Pygmy.

Meer over het boek

Agent number 67, nicknamed Pygmy for his small stature, arrives in the U.S. as an "exchange student" from a totalitarian regime reminiscent of North Korea, Cuba, Communist China, and Nazi Germany. His mission, codenamed Operation Havoc, is critical for success. Upon arrival at a Midwestern airport, he notes that fellow operatives Tibor, Magda, and Ling have already infiltrated American society, embedding themselves within middle-income families across the city. Pygmy is welcomed by his host family: a father working in the biological weapons industry, a mother with peculiar traits, a brother with a dog-like demeanor, and a self-assured cat sister. As he navigates the absurdities of postmodern American life, he views it all with disdain. Indoctrinated into the totalitarian mindset, Pygmy and his fellow operatives are plotting something catastrophic that aims to bring this complacent nation to its knees. The strategy involves a web of operatives, each positioned within their respective homes, schools, and neighborhoods, ready to execute their plan and expose the vulnerabilities of their unsuspecting hosts.
