Blurb: “Have you ever wondered how a spy becomes a spy?
The answer, William Nye discovered, was suspiciously easy. One was invited into the business by a friend-no tests of super-human fortitude, no karate lessons... in fact, rather disquietingly, no questions at all.
All Nye had to do was follow instructions and noth. ing (he was assured repeatedly) would go wrong.
Nothing did. Instead, he found himself top man in the spy racket. An operative of such awesome repute that enemy agents shivered at the very mention of his name-Secret Agent X.
So, naturally, the "nom de grrrrr" went to Nye's head-and when he found himself up against enemy agent Forster (the most insidious undercover fiend ever to slit a throat) he figured him for a pushover....
Here is a spy-tangled novel of undercover miss-adventure that goes from Paris to Venice by ways of intrigue that 007 never dreamed of-with sem - professional killers, submissive subversives and a swinging Mata Hari from Hunter College. This is upmanship espionage at its funniest--and it's all in THE GAME OF X.
