CONTRACTOR

Womaniser, Andy Gold, is an American living in Poland who has taken on ‘spy work' for the CIA. Travelling into Russia to look for fallen space debris, as well as tracking the illegal sale of radioactive materials to terrorists, may just be out of his depth. Set in the aftermath of the Cold War, it is difficult for Andy to know who he can trust and whether it is all worth it. Add to that his troubled marriage with the terrifying Renata, it's hardly surprising he falls into the arms of exotic Russian spies.

ON THE JOB TRAINING - Berlin to Vladivostok

This book documents Billy Mays’ twenty years, 1983–2003, living in Central and Eastern Europe. A student turned unwitting spy through his work for Radio Free Europe, Billy’s adventures both before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall are described in a career that spans two decades from Soviet-Bloc martial-law Poland through the Klondike-like era following the Soviet Union’s collapse. En-route to becoming a European Director for several multinational firms—including FEDEX—the author befriends world leaders, becomes engaged in spy networks, is immersed in black market trading, and has numerous brushes with death along the way while handling sensitive affairs for U.S. Government agencies. This book, sometimes irreverent and shocking, reveals a great deal about how the East was really won and sheds light into the dark and dangerous world that was the former Soviet Bloc before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
