INTRODUCTION

The Consummate Secret Agent

by Boyé Lafayette De Mente

The activities of spies, espionage agents, assassins, terrorists and counterterrorist forces are now regular news throughout most of the “civilized” world. These agents of death and destruction often utilize scientific technology that makes some of their feats seem almost supernatural.

Many of the professionals in this nefarious and inhuman business learned some of their methods from studying the strategy, tactics and weapons of Japan's infamous feudal-age ninja who practiced the arts of ninjutsu. and were probably the best trained, most ingenious and deadliest undercover agents of all time.
