Forbidden Area

Dublin Core

Abstract

It's the Cold War, and the Soviets try a take-two of the German's WWII Operation Pastorious, even landing their four spies on the same Ponte Vedra Beach. The Russian agents infiltrate and sabotage a military base in Orlando, among other locations, by adopting false American personalities. Meanwhile employees at the Pentagon are busy putting together pieces of the puzzle both at home and abroad to figure out what is happening.

The other identifiable local location is Highway A1A between Ponte Vedra and Vilano Beach; although characters live in St. Augustine, and some have the local surname of Pope.
