He is back after five long years' absence, the insubordinate, decent, bespectacled English spy who fought, fumbled, outwitted, and survived his outrageous way through the best-selling Horse Under Water, Funeral in Berlin, and the rest of those marvelous, celebrated Len Deighton spy thrillers. Once again he finds himself a reluctant habitue of that nightmare world of espionage where a triple cross is as commonplace and regular as the daily paper at the breakfast table. Nothing's changed!
Cocky, sardonic Charles Schlegel the third, Colonel U.S. Marine Corps Air Wing (retired), with the iron handshake and a flat refusal to let anything stand in his way, is brought in to run London's Strategic War Game Studies Centre, under a joint Anglo-American naval warfare committee, where military computers match NATO defense strategies against theoretical Russian strike threats. He appoints Deighton's spy hero his personal assistant...
