A chance encounter with a pregnant woman at a Tampa bus stop brings back heart-rending memories of Ed Cade's first and greatest love... Kim.
She was Ed Cade's goddess. In his world, there could be only her pleasure to which to aspire. But change is inevitable, and their paradise ends when it overtakes Cade and Kim. Kim's weakness for alcohol, an accidental pregnancy, and the US military bureaucracy all have an effect on their rocky relationship.
While seeking a way to remain in Europe with Kim, Ed Cade is recruited into a career for which he is eminently suited; he accepts a position with a certain intelligence agency. His newfound status as a spook displeases many -- including Kim -- but Cade finds satisfaction in the job and in his new colleagues.
Through break-ups and reunions, in danger and good-times, for excitement or love, with his goddess or other women, the reader follows Ed Cade from Texas to Virginia to Europe.
From nightclubs to Emergency Rooms, archeological digs to mansions, and beaches to bedrooms, Ed's adventures explore both the US in the aftermath of Vietnam and Germany during the cold war. CAUTION: Must be 18.
