How can a country conceal defense-related research in an era of computer-assisted pattern recognition and twice-daily satellite over flights?

David Marston has the answer: A top-secret research center constructed beneath an ordinary college campus, and a tiger town staffed by security personnel. Alas, David is fired when he forgets the college is only a cover, not an end in itself.

Goreff is also at odds with his Russian bosses. When he discovers an unusual pattern of enrollment at a U.S. college, his superiors in KGB intelligence won't listen. He goes underground in the U.S.A. to check out the new college for himself.

Beverley spends her days in counter-intelligence beneath the new science building, her evenings unwinding at the Bar-B dance hall. She thought J.D. and David would help her stop the leak, but J.D. is dead and Dave's houseguest, Professor Goreff, is a known Soviet agent!
