Evan Tanner ran head-first into a piece of shrapnel in Korea,
and now he can't sleep. Ever. Which can be an asset for a dedicated
linguist, term paper forger, thief, lost cause enthusiast . . .
"Spy."
Tanner takes on jobs for a covert intelligence organization so
secret that even those who work for it have no idea who they're
working for. Now his nameless supervisor wants him to sneak behind
the Iron Curtain, storm an impregnable castle in Prague ("alone!"),
and rescue an old Slovak who's got a pressing date with a hangman's
noose.
The trouble is the prisoner is an unrepentant Nazi who makes
Goering look like Mister Rogers. Tanner hates Nazis. If he's caught
(which is likely) the U.S. will deny that they know him. And Tanner
will be executed. After being tortured, no doubt. All in all, there
are many excellent reasons why Tanner should refuse this
assignment.
So, naturally, he says yes.
