Michael Barrett Miller

While living in Moscow, Russia, Windsor, England, and Dublin, Ireland, combined with extensive travel throughout Europe, the U.S., North Africa, Central America, and Mexico, Mr. Miller had occasion to work directly and indirectly with several "interesting" people and organizations. "The Bridge" is your introductory read to understand how these adventures began - for several of us willing to say yes to adventure. All the other books in the series flow from what happened in Moscow. Over the years, I have been asked many questions about living and operating in the Soviet Union. "The Bridge" shares actual events with a creative narrative connecting the circumstances for those not familiar with the history under Communist rule in the CCCP. London - Helsinki - Tashkent 1978 Michael Garrett is asked by Natalie, his lover, and member of French Intelligence, to travel to Tashkent to meet the Colonel she had been running for years. Her abrupt departure from Moscow and relocation to Paris has strained the management of the most strategically placed agent the French had ever developed. She and her backup can only make the trip that she feels will provide vital information to the West. She reluctantly asks Michael to make the meeting. Before he departs for Tashkent and that meeting, Mick shares his journey as he joins the Australian Secret Intelligence Service in 1972, years before the world knew the Australians had an Intelligence Service. Follow his exploits across Russia along the trail with Jack, ASIS Station Chief, and other remarkable people. Living in Moscow travelling to Kyiv, Leningrad, Volgograd, and other cities, share what life was like in the CCCP under constant watchful eyes.
