Any other espionage enthusiasts out there?

Wondering how many of you (us) are writing screenplays involving espionage or action/thriller scripts that include the CIA? Love to know what your favorite books, movies, and or actors are. Love to connect. Thanks.

I tried to use Moon T7, but my Class 10 card sucks! I'm stuck with Drewnet T9 for now, which still looks pretty nice.
