Om denne e-bog
The author of The Man Who Loved Mata Hari delivers a pulse-pounding thriller of a third world war—and the one man who can stop it.
Harry Rose, last of the great American spymasters, has stepped to the helm of the Berlin station in the wake of the Second World War. From deep within a pulverized Germany, he launches his own renegade operation to avert World War III. But there are some within his camp who claim that Harry has finally gone too far, playing the game of nations from the bottom of the deck. Here is an inside story of the nuclear arms race—the politics, the passion and the sheer lust for power. In short, here is a tale of elite Cold Warriors who lived and died by a dictum that reads: He who deploys a thermonuclear weapon is tantamount to God.
This is the novel that elevated Dan Sherman to that "exalted plateau occupied by John LeCarré and Graham Greene." This is also the novel that inspired a whole new wave of espionage thrillers that will live in spy fiction forever.
"The best spy novel Dan Sherman has ever written." —New York Daily News

Om forfatteren
Dan Sherman has written a handful of popular thrillers, starting with such near‐contemporary successes as The White Mandarin (1982, set in China from 1949 through the 1960s) and The Prince of Berlin (1983, starting at the end of World War II and continuing on into the 1960s) and then moving backward through history to the era of World War I ( The Man Who Loved Mata Hari, 1985) and then to the period of the American Revolution ( The Traitor, 1987), about the discovery of a mole within the highest command levels of George Washington's army of revolution. His other novels include The Mole, Riddle, Swann, and King Jaguar.
