Requiem of a Spy by Chris Adams
THE FBI AREST 12 RUSIAN SPIES.Newspaper headlines, radio and television networks announced the startling news. A dozen or more undocumented Russian agents were caught operating undercover within the United States. This event might well have occurred back during the last Millennia, and did, but this is 2010; the Cold War has been over for almost twenty years, or has it? Were we surprised? After all, the President of the United States had within the previous week of the arrests, hosted the President of Russia to an Official State Visit. As this book enters the final publication phase, I could not have created a more perfect, although factually unsettling, introduction to the exciting and factual story which you are about to begin. The most powerful and aggressive intelligence and secret police organizations in the world have for centuries belonged to Russia, and during the Cold War, the Soviet Union. The long and sordid history of Russian secret police operations and tactics dates back to the 17th Century and Ivan the Terrible. The Soviets, known for their paranoia and mackorova (masquerade), frequently renamed these agencies in attempts to foil foreign interests. The name changes were largely cosmetic and their foul work never changed. Soviet leaders throughout the Cold War found it expedient to pit the KGB and the GRU against one another for maximum benefit of desired objectives. Although the story herein is one of fiction, perhaps it is more appropriately one of faction--a fictional story derived from factual history, and as we now know persists today. Herein, I have delved into many of the factual truths about these two Cold War secret spy organizations, their sordid and brutal deeds, their recruiting, training and surveillance tactics, agent operations and exploitation of Western technologies.

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.
