ALEX KOVACS IS BACK, DESPERATELY TRYING NOT TO BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS HIM.

Or, rather, the hand that feeds his bosses.

Bucharest Unbound is the 12th book in a series that has earned more than 15,000 5-star reviews. In it, Alex has been sent to Bucharest, Romania. He works for the Gehlen Organization, a group of former German officers -- and Nazis of various flavors -- who are angling for a chance to be the intelligence arm of West Germany. Since the end of World War II, the Gehlen Org has received most of its funding from the American intelligence community because of its ability to supply something to the Commie-obsessed Americans that they can't get anywhere else: intelligence sources behind the Iron Curtain; boots on the Communist ground.

In Bucharest, there is a small American presence working with some homegrown anti-Communist commandos. The Gehlen Org is helping, too. But when a Gehlen spy dies, and when the details don't quite add up, Alex is sent to Bucharest to find out why. In essence, he is spying on his American partners as much as he is assisting the commandos on their sabotage mission. What he see baffles him and sometimes disgusts him -- and the whole balancing act nearly topples him.

With more than a quarter-million readers, author Richard Wake has created a character who strikes most as an everyman who finds himself in the middle of a series of extraordinary adventure. He continues to wrestle with his conscience, and the darker side of his nature, and the moral complexity of all of his endeavors. That wrestling continues in Bucharest Unbound.
