts about the human mind, tech, guns, and even whiskey. Somehow, our Aussie author was able to create a book with just the right dose of cool nerdy stuff to appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Yearn to Fear is the first part of a trilogy, and that revelation has me excited. If the sequels turn out to be half as good as this one, then the author’s getting a place on my list of “super-cool Australian authors to keep an eye on.” Inaugural entrant or not, getting on that list speaks volumes of his writing prowess. ...more

The novel picks up with Marcus developing the Marc1 a device which seems to send anyone to sleep within minutes of listening to it using 5G Wi-Fi receiver from CSIRO, with some unusual side effects. As the story unfolds around Marcus, not everything within the company he works for is honest as he believes!

I was pleasantly surprised in reading this story. The narrative shift focusing on Marcus and then Maddy, Helen and Bill when they are creating the device drew me in as a reader. Watching the development of the Marc1 was an exciting perspective on the spy genre, as the focus wasn't solely on spies completing a mission like with Alex Rider. The novel follows the development of a device to cure insomnia which I found fascinating.

The strongest points in this novel are the characterisation and presentation of the characters, particularly the female characters. I found the female characters really comical and refreshing and not typically portrayed as the damsel in distress. All the women in the novel contribute heavily to the plot because of their profession or their relationship to a male character. It was uplifting to read a story where women were intelligent figures, such as Helen and Maddy helping investigate the power source in Marc1 running tests and questioning everything. Furthermore, I love Sarah as a character. She was a very complex woman who dealt with many different situations allowing her to be a rounded figure from her conversations with Peter in his office to her romance with Marcus and her kidnapping.

The only thing which detracted from my overall enjoyment was the heavy exposition of the science behind the creation of the devices Marc1/2 and Sara1 and the Lamarr chip. The expository paragraphs do explain the science in a detailed manner. However, I think they were slightly too long for me and unnecessarily overcomplicated the device and left me a little confused. However, I appreciate when the book's character was sure what a character would say, and then the science jargon would be broken down further.

Overall, this book was a stimulating addition to the espionage genre, and I would highly recommend it!

An invention that can change the world; for better or for worse?

A microchip known as the Lamarr chip was invented several years ago by DST (Defence Science and Technology), ostensibly invented with a view to improving 5G communication. The chip is found to also emit a transmission which causes the recipient to fall asleep quickly and experience vivid dreams of yearning.

Marcus Hall, one of the main protagonists, brings the invention home to test on himself and then lets his brother, Bill and sister-in-law, Helen use it, as well as her sister, Maddy, who Marcus is in love with. They all have vivid sexual dreams about their loved ones and on looking at PET scan results the brain’s “love” center is seen to be fully functioning during these dreams.

I have to admit during the first few chapters of this book I found myself getting lost in some of the technical jargon. There were quite a few detailed explanations which I found distracting.

Marcus’s Project Manager, Sarah, is being blackmailed by her boss Peter Esser and forced to pay him each month for two years during the duration of the Lamarr project, in return for which she will also get a payout. Initially she was so eager to work there that she agreed to his terms, but is now having second thoughts. However it transpires that Peter is a paranoid narcissist who has been entrenched in industrial espionage for a foreign organization for years. He was originally contacted via his kung fu teacher, Sifu and believes himself to be working for the Chinese as a spy.

Henry Henderson is also a spy, working for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. He is working undercover with Marcus and Sarah as a lab assistant, but also providing covert security. We learned some of Henry’s back story in the prologue, so the fact that he is a spy does not come as a complete surprise. Sarah and her team members are all likeable characters and get along with one another very well.

Marcus and Henry test whether the device they have christened the ‘Marc1’ can cause fear in people in the same way it causes heightened love and yearning. If this is the case it makes the device a potential weapon and they realise they will need to be a lot more careful in terms of security for both the device and their personal safety and that of their loved ones.

Halfway through the narrative the pace of the action picks up dramatically as Sarah becomes the victim of a home invasion kicked off by Peter. Two men, Shane and an unnamed younger man, have come for her prototype of the invention, the ‘Sara1’. Meanwhile Henry is also on the way to her house to recover the device per order of his handler. Marcus is also planning to drop by and check on her as they have been worrying about her despondent attitude, apparently caused by interactions with her boss, Peter. Marcus gets there before Henry and sees Sarah tied to a chair through her curtains. Unfortunately one of her captors sees the light from Marcus’s phone display as he calls for help and the younger of the two assailants chases after Marcus. This turn of affairs is seen by Henry, who has just arrived. There follows an exciting, fast-paced action sequence. Marcus thinks Henry has shot at him and drops to knees in shock but Henry was actually aiming at the assailant to save Marcus. Poor Marcus is totally confused by what is going on by this point. The two bad guys make a run for it, setting Sarah’s house on fire as they go.

Like Marcus I found myself reeling from the shock of the unexpected death of a likeable and believable character, who I felt I was just getting to know.

The thrilling action of this episode is just the beginning of a story full of fast-paced drama and more than a few unexpected twists.

Marcus and Henry are taken to a hotel room with armed guards for Marcus’s protection. Maddy and Helen have been kidnapped by Shane, on behalf of the despicable Peter. Here a very technically detailed plan is hatched to locate the house at which the victims are being held. I will not give away any more of the plot and you will need to read the book in order to find out if the plan works out!
The author has quite a few surprises in store in the conclusion of the story and promises another thrilling story in the yet to be released follow up ‘Fear to Recall’. ...more

Yearn to Fear is the debut novel from Chas Murrell and what is very impressive about this book is that Chas has his own distinct style already.

It’s intriguing, it’s different and it’s well worth a read!

Yearn to Fear follows Marcus and Henry as they work at CSIRO on a new telecommunication chip. The work isn’t showing promising results but after Yearn to Fear is the debut novel from Chas Murrell and what is very impressive about this book is that Chas has his own distinct style already. Yearn to Fear is not a formulaic spy thriller, nor is it a dry police procedural. Rather it is a character driven espionage, spy thriller with weapons! It’s intriguing, it’s different and it’s well worth a read!

Yearn to Fear follows Marcus and Henry as they work at CSIRO on a new telecommunication chip. The work isn’t showing promising results but after one experiment they discover the unexpected power of the Lamarr chip. The chip can bring benefits to the users and the potential market is suddenly much bigger than the 5G companies. This is something that everyone wants to get their hands on and they will stop at nothing to get it!

Once we realise the power of the chip, the reader is plunged headlong into an exciting adventure where everyone we met in the first half of the book suddenly starts to show their true colours. When you have something every government would kill for, who can you trust? Each character starts to evolve; we see what drives them, we see more of their true purpose and that means things will get messy. Throw in a handful of heavies, some special ops and of the course the local police and you get a story you will not want to put down. I felt intrigued as to where this was going to go, who was really out to get who, and who may not be who they seem. There were definitely twists and surprises in this one that left me shocked.

I must say I found the first half of the story a little slow. The character building and the scientific explanation of what the Lamarr chip may or may not be doing felt carefully paced. However Murrell is teeing up the story for an explosive second half and what promises to be an interesting sequel. Not once as a reader did I feel overawed by the science, or the implications. The author moved the plot along at a rapid pace without befuddling the reader.

The interesting benefit of setting a story around a massive research institute like CSIRO is that you are allowed very intelligent characters. Leaps of logic that in other books would seem out of place, were cleverly explained by the author. The ‘good guys’ didn’t just have to rely on serendipity and bullets in this novel. Brains were allowed and the mental chess game with the enemy spy made for entertaining reading.

I would recommend Yearn to Fear to anyone looking for a different take on the spy thriller and looking to find a new go-to author. ...more
