description: Recruited by a Gypsy woman, trained by a master spy, Ron Lawrence, a young sailor, evolves into a prime Soviet agent. He loses the woman he loves and marries another who rescues him from depression. Oblivious to his covert activities, she unwittingly protects, but later suspects him. Soviet middlemen kill a double agent, using it as a warning to their sources, including Ron. Leaving the Navy, he's employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency and assigned to Europe. Rejoining the covert game, he supplies the Soviets with vital documents, and saves another agent from certain arrest. The Berlin Wall falls, the Cold War ends, and the KGB releases Ron from his obligation. A serendipitous but brief encounter with his first love, followed by his wife's unfortunate death, turns his life upside down. Ron suspects DIA and FBI agents are tracing his elusive shadow. What will be his next move? A classic story, bringing a different slant to the spy game, explores what it is like to be a 'field agent'.
