GOD & SPIES: BASED ON A TRUE STORY TOP SECRET OPERATION

GOD & SPIES: Based on a True Story. Author GM Matheny was a US Navy saturation diver on the nuclear submarine USS Halibut. Involved in Operation Ivy Bells. America's most important (and most dangerous of the Cold War) clandestine operations. If you like good old fashioned American bravado, espionage and American history, you will enjoy this book. GOD & SPIES is a firsthand account of America's greatest intelligence coup! Operation Ivy Bells was not a onetime intercept of foreign intelligence but an ongoing operation of multiple Soviet military channels. Another reason for the high interest in our operation was the audacious nature in which it was doneâ€”with not one person risking his neck but the crews of two US Navy nuclear submarines which rendezvoused in Soviet territorial waters. How did I end up as a navy diver, four hundred feet down in a frigid Russian sea? After making my dad totally disgusted with me, I set out to make him happy. "Honor thy father" - I struggled with a decision to serve God. "Lord, I will give my life to you and serve you if you let me make this dive." But I had the impression He only wanted to know one thing: â€˜What if I do not let you? Will you serve me anyway?â€™â€BOOK EXCERPT The tenders in the dive chamber who are bringing in Red Diverâ€™s umbilical cable, unexpectedly have his cable ripped out of their hands! â€œWhatâ€™s going on?â€ one of the tenders asks. Mathenyâ€™s fins have landed back onto the first leg of the DSRV, which keeps him from sliding back any farther. He then pulls toward him about 30 feet of his umbilical cord and makes a dash for the next leg coming down from the DSRV. The red light from his emergency return bottle is still shining in his face reminding him he is running out of time. He makes it to the next leg of the DSRV, from this position, he can see the light shining down in the water from the entry point back into the dive chamber. He positions himself to push off this last leg of the DSRV. But then, unexplainably, he is again yanked backward and his face mask slams into the leg of the DSRV. Matheny grabs for this leg and clings to it.
