Spy Gambit

Originally published by itself and later collected as part of The Sad Spy.
"John Barry, an agent in the Special Affairs Division of the British Secret Intelligence Service, knows that his missions are based on the rule that he is only told what he needs to know. But this time, he receives an almost blind assignment. He only knows that he must eliminate a high-ranking Soviet general. However, his instinct tells him that there is much more at stake than a simple assassination plan."
