Rogue Agent 2, Hard to kill, Jack Drake, 1991, Avon books уменьшенный формат Hard To Kill To stay alive, John Paine has to hide out as a steward on a yacht but that just opens him up to even stranger trouble. John Paine is an agent with the CIA. Paine was an old-timer with the Agency, having served back in Vietnam  in the famour Phoenix program where he and his fellow agents went deep  into enemy territory to find and eliminate key personnel without warning  and without mercy. Paine was one of their best but, in keeping with his  penchant for speaking his mind and telling his superiors the truth, not  just what they wanted to hear, he was always considered an outsider. In the books depicted in the series, though, Paine is not just a  rogue operative in that he does things his own way, he is truly a rogue  agent, namely an agent that has revolted from his superiors and is out  on his own, unpredictable and dangerous. He turns rogue when an order to  hold or eliminate him goes out from headquarters and Paine has no idea  why. He has done nothing to deserve it, being a good and loyal agent for  many years. But someone from Langley wants him dead and Paine does not  want to be dead. So he goes rogue. This action, naturally, convinces most everyone at the Agency that he  has gone bad. The CIA, fearing that he would head to either the Iron  Curtain or worse, to the media, has upgraded the call to a  "stop-at-all-cost". Paine, however, isn't as rabid as thought and knows  that the real culprit is the high-level official who has framed him.  Paine must find him to prove his innocence but he must stay alive to  find the proof. The concept for the series is that Paine was on assignment in East  Germany when the mission was wrong and a colleague is killed. Suddenly  what little evidence as to what happened points to Paine being a double  agent and the order to capture him goes out. When Paine doesn't come  quietly, certain that there is a mole, the order is intensified. The six-book series is a serial with each volume being an episode merging immediately into the next. книги на английском English детективы
