Review:

Add New York Times writer Clyde Farnsworth to the ranks of foreign correspondents who enter the thriller world with all their information-gathering equipment turned up to full volume. In Shadow Wars, Farnsworth invents a Russian physicist who discovers a way to make the ancient alchemists' dream of turning lead into gold come true. But his anti-Semitic superiors reject his theories, so Dmitry Sherbatov sneaks away to Israel to continue his work. A feud within the Israeli secret service soon brings the CIA and the Iraqis into the picture. Farnsworth's journalistic abilities work to keep the story credible, while his fictional talents have a field day with scenes of stealth and action.
