Betrayal

Just entering a third decade of post-war relative 'peace', the atmosphere is nevertheless no less fraught with Cold War tension between the West and the Soviet Union with the much feared moment of nuclear fission between the two almighty powers growing ominously more imminent. Apart from liaison duties between US Naval Analysis Group for combined US/NATO Operations and the United States Indo-Pacific Command, Military Intelligence Officer, Major Frank Falzoni also trawls the shadowy backstreets of Europe's cities that are forever festering with undercurrents of secrets, double secrets and betrayal, in order to make periodic contact with a Russian mole on delegation leave in Europe. However, escalation of aggression between American Armed Forces and Vietnamese Communist Forces, aided by China and the Soviet Union, sees the Major being assigned the urgent mission to personally infiltrate the realms of the Asian war scene, rife with its battlefield dangers, as well as dangers of the jungle, in order to seek out and bring back strategic information vital to US Air Force Bomber Command. With KGB tentacles, unseen but forever present everywhere, this makes the Major's task a perilously tight-rope one of do or die, serving his flag, or having that triangularly-folded one presented at his military funeral.
