About this episode
originally aired 7/8/22

JR Seeger served as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne and as a CIA officer for a total of 27 years federal service. Since his retirement, JR has written articles and book reviews in the CIA professional journal "Studies in Intelligence" and the TE Lawrence Society newsletter.
MIKE4 was his first novel and the first in a six part series about a family who have served in the special operations and intelligence community from World War II to the present.
In 2020, JR has started a new series focusing on the early twentieth century competition among the great European powers. Part fantasy, part thriller, the first book, “A school for the Great Game,” looks at the first decade of the last century through the eyes of a teenager.
JR splits his time between WNY and New Mexico.
