Publisher's Synopsis
In the early 1970s, an Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) analyst, Zander Ryan, helps unravel a political and intelligence conspiracy to destroy ASIO. A CIA warning fails to prevent the new Labor Attorney-General raiding ASIO in March 1973. Then a public harassment campaign threatens further damage.
Zander sets about exposing the campaign's ringleaders and uncovering a web of KGB moles in ASIO's Melbourne and Sydney offices, in the process barely escaping with his life. Four years later, a different threat emerges as Zander strives to dismantle an Ananda Marga assassination attempt on a visiting Indian Prime Minister in Sydney.
