WHEN FAMILY TIES LEAD TO DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.
Everyman spy Alex Kovacs returns to action in Reunion in Prague, the 13th book in a series that has earned more than 15,000 5-star reviews. This time, he visits his home country, the place where he was born, the place that he turned his back on at age 16 for a new life with his uncle in Vienna.
Prague, several years after the war, has been consumed by its Communist oppressors. Private enterprise is being eliminated. The secret police have begun to follow in the footsteps of their masters, the KGB. Show trials of “enemies of the state” have become a macabre form of popular entertainment. And Alex’s employers at the Gehlen Organization are anxious for inside information from behind this particularly nasty bit of the Iron Curtain.
So, Alex returns to Czechoslovakia for the first time in decades – to seek that inside information on the Communist regime but also to reunite with the family he left as a teenager. The relationships are somewhere between tenuous and nonexistent, but Alex figures it might be his last chance – and he soon discovers a secret that tests the very heart of what family means.
With nearly 300.000 readers, author Richard Wake has created a character who strikes most as a regular guy who finds himself in the middle of a series of extraordinary adventures. He continues to wrestle with his conscience, and the darker side of his nature, and the moral complexity of all his endeavors – and in this book, with his family as well.
