As Anatole Broyard of the New York Times has so aptly said, If le Carr├(R) is the Henry James of suspense fiction, Buckley, if he chose, might be the Waugh. Bill Buckley has created a handsome American hero, Blackford Oakes, who happens to be an irreverent Yale-and-CIA-trained superspy.
The year is 1954. Stalin has died in Moscow and a deadly earnest power play nears its conclusion. Meanwhile, British and American commandos on a mission to liberate a Soviet satellite country have met a disastrous end. Jinxed. The communications system between English and American intelligence has been penetrated. Jinxed. There is a spook in their midst. High Jinx--higher still when the risk becomes one which Blacky alone must take.
