Mission: Prague
(2017)(The first book in the Tana Standish Psychic Spy in Afghanistan, 1979 series)
A novel by Nik Morton
It's 1975 and Czechoslovakia's people are still kicking against the Soviet invasion.
Tana Standish, a British psychic spy, is called in to repair the underground network.
But there's a traitor at work.
And there's an establishment in Kazakhstan, where Yakunin, one of their gifted psychics, has detected her presence in Czechoslovakia. As he gets to know her, his loyalties become strained: does he hunt her or save her?
When Tana's captured in a secret Soviet complex, London sends in Keith Tyson in a desperate attempt to get her out - or to silence her - before she breaks under interrogation.
'Interestingly, Morton sells it as a true story passed to him by an agent and published as fiction, a literary ploy often used by master thriller writer Jack Higgins. Let's just say that it works better than Higgins.'
- Danny Collins, author of The Bloodiest Battles
Genre: Thriller
