More thanyears pass, and the Cold War gradually gives way to dtente. Nikolai Dalchimsky Donald Pleasence, a rogue KGB headquarters clerk, travels to America, taking with him the Telefon Book, which contains the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all the agents. He starts activating them one by one. American counterintelligence is thrown into confusion when seemingly ordinary citizens start blowing up what are, in some cases formerly top secret facilities that were declassified or abandoned years before the agents commit suicide afterwards if they survive.The KGB dares not tell its political leaders, much less the Americans, about its negligence in not deactivating the spy network. Major Grigori Bortsov Charles Bronson, who is selected for his photographic memory, memorizes the contents of the only other copy of the Telefon Book. He is then sent to find and stop Dalchimsky quickly and quietly, before either side learns what is happening and either embarrass the KGB or possibly start a nuclear war. He is given the assistance of only a single agent planted in America, Barbara Lee Remick. ........
