India, her heads of state increasingly under the influence of the Soviet Union, is on the verge of building and detonating her first nuclear bomb.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor Pakistan, the idea is intolerable. The country has fought three wars with India since achieving independence in 1947-a fourth seems preferable to a nuclear enemy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAkbar Chaudry, the head of Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence operations in India, wants a seasoned operative to monitor India's nuclear program. Instead, he gets Asaf Ali Khan, an engineering professor more suited to academic research than high-stakes espionage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChaudry privately hopes Khan will screw up, forcing the ISI to replace him with a real spy. In the meantime, he assigns the professor to handle his recruits in the nuclear program-a disgruntled engineer and an idealistic but misguided secretary.\u003c\/p\u003e Donovan Griffin knows nothing of this. He's a sales representative for an American firm operating in India. His only concerns are meeting his quotas and hoping his wife can come to terms with life in a third-world country. A chance meeting is about to plunge him into a rapidly evolving game of spy and counterspy, with the political stability of the Asian subcontinent at risk.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Glenn has spent thirty-five years in international business, living overseas with his family for almost a decade.
