Synopsis
A new edition of the spy classic by Robert Littell, New York Times bestselling master of the espionage thriller.
The black comedy follows a pawn in the American military complex whose decision to change sides might determine the outcome of the Cold War. An engineer who's spent most of his career studying ceramic nose cones for ballistic missiles, American scientist A.J. Lewinter is used to being a cog in the military-industrial complex--until, while at a conference in Tokyo, he rushes into the Russian Embassy offering to defect. Hard-edged US intelligence operative Leo Diamond sets out to determine what, if anything, Lewinter knows; on the Soviet side, KGB agent Yefgeny Pogodin must decipher whether this high-level defection is another ruse in a long-standing war. Neither global superpower knows what to expect from Lewinter, the wild card, but both sides know this: If he's telling the truth, his information could be the final turning point in the Cold War. A darkly funny spy thriller from one of the most brilliant voices of espionage fiction, The Defection of A.J. Lewinter is a shockingly prescient portrayal of international politics."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'American scientist A.J. Lewinter has been a cog in the machine for a long time. Stuck studying ceramic nose cones for ballistic missiles, he has spent most of his academic career being overlooked. When he rushes into the Russian Embassy offering to defect, however, he finds himself suddenly in the spotlight, caught in a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the Soviet Union and the United States. On the Soviet side, Moscow's most powerful are hoarding resources, leaving the people hungry. In the US, public support is waning as more and more Americans protest the war. The deadlock has to end, but nobody wants to be the first to pull the trigger. Lewinter's appearance is a wild card and neither the KGB nor the CIA knows what to expect from him, but both sides know this-if he's telling the truth, his information could be the turning point of the Cold War. A darkly funny spy thriller that cemented longtime navy officer and foreign correspondent Robert Littell as one of the most brilliant voices of espionage fiction, The Defection of A.J. Lewinter is a shockingly prescient portrayal of international politics'. Seller Inventory # 9781641297165
