We all know of the magician's concept of misdirection or diversion. Show some distraction or bright, shiny object in one hand while the other hand is carrying out the real activity. In espionage, diversion is the primary tool used by the agent to get the enemy looking at something else while the objective is attained. It is the tool of survival for the foreign agent.

We all know of the magician's concept of misdirection or diversion. Show some distraction or bright, shiny object in one hand while the other hand is carrying out the real activity. In espionage, diversion is the primary tool used by the agent to get the enemy looking at something else while the objective is attained. It is the tool of survival for the foreign agent. The CAT205 Team, an undercover team of the Special Operations Group of the Office of Naval Intelligence, is tasked to find out about a potential threat emanating from somewhere in central Asia. Words like 'assassinate', 'test run', 'swarm' and 'global shift' are picked up in several messages that become suspect. The team must find out what the threat is and who is involved. To do so they have to keep the enemy off balance by constantly getting them to chase ghosts so they're always asking the question of "What if.." to something that appears different than what they see. As they work through the many barriers, they find that the threat is greater than anyone thought and the technology used is beyond the ability to defend against it. They must not be distracted by the enemy's bright, shiny object while not letting those they are working against know of their true intentions. It's a cat and mouse game where it's hard to tell who's the cat and who's the mouse.

Mr. T. James LeDoux is a U.S. Navy Vietnam veteran, having worked on river operations on the upper Mekong River with the Mobile Riverine Force and, at times, supporting the Office of Naval Intelligence in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970. His military experience extends from years 1968 to 2000, in both active and reserve service in the Navy, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard. In Coast Guard Reserves, he was part of the Coast Guard security team for former President Nixon's ocean-side residence at the Western Whitehouse (called La Casa Pacifica) at San Mateo Point in California. During his life, as a design engineer and manager, he has designed numerous defense and commercial systems and products in both the high-tech hardware and software disciplines as well as managed many product development projects. His last 10 years were dedicated to training, mentoring and aiding technical leaders in managing high-tech development projects and people. He also spent time as a technical investigator, investigating patent infringement claims and acting as an expert witness in court cases involving development processes in both hardware and software development projects. Along with Warren Yates, he developed the 'Control-Feedback-Abort Loop' concept for problem solution analysis being used in a number of high-tech companies to aid in determining how people will use products to solve problems. He and his wife presently live in Colorado Springs, Colorado writing books, doing research on high-tech development and historical events, analyzing present international events and providing consulting assistance to up and coming design engineers in managing their teams. He is author of several books on business management and historical subjects such as 'The Barbarians Guide to Management' (2012), 'Amateurs With Egos' (2013), and 'Trouble on the Grand Canal' (2013).
