Nothing is clear on the battlefront; friends be-come enemies, and enemies become friends. Tom must travel the whole of Europe to nd his target, but he will stop at nothing to bring justice to an unjust world.

In a bizarre turn of events, Henry Ellis strikes an unholy bargain with the infamous international terrorist and assassin, El S'Khah.

My spy classmate, Andy Anderson, has written a delicious follow-on to Greene's Our Man in Havana in his novel Sudden Recall. It is at the same time funny, fast-paced, current and full of wisdom. It may provoke a few flashes of indignation in Langley and on the Hill but John Hunt's outbursts are long overdue. -Fred Hitz, Professor of Law, University of Virginia, former Inspector General of the CIA and author of The Great Game: The Myth and Reality of Espionage. Andy Anderson was John Carol Kingsberry Hunt-one of the dangerously ambitious bad-boy field case-officers who bedded their mistresses in safe-houses and recruited high risk, dangerous spies without prior CIA headquarter's approval.We used to say his operational reporting reads like fiction-today it is the other way around. -Richard W. Carlson, US Ambassador (ret.) Former Director of the Voice of America Fact and fiction blur in this hall-of-mirrors espionage novel by CIA spy master Andy Anderson, who lays bare the awful truth about what went wrong-and is still going wrong-in America's war on terror. Sudden Recall is the inside scoop. -Rick Carroll, author of IZ Voice of The People, and former daily journalist with the San Francisco Chronicle
