( ) Russian agent Colonel Sergei Likbanev of the NKGB who is turned and taken to Argentina. Now, Capt Cromley and the gang are trying to sneak his family out of Russia in late 1945. The book starts slow, with witty repartee between the characters and weak plot. Then, the plot picks up and the reader better know the characters. One historical faux pas, the author refers to the Air Force in 1945, when it was just one of the Army tribes/corps. The USAF was created with an act of Congress in 947. These new CIA troops thrive on violating the rules. As book #2 of 5, it's a fun read. It's difficult to read a single book in a series when so much of the time span in the series covers the same span. This one is not as smooth as the other books in Clandestine Operations but pretty soon the flow ought to even out. The principal character in this series is an enigma. At times he's brilliant, stupid, easy, hard, tender, dumb. How his character came to be the principal character is a typical swipe at all save a few heroes who are higher-ranking officers. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

" 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. "--
