Mass market paperback. Zustand: Good. First Printing [Stated]. [12], 370, [18] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Slightly cocked. A retired Navy admiral with counterintelligence experience and a New York City operative with a passion for history become involved in the CIA's frantic search to find who leaked the plans for a lethal and highly clandestine operation Robert Littell (born January 8, 1935) is an American novelist and former journalist who resides in France. He specializes in spy novels that often concern the CIA and the Soviet Union. Littell was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is a 1956 graduate of Alfred University in western New York. He spent four years in the U.S. Navy and served at times as his ship's navigator, antisubmarine warfare officer, communications officer, and deck watch officer. Later Littell became a journalist and worked many years for Newsweek during the Cold War. He was a foreign correspondent for the magazine from 1965 to 1970. Derived from a Kirkus review: CIA analyst--collaterally descended from Nathan Hale--does battle with an Iranamok-style governmental cabal planning to vaporize a good-sized chunk of Tehran. Silas Sibley's vocation is intelligence-gathering. He runs an experimental CIA computer capable of passively bugging countless telephones, as well as their surrounding offices, and electronically analyzing the information. Sibley's avocation is history. He's working on a startling analysis of his very granduncle's decision to spy for his country. Sibley's electronic ear is supposed to be picking up only Soviet chatter, but he's been unable to resist tuning in on his loathsome CIA training classmate, a slimeball named Wanamaker--which is how he overhears Wanamaker's plans to smuggle enough uranium into Iran to result in a very convenient atomic blast. A horrified Sibley thinks his beloved CIA is behind the scheme, but it's actually a renegade operation run by someone awfully close to the President. Sibley's anonymous threats to expose the plot lead Wanamaker to hire Admiral Toothacher, a retired spymaster, to "walk back the cat"--spy talk meaning to discover the leak and plug it. When the Admiral gets too close, Sibley flees his New York hideaway and heads for New England--where he combines scholarly research with his private war and finds that his situation has become eerily like that of Nathan Hale. Littell mixes pieces of the Hale biography with the brainy and amusing present-day spychase; the distraction is not unpleasant. Artikel-Nr. 85862
