Description: "As the Vietnam war rages, a Princeton University graduate is drafted by the CIA to intercept classified fusion energy information from a defecting Soviet nuclear scientist in China. What starts simply becomes an Asian nightmare. More than ten years later, as the cold war enters a new deep freeze, his Canadian origins involve him in uneasy relationships that speak to the heart of the Québec separatist movement and the Anglo-French rivalry in Canada. Sweeping through the Northeastern States, the Atlantic Provinces, to Québec and the Sub-Arctic, the new, unwelcome mission is haunted by ghosts from the past, and carries with it the fate of the future."--Pages [4] of cover.
