Meet the Author: John Sager

Local Mercer Island author, John Sager, presents his latest book, Night Flight, the fictitious account of what might have happened during the late 1970's, as a belligerent Soviet Union races to improve its nuclear missile arsenal, in preparation for a preemptive first strike against the United States. The mission’s success will depend on the untested loyalty and skills of three Soviet citizens who are prepared to die to save their country from a nuclear holocaust. Author John Sager, himself a CIA veteran of many years, tells the story as no one else could, having served in both countries during the height of the Cold War. The tale closely parallels his own CIA training and experience.
