About this title

Synopsis

For ten years, a U.S. Navy sailor, code-name PYTHON, spies for the Soviets. All U.S. intelligence agencies continually fail at their attempts to discover the identities of PYTHON and his Soviet Controller. Then, a dead body and U.S. classified messages are found in a wrecked car at the bottom of a ravine near Madrid. The messages are traced to a U.S. Navy warship. The Defense Intelligence Agency and The Office of Naval Intelligence fail to uncover PYTHON's identity and activities aboard the warship. Dissatisfied and frustrated over the string of failures to find PYTHON, The Chief of Naval Operations permits ONI to implement a bold and unconventional program for recruiting ONI counterintelligence agents. ONI's Lieutenant Commander Brad Watson recruits a young sailor named Rigney Page to find PYTHON. At first, Rigney Page sees his mission as just one of life's adventures to satisfy self-serving needs. Then, he discovers another side of himself. During his search for PYTHON, he meets several women who teach him about commitment and tolerance and who elevate his sexual senses to higher levels.

Rigney's adventure takes him to a Navy Guided Missile Cruiser that is on patrol in the Mediterranean. He renews and old friendship, and he makes some sinister enemies. His search for PYTHON comes to a brutal confrontation in a quiet beach town in southern Italy.

About the Author

Floyd Peede spent 30 years as an officer in the United States Air Force, retiring in 1972 after having flown combat in three wars. In World War II he flew 35 missions in a B-17 mostly over Germany. On his 29th mission while over Berlin the plane caught fire and to avoid becoming a POW he flew the damaged plane Eastward. The fire was extinguished but due to high winds they had to keep on an easterly heading and let down over Poland. With about a 200 ft ceiling they let down and found a Russian forward landing base where they landed and spent a little over a week with the Russian pilots. Over a period of a month they flew back to England to finish their 35 missions before the war ended. In Strategic Air Command he flew B-50.s and B-47's in the Cold War and in the Vietnam War he flew A-26's. This flying was mostly over Laos and covered the Ho Chi Minh trail where he killed many trucks.
