About this listen

Bill Buckley has created a handsome American hero, Blackford Oakes, who, by coincidence or not, 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, their 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.

And higher still when the risk becomes one Blacky alone must take.

Great Story

Well read. Great story. Action and spy craft. Blackford Oakes does it again! Buckley is a great writer.

Terrible

First off I thought I was getting a Christopher Buckley novel, second the audio recording was substandard & the plot was boring
