Overworld

About Overworld

A real-life adventure story, offering a unique and compelling picture of the danger, glamour and psychology of espionage.

Raised around the globe by a high-ranking American spymaster, Larry Kolb learned to think, look, and listen like a spy. Overworld—his father’s term for the powers-that-be—is Larry Kolb’s story of his own lifelong interaction with those powers. Overworld casts in human terms what it actually means and feels like to be a spy. From the practical to the emotional, it reveals how the world of espionage and covert statecraft actually works, and exposes the dark heart of a life built on betrayals.
