The Soviet Union's Council of Ministers is well aware that for all their military clout, their economy is that of a Third World nation. They recruit Colonel Nikolai Kalinin -- weary, disillusioned, but a still loyal KGB operative -- to infiltrate a multinational research corporation based in Berlin and steal the blueprint of a revolutionary new computer chip. Given the assignment of preventing the chip from falling into the wrong hands is Russ Tobin, a former Berlin Station Chief and now a senior CIA intelligence analyst, whose lethal rivalry with Kalinin goes far beyond the now-defunct ideology that once divided their nations...
