A new novel by SFI's Valerie Plame Wilson and co-writer Sarah Lovett features a protagonist loosely modeled after Plame and her experiences in the CIA.

Blowback (Blue Rider Press) stars fictional CIA spy Vanessa Pierson, a top agency marksman who tracks a rogue nuclear arms dealer. Plame says she chose a nonproliferation scenario because it is an important international issue.
