The classic thriller about a hostile foreign power infiltrating American politics: “Brilliant... wild and exhilarating.” —The New Yorker A war hero and the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, Sgt. Raymond Shaw is keeping a deadly secret—even from himself. During his time as a prisoner of war in North Korea, he was brainwashed by his Communist captors and transformed into a deadly weapon—a sleeper assassin, programmed to kill without question or mercy at his captors'signal. Now he's been returned to the United States with a covert mission: to kill a candidate running for US president...
