Plot Summary:In an era when the countrys first line of defense, intelligence, is more important than ever, this story opens the CIAs infamous closed doors and gives an insiders view into the Agency how trainees are recruited, how they are prepared for the spy game, and what they learn to survive. James Clayton might not have the attitude of a typical recruit, but he is one of the smartest graduating seniors in the country - and hes just the person that Walter Burke wants in the Agency. James regards the CIAs mission as an intriguing alternative to an ordinary life, but before he becomes an Ops Officer, James has to survive the Agencys secret training ground, where green recruits are molded into seasoned veterans. As Burke teaches him the ropes and the rules of the game, James quickly rises through the ranks and falls for Layla, one of his fellow recruits. But just when James starts to question his role and his cat-and-mouse relationship with his mentor, Burke taps him for a special assignment to root out a mole. As the suspense builds toward a gripping climax, it soon becomes clear that the CIAs old maxims are true trust no one and nothing is what it seems.
