I’m very grateful to Porter Goss for his attention-grabbing Introduction. Porter, my friend and former CIA colleague, was a member of my Junior Officer Trainee class, a group of dedicated and bright Americans who would have been successful in any career they chose. Our country was lucky they chose the CIA.
Finally, thanks to my live-in editor, my wife Cathy, who experienced the book’s several lives and made many helpful suggestions and corrections, big and small.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
During his length career with the Central Intelligence Agency, André Le Gallo—who passed away in 2017—weathered several coups, a war, and a revolution, working across three continents. He served in operations that ranged from the sensitive to the extremely dangerous, holding senior positions and engaging frequently in some of the most challenging actions to protect his country from its enemies. Le Gallo’s novels—The Caliphate, Satan’s Spy, and The Red Cell—reflect the extensive knowledge he gained from those experiences, enabling him to produce a suspense trilogy of unparalleled detail.
