But he's remarkably skillful at evading pursuit, obscuring his tracks, stealing a car, and breaking into a house. And Billie Josephson, the woman Luke once loved, who happens to be an expert in brainwashing and memory loss. And Elspeth, Luke's mathematician wife, who'll do almost anything to save his life. He's dressed like a bum, and he looks like he's been on a bender. Luke nodded. Like Anthony Carroll, a CIA agent who apparently has proof that Luke's been sabotaging the fledgling American space program and working for the Russians. A gangster would be thinking, am I rich, do I slay the broads, are people scared of me?" That was a point. "It's one thing to want to be a good person--but maybe I don't live up to what I believe in." But he does, and it's that firm interior moral
