Kaleidoscope does for the CIA what The Sopranos did for the mob." MICHAEL APTED, Academy Award nominated director of COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER & THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
For the Kingstons, there is no refuge from the past—no border between family and betrayal, no line between history and blood.
From Michael Frost Beckner—the award-winning novelist and screenwriter of Spy Game, the classic Robert Redford/Brad Pitt thriller— Kaleidoscope expands the Spy Game universe with a multi-part saga of three generations of Kingstons—a CIA family trapped in the web of the Agency's darkest secret.
"Nobody captures espionage quite like Beckner." - I.S. BERRY, Edgar Award winning Author of THE PEACOCK AND THE SPARROW, A New Yorker & NPR Best Book of the Year
PART ONE: 4TH OF JULY
There are other families, neither happy nor mindfully sad; sanctioned to deception, these families kindle their lives with the flint of authorized deceit.
Relentlessly.
Equally.
And to completion.
"Nobody vanishes," Silas Kingston insists, but one Kingston has...
A vanishing or an escape? Conspiracy, or treason? When clandestine officer Michael Kingston goes missing in Turkey, the secrets and lies of three generations of a CIA family—spies, spouses, lovers, children—collide with the most fiercely protected operation within the CIA.
KALEIDOSCOPE
Since the 20th century, energy has been the key to every nation’s power. The root of every conflict. Today, global demand outstrips resources. As directed by Silas Kingston, KALEIDOSCOPE is the hidden hand within the CIA manipulating fuel dominance—its possession, production, distribution. Older than the Agency itself, KALEIDOSCOPE overscores all intelligence operations with deadly efficiency.
A saga of espionage, legacy, and the agonies of love without truth, Beckner's Kaleidoscope fuses Faulkner, Arthurian myth, and the merciless mechanics of power into a spy epic unlike any other.

In 1989, Michael Frost Beckner's script for Sniper launched a military-thriller franchise now in production on its ninth sequel. Three consecutive record-breaking spec script sales and three films later, Tony Scott directed Beckner's original screenplay Spy Game. An international blockbuster that paired Robert Redford and Brad Pitt as CIA partners and rivals, it is now a classic in the espionage genre. Branching into television with his CIA-based drama The Agency for CBS, Beckner's pilot predicted Osama bin Laden's terror attack and the War on Terror four months before 9/11. In that series alone, Beckner would go on to predictively dramatize three more international terror events. Having penned more than twenty-five pilots for network and cable television, miniseries and docudramas, and dozens of original motion picture screenplays, adaptations, and rewrites, he is a Hollywood institution. As a commentator on American espionage, Beckner has appeared on CNN, Fox News, CBS News, TF1 in France, and as a featured guest of Bill Maher on HBO. Now, in conjunction with the twentieth anniversary of Spy Game, Beckner returns to the world of Nathan Muir and Tom Bishop with the release of his trilogy of Spy Game novels: Muir's Gambit, Bishop's Endgame, and Aiken in Check.
