Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st ed. Pages age toned with light wrinkling of a few pages else a fine copy in un-clipped dust jacket. SIGNED by Sebastian at the title page ."Sebastian sustains what might have seemed an endangered genre, abetted by a last-minute postponement of publication date that allowed him to update the book in light of the political changes in Eastern Europe. The result is an extraordinarily timely and engaging story. James Tristram is an aging secret operative constructed on the George Smiley model--soft of body but sharp of mind. Sent by English spymaster Cornish to aid an uprising against the Polish government and its Russian sponsors, Tristram discovers the mission is a ploy. The real plot, concocted by Russian Stalinists with the aid of a long-time mole in the British secret service, aims to discredit the government of the Gorbachev-like general secretary of the Russian Communist Party. Appalled, Tristram sets out on a lonely effort to prevent the destruction of the Polish underground and the discrediting of the reformers." --PW. Signed by Author. Book. Seller Inventory # 019111

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Jerry Bauer (Author photograph) and George Smith ( (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. [6], 281, [1] pages. DJ has slight wear and edge tear. Signed by the author on the title page. Illustrated endpapers. British agent James Tristram sets out to stop counterspies in England and Russia who are bent on toppling the government of the Soviet Union's progressive General Secretary, earning some Russian and English enemies of his own in the interim. Tim Sebastian (born 13 March 1952) is an English television journalist and novelist. He is the moderator of Conflict Zone and New Arab Debates on Deutsche Welle. He previously worked for the BBC, where he hosted Doha Debates and was the first presenter of HARDtalk. Sebastian also presented Bloomberg TV's The Outsider, an India-focused debating program. He won the Richard Dimbleby Award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 1981, and was twice designated Royal Television Society Interviewer of the Year in the United Kingdom â" once in 2000 and again in 2001. Sebastian began his journalism career at Reuters in 1974, moving to the BBC as foreign correspondent in Warsaw in 1979. He became BBC's Europe correspondent in 1982. At that time in 1983 in Wroc aw, during Martial law in Poland, Tim Sebastian interviewed Kornel Morawiecki, the leader of the Polish anti-Soviet and anti-communist underground organization Fighting Solidarity, hiding from the Polish security service. Between 1984 and 1985 (until his expulsion from the USSR in 1985) he was BBC's correspondent for Moscow in 1984 and then for Washington from 1986 to 1989. An espionage thriller full of intrigue and suspense, from an expert on the period, perfect. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: How to write a Cold War spy thriller in these days of perestroika? Sebastian sustains what might have seemed an endangered genre. The result is an extraordinarily timely and engaging story. James Tristram is an aging secret operative constructed on the George Smiley model. Sent by English spymaster Cornish to aid an uprising against the Polish government and its Russian sponsors, Tristram discovers the mission is a ploy. The real plot, concocted by Russian Stalinists with the aid of a long-time mole in the British secret service, aims to discredit the government of the Gorbachev-like general secretary of the Russian Communist Party. Appalled, Tristram sets out on a lonely effort to prevent the destruction of the Polish underground and the discrediting of the reformers. Sebastian, a BBC correspondent, delivers a gripping, literate thriller with the punch of a headline and the texture of real life. Seller Inventory # 87699
