Opis

'An irretrievable step' is an espionage thriller; its plot relates the adventures of Doron Seri an Israeli junior IDF officer who is persuaded to join the Mossad, his country's intelligence service against his will, through sophisticated tactics that leaves him no other choice, but to volunteer to serve his country as a secret agent in an enemy state. He is signed on a contract of seven years, and after two preparative years in Israel he is sent to Italy under a new identity, where he meets Bianca Conti, marries her and takes her with him to Egypt; where they serve as a team. The plot's background is the nationalization of the Suez Canal during the late fifties of the previous century, and the invasion of the Suez Canal zone by the British and French The short paragraph of my book below, endows the reader a glimpse of the plot: On his way to town he remembered with sudden alarm that he had to call them and fix the place and time, but he forgot all about it due to that piece of information about the agent that was caught in Damascus no doubt. Thus he headed again to Eliot Cafe, and reached it at six fifty three pm. He hoped they will miss him and he won't hear from them ever again. But at seven pm sharp the same young man the one named Gad, which he met at the first meeting at Eliot Cafe, has arrived this time with a middle aged tall man. He stood up to welcome them but Gad muttered 'let's go' and they went outside to a van that was waiting for them. They took him to a chirography expert, a test that lasted some forty five minutes and then to a psychiatrist at the other side of town, where he was tested with a psycho technical test that lasted two hours. He had no idea what the results were, but the fact that they ended up in a downtown restaurant, and that was the proof that he passed the tests successfully. They ordered mixed grill and a bottle of red wine, his favorite dish and the wine he used to drink, to his utter surprise. They seemed in good mood both his strange companions; they were exchanging witty jokes, doing their best to free him from the gloomy mood, which his face has radiated. When the meal was almost over the middle aged man that introduced as Samuel, turned to Seri and said: 'All you've to do now is sign the contract; it's a seven year contract...' Seri was astounded a seven year contract... He sat still watching Samuel's face unable to comment, though he wished to. 'It's a two year period of training and five years service in an enemy country.' The talent scout added solemnly. The fact that this impressive middle aged man was the organization's talent scout was known to Seri only some time later, but although that stranger's charismatic appearance, his impressive personality and his persuading influence Seri decided to reject their offer. 'I'm not going to sign that contract, I'm sorry.' He declared decisively. 'Okay you've our phone number, if you'll change your mind do let us know.' The talent scout said with a benevolent smile. 'You may go now.' He added smiling still. armed forces."
