A paratrooper must be ready for anything. That’s why Nikolay Korotkov isn’t all that surprised by the twist of fate that landed him in the CIA’s secret sabotage unit. They probably “washed his brain,” but the rest he can do himself: the Russian paratrooper is not for the weak.
The mission he was assigned—to stage a military coup in a banana republic—can’t be called a pleasant stroll. But it doesn’t scare Nikolay, especially since with his brains everything is in order.
