Synopsis
Dr. Sarah Stuart, a coolly beautiful Scots parapsychologist who, while working in America, is made an offer she dare not refuse - for a Presidential request, carefully conveyed by a senior figure in Naval Intelligence, is an order. Operation Endor, she is told, concerns the urgent debriefing of a mind of great evil and depravity, but with unequaled access to secret, globally important information. Operation Endor needs her. Her orders are to raise the ghost of a dead Russian defector.

From Publishers Weekly
"It" is Marshall Andrei Illich Itzhevnikov, defense minister, chief of the Soviet armed forces, member of the Politburo, who is shot in a mindless border dispute as he defects to the West. The CIA, however, secures his almost lifeless corpse and, with the aid of Naval Intelligence, secretes it in a "safe" house along the Maine seacoast. Parapsychologist Dr. Sarah Stuart agrees to read the last emanation of "It" 's brain to help the U.S. gain an advantage in the Cold War. Alas, her team from the Biotechnic Institute has been infiltrated by a Communist agent. More trouble ensues because Sarah has raised the ghost of Itzhevnikov, which promptly possesses the mind, heart and energies of the U.S. president. There may be a market for this book among those who believe in transsubstantiation, reincarnation and communication with the dead. But even for them the story will be unsatisfactory, since Sarah cannot exorcise the ghost, cannot subdue the evil spirit.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
