From the #1 New York Times-- and Wall Street Journal--bestselling
author comes the dramatic second adventure in the brand-new Clandestine
Operations series about the Cold War, the fledgling Central Intelligence
Agency--and a new breed of warrior.
In Top Secret, W.E.B. Griffin introduced a remarkable new cast of
heroes as they found themselves on the front lines of an entirely
different kind of war. Now, these men and women are going to find out
what they've really gotten themselves into.
James Cronley thought he had done well--he didn't know he'd done this
well.
His first successful mission for the about-to-be-official new Central
Intelligence Directorate has drawn all kinds of attention, some welcome,
some not. On the plus side, he's now a captain; promoted to Chief, DCI,
Europe; and in charge of a top secret spy operation. On the minus side,
a lot of people would like to know about that operation, including not
only the Soviets, but his own Pentagon, as well as a seething J. Edgar
Hoover.
Cronley knows that if just one thing goes wrong, he's likely to get
thrown to the wolves. As if that weren't enough pressure, complications
are springing up on all sides. He's discovered a surprising alliance
between the former German intelligence chief and, of all things, the
Mossad. A German family that Cronley never knew he had has suddenly, and
suspiciously, emerged. And he's due for a rendezvous with an undercover
agent against the Soviets known only as Seven K.
It's when he meets Seven K that he gets the real surprise.
