Todd's Guardians

The story is set in Thailand in the late 1970s. Todd Harris is a genius and one of America's leading scientists in electronic miniaturization and nuclear bomb design. He is considered a national asset - but he has a death wish.

While Todd's in Thailand, the CIA is tasked with ensuring his security. But their job is not easy as he craves excitement and wants to take chances – he has a death wish. His presence in Thailand comes to the attention of the Pakistan intelligence service and a plot develops to kidnap him in pursuit of nuclear weapon development secrets. The CIA uncovers this plan and uses the unwitting Todd as bait in a scheme to set back Pakistan's bomb development. C. Edgar's North's writings are verisimilitude and inspired by his travels.
