Can anyone tell me when Peter Henderson is first introduced and then turned?
I am re-reading Cardinal of the Kremlin, and I am going nuts trying to
remeber the first time we see him. Is it HFRO? I keep thinking it must be,
but I can't remember its context in that book.

Thanks,

Randy

Unless I'm mistaken, we first see Henderson mentioned in HFRO. That was where
the FBI sniffed him out. That's within the context of when the books were
released. However, year-wise, he is mentioned as a Senator's aide in Without
Remorse. That was set in the early 70's and told of Henderson's recruitment by
the KGB. HFRO was set in the 80's.

The "first" time you really meet Henderson is in _Without
Remorse_.

As others have noted, we met Henderson in TC's first book, HfRO [and
got the "backstory" in WR].

Context was that the CIA/FBI had already tagged Henderson but needed
proof. So the CIA, when contacted by Henderson's Senator with a
question on WTF the Russians were doing, as performed by the Judge
snapped a trap on both, by getting the Senator to swear he wouldn't
reveal what he was being told to anyone, and then fed him some
disinformation. Senator promptly tells it to Henderson, Henderson
promptly passes it to his KGB contact, a taxi driver - recorded for
posterity by an FBI tape recorder. Senator is forced to retire,
freeing Henderson, now turned into a double agent, to go to a position
where he could feed all sorts of good disinformation up the KGB line.

Great thank you. I kind of thought that it had to be in HfRO, but I thought
that there had been more, and there it was, Without Remorse. Thank you for
the detailed context, as it has come bakc to me now. I guess I had better
re-read both HfRO and WR. Thanks again.

When was Cassius/Peter Henderson turned? I just got done reading Red Rabbit and thought he was turned at the end of Without Remorse but might have been Cardinal of the Kremlin. Anybody remember?

Ok, but at the end of Red Rabbit, the CIA (judge moore, ritter, greer) were intersted in the information that the Rabbit gave them about agent cassius like he was still working for the Russians.

Randy,

Red Rabbit was set in between the events of Patriot Games and HFRO.
