In this book, author Joseph has shown Bob Danforth as a Special Ops Officer in CIA, who is pitted against a deadly terrorist group called Greek Spring. The mission given to Bob Danforth is to identify the member of Greek Spring who are known to operate in Athens, Greece for many years, and make them pay for assassinating the Station Chief of CIA in Athens. But, the CIA and Danforth are not aware that the Greek Spring is planning to attack the games of Summer Olympics of 2005. They seem to be hampered by the orthodox style of operation that appears to have weakened the Intelligence gathering abilities of the United States, as well as the obstructions caused by the Greek authorities in their line of work. Bob’s mission becomes much more difficult when the terrorists come to know about his presence in Greece through an informant and begin to target him for assassination. In this book, author Joseph has described an interesting story of international intrigue that involves the CIA officials, the Greek government, and the terrorists from Libya, Iran, and Greece.
