About the book: 1964 / Several years ago, British intelligence landed a group of its spies from a sea vessel onto the territory of the Soviet Union. British intelligence officers were convinced that they would complete a number of tasks. The spies lived on Soviet soil for two years. The British celebrated their victory. Of course, they proved that the British intelligence service is still the best in the world!.. The novel “The Amber Sea” tells the true story of the failure of this English espionage campaign. People who chose the fight against espionage as their profession and who participated in this protracted operation are still alive today. Their opponents too. All documents given in the novel are genuine radiograms, reports, secretly written messages. For obvious reasons, some of the proper names of the participants in the events have been changed in the novel.
