About this ebook
A British spy must rescue a scientist from Chinese-occupied Tibet in this Cold War thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed.
"Loaded with action and adventure; it is Higgins at his best." — Booklist
1962. The Cold War is on. The key to the West beating the Soviets to the moon is scientist Dr. Karl Hoffner, living under house arrest in Chinese-controlled Tibet.
In 1959, British Intelligence agent Paul Chavasse helped the Dalai Lama escape Tibet. Now his government has persuaded him to go back for Hoffner. Chavasse knows the language and the land. He also knows how important it is to get the scientist back alive. . .
But trouble can be waiting for him anywhere. Perhaps on the illegal flight through the Himalayas or among the Chinese occupiers or the distrustful natives. Maybe with Tibetan freedom fighters or a trigger-happy army. Or at the hands of a beautiful woman . . .
When the fate of the world hangs in the balance, a spy can never be too careful.
