Book Synopsis

Lester Paldy, a distinguished academic physicist, was tapped by the CIA in 1988 to join the Agency for a trial run as they faced a troubling new situation in Russia. That temporary assignment would last for 25 years, during which he would find himself tested by a shifting set of responsibilities, his ability to penetrate secret sites, his expertise in approaching and assessing targets for potential value to the Agency, and his personal commitment to breaking down long-held barriers between the CIA and the FBI. He achieved this by demonstrating to CIA officers and FBI special agents how to approach scientists in ways that fit smoothly into their research and organizational cultures. As long as Les Paldy remained at the CIA, agents from both intelligence bases would benefit from this unexpected opportunity.

Even today, years after his official departure from the Agency, Les Paldy is invited to the FBI to support agents with his invaluable wisdom and experience. And now, the author extends an invitation to every reader to join him on his life-changing journey as the professor with No Cloak, No Dagger.
