Berlin, 1945. The German capital is collapsing in flames as Major Henry Kimberly of the office of Strategic Services slips into the city to recover trapped OSS agents. His mission is particularly dangerous because of a recent ominous discovery: within the vast Allied intelligence network there is a double agent, a man code-named Talbot. After sending one last cryptic message, Kimberly is never heard from again.
Glen Cove, 1982. Situated in this smart town on Long Island’s Gold Coast is the baronial retreat of the Russian mission to the United Nations. As the Fourth of July nears, the town braces for a confrontation between the unwelcome Soviet diplomats and fanatic super patriot George Van Dorn, owner of a neighbouring estate. Van Dorn has promised a fabulous fireworks display - to be aimed directly at the Russian mansion. Only a handful of brilliant amateur intelligence officers of the OSS and their heirs know that a far graver peril is scheduled for Independence Day: a highly technical plan, managed from within the government, to disarm the United States in one stroke.
Like the warrior Ulysses in the Greek legend, the double agent Talbot has come to wreak a terrible vengeance - and he has help from someone within the OSS group. The Warrior has returned.
