Summary
Description from the publisher:
"Part I: A Mole in the System
"Any questions, Mr. Solo?"
Sam Beckett blinked and looked at the elderly gentleman who had spoken to him. He was momentarily disoriented from the effects of Quantum Leaping. One minute he could be milking a cow the next behind the wheel of a race car. This time he sat at a round table, apparently in the midst of a business conference, for a younger, blond man sat beside him. A triangular yellow badge was pinned to his lapel and Sam tilted his head to see if it bore any sort of identification, but all he could see was the number 11.
So starts yet another adventure for Sam, one in which he has to discover the mole in U.N.C.L.E., while keeping his own identity from his "partner," Illya Kuryakin, a man more atune to subtle changes in character than the normal person would be. But, one leap is not enough this time. It isn't long before Sam has leaped into Illya, turning the tables, and seing things from a different perspective.
Part II: The Americanization of Illya
Thrush is again recruiting young geniuses into their evil fold. Sam's name comes across Illya's desk, and it sounds oh so familiar. He goes to play bodyguard so that in the future, the young Sam will be able to leap back ot the past and save both his and Napoleon's lives. To blend in with the farm folk, our favorite Russian spy has to pretend he's an immigrant hoping to build a better life in America."
