Out of Darkness by Chris Adams
OUT OF DARKNES is the fourth in The Cold War Series by Chris Adams and continues to characterize the turbulent unrest in the lives of the Russian people under the yoke of communism. Once again, he draws from his extensive background in strategic air operations and lengthy travels in the former Soviet Union to create this historical novel. His featured character, Sasha Katsanov, a highly trained and skilled Soviet spy, continues to move from one exciting adventure to the next. The son of a Soviet general, he is also greatly influenced by a doting mother who holds deep anti-communist sentiments. The story witnesses Sasha's development of his own self-doubts, vision and eventual participation in the ultimate implosion of the Soviet Empire. Consistent with his previous novels, the story includes high adventure, spy intrigue and excitement. The author alludes to the fact that many of the episodes are based on similar events that actually took place during the Cold War.
After the rapid success of the US military during Operation Desert Storm, the US clandestine services exploded and caused the formation of dozens of Government Agencies focused on human intelligence gathering. Chris Adams was recruited into clandestine services, shortly after Desert Storm and after twenty-five years of service, he's not allowed to acknowledge the actual nature of his service or even mention the name of the agency where he was employed. Receiving multiple citations for his service, many of which are so deeply classified the actual awards remain locked inside the White House. Almost all of the missions Chris was involved with throughout his career weren't allowed to even be documented, due to the Freedom of Information Act, for fear of retribution by US Allies should they become aware of the missions he was sanctioned by the Government to undertake. Chris amassed a tremendous fortune during his life. Much of his wealth was made in the tech boom of the late 90's, while the subsequent bust of the tech bubble worked to catapult Chris' wealth into the billions. Spending his entire career traveling the world, Chris now spends his retirement surfing the waves and relaxing on the beach of his own private island in the South Pacific. In an alternate reality, Chris is a mystery writer and lives with his wife and three children in Round Rock, Texas.
