Hello and welcome! If you stopped by looking for information and insights into all things espionage – from fact, fiction, and film to TV, soundtracks, the classic and the obscure – you've come to the right place!

Here at Wes Britton's SpyWise.net website, you'll find answers to questions like – just how much reality Is in spy movies and novels? What are the behind-the-scenes stories of films of the past and what's coming in the future? What are insiders saying about spy projects in and beyond the world of 007?

Here, you'll discover unique perspectives into every aspect of the real and fantastic from actors, film directors, producers, writers, and even musicians and comic-book publishers. Here are exclusive interviews with authors and creators of docu-dramas and spy comedies. Here are rare artifacts from the 1950s along with memories of former intelligence agents. Here are resources you can't find anywhere else and articles on everything from Old-Time Radio to weekly updates on the hottest news on collectibles and what's coming on DVD.

All this is brought to you by Dr. Wesley Britton, author of three non-fiction books for Praeger Publishers – the highly-acclaimed Spy Television (2004), Beyond Bond: Spies in Fiction and Film (2005), and Onscreen and Undercover: The Ultimate Book of Movie Espionage (2006) – as well as The Encyclopedia of TV Spies, coming in January 2009 from BearManor Media.
