Remarkably credible...high rarity in espionage fiction, an original plot
... this absorbing novel, as accomplished as his later work. ... thoroughly engrossing tale... For lovers of spy thrillers, and for Allbeury's fans in particular, it offers an indispensable look backward at the way the world was not so long ago.
