Maybe it is Real

This is one of my favorites of the cold war fictions. I loved the location descriptions and choices; you start in North American and just keep going east. This is a smart, fun book that gives the reader a great story and a lot of interesting historical facts about Russia. This really is a book that has two - three very well developed and written plot twists that makes you stay on your toes. I have reread the book and it is something how well he places the road signs. The trade craft details are very intersting.

Gripping spy novel written by retired CIA agent.

Set against an exotic African backdrop, this novel transports the reader to the real-life world of the CIA's clandestine services. No one can write spy novels better than a man that has actually worked in the shadows of the Cold War. David Doyle will keep you up at night with this page-turning masterpiece. This is a must-read for any spy novel enthusiast.

Fascinating peek into the CIA

Written by an ex CIA agent this novel is packed with fascinating inside information. (It even includes a glossary of spy terms that you can sprinkle into cocktail party conversation.)It is a well written quick read. I thought that it was a very enjoyable novel
