Secret Identity
I'm a fan of Secret Identity theme and was wondering if anyone can recommend any books with Secret Identity.

Could you elaborate a little on what you mean by Secret Identity theme?

I would think that a big part of the fun of a secret identity type theme would be in not knowing there was a secret identity to be revealed.

Lois McMaster Bujold: The Vorkosigan Saga
On the backward planet of Barrayar, lord Vorkosigan is the obscure son of a famous father, given a cushy job as courier for Imperial Security because of nepotism. In the wider galaxy, the flamboyant admiral Naismith leads a mercenary company which excels in rescues and intelligence operations. Only a handful of people know that they are the same person, and that the Dendarii Mercenaries work for ImpSec. You can start with Miles Vorkosigan's story in "Warrior's Apprentice" (also published as part of the omnibus "Young Miles"). Or you can start with his parents' story ("Shards of Honor" + "Barrayar", also published as "Cordelia's Honor") -- it has a lot of secret missions and subterfuge, but only one section of outright secret identities. |

The Count of Monte Cristo is the first to come to mind.

There's also The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope, which is OK, and the great The Henchmen of Zenda by KJ Charles, which tells the story as it really happened
Prisoner of Zenda (from this review of Henchmen, which spoils Prisoner, so don't read it if that bothers you): Quote:

Try "The Great Impersonation"
Summary: a man is impersonating a man who is impersonating himself. You can't tell until the end which one is which. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gr...onation_(novel) |
