An author's dedication to the men and women of the CIA who serve without recognition, applause, or public acknowledgment.

Author's Dedication
There are professions where success is celebrated publicly.
There are professions where accomplishments become history.
And then there are professions where success remains forever unknown.
This story is dedicated to the men and women of the Central Intelligence Agency who serve their nation without recognition, applause, or public acknowledgment.
Whether stationed overseas, working behind a desk, analyzing intelligence, recruiting sources, supporting operations, or serving in places most people will never know exist, they share a common commitment to protecting the United States and its citizens.
Their work demands dedication.
Their mission demands sacrifice.
Their profession demands patriotism.
Most will never receive public credit for what they accomplish.
Many will never be known.
Yet they continue to serve.
These books are a work of fiction — or are they — inspired by the spirit of professionalism, commitment, and service demonstrated by intelligence professionals throughout history.
To those who quietly stand watch—
Thank you.
