In 1968 a Soviet G-class submarine mysteriously exploded and sank to the bottom of the Pacific. With Cold War secrecy and speed, U.S. military intelligence raced to find a way to raise the sub. In the new preface to this edition of The Jennifer Project, which was first published in 1977, author Clyde Burleson discusses some of the sources he could not reveal twenty years ago and provides an interesting swords-to-plowshares update.In one of the more remarkable episodes of high-tech espionage and engineering of the Cold War, the effort to raise the Soviet sub, code-named the "Jennifer Project," assembled a cast of players that included top military brass, the CIA, and the eccentric millionaire and inventor Howard Hughes.The Project was a monumental effort to create a tool that could reach three miles below the ocean's surface and pull the sub from primordial muck—in secret. Financed and built by Hughes and Global Marine under contract with the CIA, the ship created to pluck the sub from the ooze was a technological marvel. Two football fields in length and twenty-three stories high, the Hughes Glomar Explorer held in its hull a six-million-pound submersible "claw" for picking up sections of the submarine.The project cost the U.S. government hundreds of millions of dollars, but the intelligence community was betting that, if successful, reclamation of the Soviet submarine would mean accessing invaluable military knowledge as the two superpowers neared negotiations in the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty talks. The Jennifer Project revisits a fascinating period of high-level intrigue and invention that has remained unknown to many Americans.

The murder of a small town's most admired businessman and philanthropist - a man without an enemy in the world - in time sets in motion events which reveal the moral decay festering beneath his family's golden surface. Following the murder of her husband, his widow has metamorphosed suspiciously from a mousy hausfrau doting on her family to a newly energized vamp hurrying to a secret rendezvous with a mysterious lover. Her 24-year old son later discovers a letter from her paramour, written shortly before his father's murder, and begins to agonize over the unthinkable. The title character, the ethereal Jennifer, the 15-year-old daughter of the murder victim, witnessed her father's murder, but is suffering Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and cannot recall who she saw. A brilliant but maverick psychiatrist, wrestling demons of his own, is brought in to treat her and discovers she is also in the grip of Multiple Personality Disorder. He gambles everything on one high-risk roll of the dice to decipher her psyche, which harbors a grotesque m lange of angry "personas", one of whom holds the key to the identity of the killer and also possesses shocking knowledge about the murder victim as well. The psychiatrist knows that his battle against the cunning and malevolent alter egos who wish to possess Jennifer's soul must be successful, or else she may rapidly descend into madness and even death. There is also a strong feminist angle to the story as the heroine - the small town's newspaper woman - who has fought society's male-chauvinist restrictions for the chance to accomplish something truly significant, risks her life to confront a murderous psychopath she believes is the murderer in hopes of bringing him to justice.
