Описание: Should there be three pieces of crap this is of the British Intelligence classic

He was not worth a straw to Intelligence; he was a mere sleeper, just a small coin. One day he felt that, behind his back, there was someone else; a big shot of such high value that they could not afford to lose him. Who could that be - a recent defector? He had no idea. He could only sense a trace of him, barely there; just a nip. They were seeking to ward off the trail, and not just by drawing it aside. Now it appeared to lead straight to him. Every little thing pointed to him. The trace would be lifeless, classically beautiful, and, as such, stone-dead.

ABOUT THE SLEEPER SERIES Each of the secret services has its own handwriting, faint and hardly perceptible. This handwriting is their custom. It does not change for years, and one can read it through. This handwriting can lead an agent to failure. This is what these books are written about, if anything. These books also tell of the legend that keeps recruiting people across time and distance; of something that is stronger than life. This legend is an eternal truth, refilled with the living blood of every new recruiter who would choose the way of the legend. These books are about the legendary Kim Philby. These books contain neither facts of Kim Philbys life nor any historical events. This is all about the modern-day, and is pure fiction. Im giving an answer to the question: Why should the legend of Philby be everlasting? Why is this legend of Philby such a deadly, pulling force? How do the people survive under the wing of his legend? There is little said about it, yet this is the main point. They become traitors long before they step across the threshold of the spy directorate. They step across expressly to turn into traitors one fine day. That is the way they see their careers. They wish to re-act that life of the icon. The legend of Kim Philby makes them traitors from the moment they open that book of his or read about him. This legend keeps recruiting people without money or contracts. The reality is forceless against it. The legend keeps dictating its own logic. It may come along imperceptibly. Once the book of the legend is read through and half-forgotten, it sprouts deep inside and lives to its own time, so one day it will casually remind of its existence, in an implicit way, and push its follower to make the decision which he must have prepared for long ago, when an occasion was in short supply. Most paradoxically, such agents appear to be more mature, and do not really care much about public recognition, awards, money, appreciation, and all those matters connected with a regular, rewarding career. They do not really fall for the uniform and regalia. Surely, the traitors get incomparably better money, but it was not always this way, and would never be the main point. These people rate themselves so highly that money does not measure that value. They are, essentially, free. For such people, there is no borderline where they become traitors; they must have since long slipped across by taking no notice. These people are usually well-educated and highbrow, and, as such, intelligently cruel and deeply calculating. They are idealists. The philosophy of theirs makes blood turn to ice. This is how the legend of Kim Philby works. And its a damn good British job.
