The Escape Agent (Der Rausholer)
by Max Claro
Description
Shortly before taking the school certificate exams, the hippy and opponent of the war in Vietnam, Michael Müller, drops out of high school. In response, his mother coldly tosses him out into the street. Following a revealing travel odyssey throughout America, the country of his dreams, he obtains US citizenship in the name of Michael Miller and finally winds up signing on the dotted line to serve in the U.S. Army. Once in Vietnam, Miller deserts in such a high profile and adventurous manner, that the eyes of the CIA fall on him. To avoid prosecution, and a certain prison sentence for desertion, Miller agrees on behalf of Langley to extract chosen Assets out of the Warsaw Pact and Middle East States to the West. His finest coup, on behalf of the BND, to free 141 German hostages from the firm clutches of the Islamic Republic of Iran had gone almost unnoticed by the press and the general public at the time.
The gripping story of an agent who never actually wanted to be one.
