The KGBs Genius of Illusion

The space race started just after World War 11. It was to be an epic battle between the Soviet Union and the United States of America.  World dominance and superiority was the coveted prize.
Espionage was rife.
Soviet Dimitri Azorov infiltrated into the USA. He mingled into society and influential circles with high success whilst despatching vital information on metallurgy.
Simultaneously a disgruntled former Japanese soldier attempts to sabotage several metal foundries producing exotic alloys for rocket components.
