Book Description

High Caliber Talent is the story of two friends, CIA intelligence analyst Jack McGill, and Anton Rykov, the KGB’s top spy in the United States. Downsized out of their jobs at the end of the Cold War, Jack and Anton open McGill Associates, a consulting and executive recruiting company, which serves as a front for the real business they’re in: finding freelance espionage work for other unemployed intelligence operatives. When business begins to boom, not everyone is happy for McGill Associates. Particularly unhappy is Steve Saugerties, a former colleague of Jack’s and now a high-ranking official at CIA who, operating without any official sanction, has some sinister plans of his own for McGill Associates’ private espionage operations. And, if Jack and Anton aren’t amenable to his proposal of a business partnership, then Steve’s future plans for McGill Associates don’t necessarily include Jack and Anton.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Best first novel since The Hunt for the Red October!.......2003-01-12

This looks to be the first novel from a new author with a great future. Out of work spies, thanks to the end of the cold war, get together and form a professional services spy for hire agency. The action is fast paced, the plot twists and turns and the book seems far too short. The author knows the Princeton area well, and most of the action takes place in that locale-anyone who knows the area will appreciate the local flavor. Jack, Anton and Lisa are the main characters- sharply drawn, and believable.
The book begins and ends with a surprise, and the reader is more than satisfied with everything. Except having to wait for the sequel!
