Best Ebook Telefon, by Walter Wager
This edgy Cold War thriller, perfect for fans of THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE and other terrifying conspiracy novels, is now available in eBook for the first time! The Russians called the project TELEFON. Collect four hundred and thirty first-class English speakers who'd never left the country. Drill them in every detail of American life and then hand-pick the top students for drug-assisted hypnosis. Every one of them believes he is the American whose papers he carried, and every one of them has been programmed to destroy a target in the U.S.A. The trigger is a coded phone message. It was a brilliant plan. But now, at the wrong time, it was being executed by the wrong man and the Russians must stop TELEFON by dispatching their own special agents to the United States.

I couldn't remember whether I read the book first, or saw the movie first, until the re-read. Then I recalled that I was disappointed that I never got to see Charles Bronson walk out of the sea in a scuba diving get-up onto a crowded beach; I had been imagining that scene, but it wasn't in the movie: Russian spy Bronson flies into a Canadian airport. Watching Lee Remick work quickly cured my disappointment. (In other words, after reading the book, I wanted MORE, so sought out the movie.)For the two of you who don't know the plot, there is a Russian nut-job calling up Russian sleeper agents in the United States, activating them, one at a time, for their deadly pre-arranged missions of destruction against military targets. The sleeper agents are drug & hypnosis produced "robots" living American cover lives who consciously don't know they are enemy agents, until they get the call and hear the trigger phrase that turns them into killer-compulsive-zombie-maniacs. Major Tabbat (Bronson in the movie) is a Russian spy sent into America to stop the nut-job, who just might trigger WWIII.The dialogue is surprises me, and Walter Wager has some serious literary chops (for a Harvard grad); he also occasionally gets into amusing culture commentary the way John D. MacDonald used to do.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Wager contains info on Wager's other written work, including 58 MINUTES, which was made into DIE HARD 2.On the re-read of TELEFON, I realize that the pacing of the movie and the multiple times I have watched the movie has spoiled me: the middle section of the book seems slow, until Major Tabbat figures out that the nut-job is spelling his own name with the sequence of the triggered missions. Then the speed quickly ramps up. Actually, in the book the female double-agent Major Tabbat is working with feeds him this key information bit gleaned from American Intelligence. Also, I've been prejudiced by the quick-cut high-drama images in the movie: I don't remember any "slow" feelings when first reading the book. I notice this book gets a lot of bad reviews, but I think this is an over-reaction to the spectacular movie. In my opinion, the book holds up, but you can't keep reading the book, with images from the movie intruding, because the book is quite different. So I'm sticking with my ★★★★★. If you want a written version of the TELEFON movie, a novelization of the movie screenplay, you will be disappointed.The ending in the book is quite different from the movie; but both endings satisfy me.@hg47

Very good plot. I actually liked movie better than book, which is unusual but it is just hard to comprehend a Russian super agent fighting to save the world one minute, and breeding Lee Remick, the next, while absorbing Frank Sinatra music. But other than that. Bring on the mind controlled super agents.
