Product Description
From Library Journal
Nicholas Foley appears to be an ordinary American psychology professor. He is, in fact, a Russian spy, inserted into the United States after World War II, joining the American army, attending American universities, falling in love and marrying an American, but always in touch with his Soviet superiors. All he ever does in the way of spying is turn in the names of people who might be "turned." But then he makes his momentous discovery. He isolates an ultrasonic frequency that causes anyone within earshot to do whatever he is told. A few demonstrations send both the Russians and the Americans after Foley with a vengeance. Eluding both, Foley uses his tool to strike a blow for world peace, as envisioned by a Sixties hippie, his wife. A carefully paced thriller. Recommended. Patricia Y. Morton, State Lib. of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg

Great spy book with a nice sci-fi twist,
By
This review is from: Tool of the Trade (Paperback)
I picked this book up in a used bookstore as I am a fan of Haldeman's Forever books and enjoyed it immensley. The premise is a basic spy story, a KGB spy placed in America and awaiting activation who happens to end up being a sort of double agent with the CIA. Basic spy stuff and while interesting, it is nothing spectacular. Oh, I forgot to mention this spy in question has invented a device (a watch) that can control people's minds, hypnotize them in a sense. Which mixed in with a spy book makes a great read. If you see this book in a used store or if hopefully it gets reprinted, grab it!

A favorite fantasy - done in a reasonably moral way,
By J. Bridges - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tool of the Trade (Paperback)
Ever daydream you can control other peoples minds?Well, this isn't a porn story! (grin) It's a fast paced delightful action thriller. Would make a very entertaining movie.... oh well, sad that it's out of print. 7 of 10 people found the following review helpful

How to save the world with a trick watch,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tool of the Trade (Paperback)
The KGB has planted Nick in the in deep cover as a professor who makes a powerful discovery. The CIA/KGB/FBI and the cast of Friends (OK, not them as well), are after the secret, but he has his own plans to sort out the mess that the world is in.A satisfying book, that works on more than one level. |
