Book Excerpt

Web Of Fear
By Marie Prato

        Communism has crumbled. The Soviet Union has been dissolved. Politicians shake hands and the world rejoices. The two greatest nations in the world can stop the propaganda, spying and treachery that has gone on for decades. The Cold War has ended.

But what of the secret agents that crossed the ocean from both sides--many as spies and a select few to commit acts so highly classified that only recently have rumors of their existence begun to surface? Can these agents be allowed by the now "friendly" nation or even by their own government to lead a normal life or any life at all with the knowledge they possess?

Many of these secret agents came to the United States during the Cold War with hardened hearts and years of propaganda in their minds. They expected to do their job and, if they were lucky, return safely to their own country. But some agents got more than they bargained for. Some found love.

For these agents and the United States citizens who fell in love with them the ending of the Cold War has no meaning. They know that the web of fear that entrapped them during those years will never let them go.

         "Just finished reading "Web of Fear" by Marie Prato. I decided to read this book because it was based on real life and found it very intriguing. There's so much in government that we don't know about. How this woman handled her fears and the courage for her to continue with her search for the man she loved was inspiring. I enjoyed this book so much that I decided to order her other book "Obsession". I belong to a book club and our group is very interested in reading this book. Just wanted to give you an insight on this book. Not sure if you received other comments, but I thought this book was worth mentioning."
