eBook 정보
A Vietnam vet leads an Army Special Forces unit to rescue a compromised CIA agent in 1979 East Berlin in this spy thriller series debut.
When the CIA’s most valuable spy is compromised, the Agency realizes it does not have the capability to bring him to safety. If he cannot evade the dreaded East German security service, the result will be chaos and a cascade of failures throughout the Agency’s worldwide operations.
Master Sergeant Kim Becker lived through the hell of Vietnam as a member of the elite Studies and Operations Group. When he lost one of his best men in a pointless operation, he began to question his mission. Now, he is serving with an even more secretive Army Special Forces unit based in Berlin on the front line of the Cold War.
The CIA turns to Becker’s team of unconventional warfare specialists to pull their bacon out of the fire. Becker and his men must devise a plan to get him out by whatever means possible. It’s a race against time to prepare and execute the plan while, alone in East Berlin, the agent must avoid his nemesis and play for time inside the hostile secret service headquarters he has betrayed.
One question remains—is the man worth the risk?
“Fiction that reads like fact. Boots on the ground, real-life drama, rich with details only an insider could write . . . an outstanding book.” —John Stryker Meyer, MACV SOG veteran and author of Across The Fence: The Secret War in Vietnam
“This is espionage at its page-turning best, rich with history, operational intrigue, and drama. Can’t wait for the next one.” —Doug Stanton, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Horse Soldiers
“[A] solid series launch. . . . Stejskal, who served 35 years with the U.S. Army Special Forces and the CIA, convincingly describes the mission’s progress, and does a good job building suspense even if the outcome is never in doubt. Fans of realistic espionage fiction will look forward to the sequel.” —Publishers Weekly
