Description



Book Synopsis



Surviving teenage angst, military boredom, and a predictably unpromising future, twenty-six-year-old Harry Finn embarks on a journey as a Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State. Posted to the American Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, Harry is unaware a bureaucratic error has labeled him a covert CIA Operative. His quirky character, coupled with the alter ego of a boyhood Western radio hero, starts an adventure of a chance meeting with a family member living as a French tailor under an alias identity.

When Egyptian President Gamal Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal, Great Britain, France, and Israel plan to attack Egypt and retake Suez with a military attack, and seize all financial assets for the canal's international usage. Harry receives critical information on Operation Three Musketeers from an unlikely source and must act to save the lives of 1200 ex-pat Americans. Summoning his alter ego and using his American intuition, Harry puts a plan in place which could make him the hero always he knew he could be.
