The Russians called the project TELEFON.
"It was brilliant," Strelski insisted. "Hypnoisis. We collected four hundred and thirty first-class English speakers who'd never left the country, drilled them in every detail of American life and then hand-picked the cream for drug-assisted hypnosis. When we were finished with them, every one believed he was the American whose papers he carried, and each was programmed to detroy a target in the U.S.A. when he received a coded phone message."
It was a brilliant plan. But now, at the wrong time, it was being executed by the wrong man. Now the Russians must stop TELEFON by dispatching their own James Bond to the United States.
