Audible Editor Reviews
Spymaster is no ordinary account of Cold War espionage - banned by Putin,
it offers an insider look at agent Sergey A. Kondrashev's involvement
with the KGB. Kondrashev entrusted his close personal friend, ex-CIA
officer Tennent H. Bagley, to publish these memoirs for a Western audience,
and the stories of purges, revolutions, and defections are truly startling.

evocative vocal performance is from none other than Bronson Pinchot,
better known as "Balki" from television's Perfect Strangers. Here, he
proves his sincerity and versatility as a vocal actor, to great effect.-
