This is an exceptionally detailed novel about Soviet espionage tactics during the Cold War. The manufactured tale provides an extraordinary and factual inside view of the two Soviet powerful and aggressive secret police spy agencies, the KGB and the GRU.

“Who killed JFK?” As the 40th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy approaches, the persistent and ominous question lingers. Dozens of books have been written about the tragedy, seven by one author alone, Harold Weisberg. Most of the written works reflect exhaustive research and resulting speculation, opinions and conjecture. Few of the books arrive at the same consensus as that of the Warren Commission which investigated the murder. PROFILES IN BETRAYAL is a uniquely developed novel which centers on the assassination. It is unique in that the author has cleverly created a story entwined with facts, fiction and a slight twist of concluding serious satire. Following the assassination of President Kennedy and the revelation that the accused killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, lived in the Soviet Union for three years prior to committing his alleged deed, historical Soviet paranoia erupted. The main character of the story, “Sasha” Katsanov, is a highly trained and skilled Soviet GRU agent-spy who is sent undercover to the United States in an attempt to determine if Oswald was in fact under the influence of the KGB, other Soviet interests or did he act alone? The historical rivalry between the GRU and the infamous KGB is rekindled with numerous attempts on the part of the latter to thwart Sasha’s mission. Kidnapping, torture and murder, a routine part of the KGB’s modus operandi to influence and exert power and control were put to full use in the attempts to sabotage Sasha’s investigation.

"Chris Adams’ latest work, The Betrayal Mosaic, is another high quality spy story! The exceptional realism of the plot sequences resemble all too clearly many of actual events that occurred during the Cold War period of anxiety. Written with expertise,” according to Lt. General Lincoln D. Faurer, USAF (Ret), former Director of the United States National Security Agency. Adams’ exceptional knowledge of Cold War history and the internal operations of the vast Soviet espionage agencies have led to the creation of another captivating story that leaves one spellbound with anticipation of the unexpected. As with his two previous books in this series, he sets the stage with The Situation, a non-fiction tutorial which provides the reader with the historical background events that took place in the former Soviet Union during the Cold War. The principal character drawn from his previous books, Alexandr “Sasha” Katsanov, the loyal and dedicated Soviet GRU espionage agent, is challenged once again when KGB operatives attempt to kill him, but instead brutally murder his wife, Katiya. Following the botched event, he is sent to the United States as an attaché assigned to the Soviet Embassy to protect him. He quickly discovers that espionage is a two-edged sword──Soviet agents and Americans alike──fall prey to greed and ideological motivations to sell-out their governments. For those of you who have read his previous books, you will once again enjoy a credible adventure story which takes us on a realistic journey into the shadowy realm of the cruel ruthlessness of the Soviet Union's Cold War spy agencies as well as the operational workings of the CIA and FBI.

A non-fiction personal monograph about the Cold Warriors, the men and women who served with the strategic nuclear forces…the bombers, ballistic missiles and the nuclear submarines during the Cold War.

A unique and unusually developed documentary tracing the forty-five year Cold War. The work is unusual and unique. It is unusual because like most books of an historical nature, it is free-flowing and not tightly structured. It is likewise unique because it is written with considerable input from the author’s personal experiences interwoven with perceptions and anecdotal observations.
