The hero is Johnny Porter, an Oxford-educated Canadian Indian who is an accomplished linguist and master of disguise. The CIA sends him to Russia to obtain information on a genetics program. He enrolls as a Korean deckhand on a ship in Japan, crosses Siberia as a truck driver--in which capacity he meets beautiful Dr. Tanya Komarov--picks up the information and in a hail of bullets dashes home across the Bering Straits.

An adventure/thriller where the pace builds slowly to a break-neck finish. I will forgive him the ending.
Much lauded thriller that didn't live up to its billing. Preposterous hero who gets to sleep with every female character he meets, including the doctor who has just told him he's contracted gonorrhoea, and a narrative that skips a lot of potentially exciting elements in favour of extended descriptions of how to build a jeep. That said, it kept the pages turning and I wanted to know how it ended
