Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Parsifal Mosaic

As for Guy Pearce, I agree with keith He immediately leaves the intelligence world, something he had been considering doing for some time and goes sightseeing in areas he had previously visited. The Parsifal Mosaic followed the Bourne Identity and is one of his greatest works! This book is so confusing. Lovecraft and gang go on wacky adventures through R'lyeh solving mysteries and making friends. Preparing to abandon his agent-life and retire to become a teacher, he catches a glimpse of Jenna, alive, at a chance meeting in Europe.

Lu and Feng are a devoted couple forced to separate when Lu is arrested and sent to a labor camp as a political prisoner during the Cultural Revolution. He finally returns home only to find that his beloved wife no longer recognizes him.

KIRKUS REVIEW

They are opposed by Arthur Pierce, a brilliant and murderous Soviet mole highly placed in the State Department. Pierce has ordered the murders of the strategists of Consular Operations two of them are crushed by a bulldozer in their car and driven off a cliff and another is shot , and then a string of successive killings - all in his own quest to gain evidence of Matthias's insanity.

He is also, for that matter, a paminyatchik - an agent under deep cover, who has lived in the United States since infancy. For much of the novel, Pierce's true loyalties lie undiscovered. When Michael finally finds Parsifal, a friend of Anton and a Paminyatchik who is less fanatical than Arthur Pierce, he finds out that the documents were not produced to provoke nuclear war, but rather to demonstrate that no one man could be trusted with vast amounts of power.

Pierce, however, has had his operatives murder Michael's bodyguards and breaks into Parsifal's house just as he agrees to burn the documents. However hearing that Rostov has been murdered, Parsifal decides to sacrifice himself by using his body to block Pierce's gun allowing Michael and Jenna time to get out.

Michael and Jenna then kill Pierce's operatives by stabbing them and Michael then flanks Pierce and guns him down. They conclude that the documentary evidence of Matthias's insanity is best destroyed.
