I only read it after I'd finished CC and immediately went "D'oh! I so should have read this before!" It's worth reading. So is his short story 'A Colder War' which is available online.
I've read both, and from what I've read here, Declare is even closer to what you've produced. I'm quite surprised you haven't read it because it sounds like it would be one of those central and formative inspirations. Really, read it. If I had another copy I'd mail it off to you today, but sadly...
