This story deals with a succession of events in the evolution of an intelligence operative from his recruitment, training and final insertion into a host or target country. It monitors a candidate from the lowest beginning in the military to the final end product, a well-trained espionage operative. It is an account of the tedious and exhaustive, yet routine, attention to detail and the leaving of a minimum to chance in the making or breaking of an operative. It delves into the practice of espionage at the grass-roots level, the day-today activities of the intelligence operative in-place and functioning.

The world powers are currently thinking in terms of ten to twenty year assignments for their intelligence gathering people -- ergo, a flawless command of one or more foreign languages, the possession of extensive background information and a primary marketable skill are mandatory. Previously it was generally accepted by members of American Military Intelligence that the training for an operative required not less than two years

before that operative arrived in-country. It was likewise believed that in-country seasoning of cover required, at a minimum, an additional two years before the operative

could become operational. Based on world-wide trends and practices these estimates have been drastically and realistically revised upward.

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          Journals are more than a place to write your thoughts; at least for Marisa Sinclair. It is her only link to reality. Since childhood, a part of Marisa leaves her body, and she finds herself a prisoner in the minds of a myriad of people. She has no control over when the ‘Visits’ occur, the term she uses to describe this anomaly and far worse, no control over the host’s actions.

Desperately searching for an answer, her journey leads her into a world of danger. Someone knows her secret and wants to teach her to manipulate the minds of those around her. Her only hope of survival is to find a way to unlock her memory, to reach beyond this world to remember what she truly is.

Prologue: After committing several unauthorized assassinations, DEA agent Rico Caraballo leaves the Agency and retreats to a mission in Columbia’s back country.

Rico returns to the mission after an absence and finds the resident Priest and a Sister murdered. Colombian Army troops arrive at the Mission accompanied by Mike Stilwell, DEA liaison with the unit. Mike recognizes Rico as a former agent and friend.

Angered by the unprovoked murders, Rico agrees to consider returning to the Agency. Several days after Mike and the troops leave, Rico learns that renegades searching for him committed the murders. It becomes apparent that Father Ramon died protecting Rico.

Rico discovers that the man who wants him dead is Jaime Morales, the Jefe of a large Columbian criminal enterprise, the same Jaime Morales who was badly disfigured by a bomb Rico planted.

Morales’ purchase of The Mayan Princess from a defunct cruise line gets the attention of the DEA, and the nature of the vessel’s renovation coupled with an upsurge in Morales’ foreign contacts alerts the CIA.

The vessel is preparing for its maiden voyage when Rico and Mike meet with Flory Gomez who arranges Rico’s reinstatement in time for an assignment to uncover the ship’s mission. At Cartegena, Rico and Flory board as passengers, and Mike as a crew member.

Morales joins the maiden voyage and learns from his cousin Julio Castano that Rico could be the person who planted the bomb that disfigured him. He invites Rico and Flory to dinner. It’s an invitation that results in a series of confrontations between the agents and Morales’ cohorts protecting their interests, even after disavowing their insane leader who forces upon them a premature and deadly conclusion to the voyage.
