Truly an outstanding tour de force, an adventure without end recounting one man's experience as a U-Boat-dodging mariner, a Concorde-flying international executive, and as a deep-cover intelligence agent involved in espionage in Europe and the Americas. Notwithstanding a lifetime replete with hazard, the telling is lighthearted, witty, free-flowing, and punctuated occasionally with intellectual thunderbolts. 'Totally entertaining and a breath of intellectual fresh air, O'Brien treats ancients and literary figures as mates from his local pub.' San Francisco author Jane Ganahl 'A feel-good saga, exciting, dramatic, and beautifully-written,' International voice actor Charles Martinet
