LASHBACK
Book 5 of the 75-Year Saga
Cold War, Hot Passions
by André Jute
The threads are gathering...
Harvey McQueen, the permanent outsider, the greatest American spy of all time, introduced to President Kennedy at the President's request as "the American James Bond", exposed Kim Philby and dug the Berlin Tunnel into the heart of Russia’s darkest secrets. But he almost landed in jail instead for tapping the CIA's own headquarters cable in the company of the intelligence mandarin Joshua Adams and Colonel Hillel Hirsch, the penniless Jewish refugee who became a legend in American intelligence. Their suspension causes the final breach between Harvey and Jennie when she refuses to accompany him to Berlin where he digs the famous Berlin Tunnel.
The change of generations comes even to patriots.
Harvey’s daughter Belinda makes a brilliant career at the State Department and marries Aron Hirsch (Hillel’s son) who is an Israeli anti-terrorist expert but the marriage heaves this way and that under their career stresses. Joshua Adams Jnr and Andrew Drexler are soldiers in dangerous jobs in Vietnam; the same war turns Conrad Drexler into an assassin and starts him on a career which will eventually as the founder of Air America make him the world’s largest transporter of drugs. The Rempton children have other temptations and do not turn out so well, bringing tragedy to their loving parents.
