Through an informant, British Agent Adam Munro learns that the situation is growing dangerously tense, with powerful forces in the USSR maneuvering for supremacy.
But even as East and West conduct delicate talks, events spiral out of control and threaten to undo every step taken. The world’s largest oil tanker is hijacked by terrorists, and a Ukrainian “freedom fighter” is rescued in a bloody catastrophe on the Black Sea.
From Moscow to Washington, the stakes grow ever more perilous as the mad actions of a few threaten to engulf the entire world in nuclear war—unless Munro can stop them.  aSpy storiesvFictionzEnglish9675748  aPolitical fictionzEnglish9675749  aSoviet Union – Foreign relations v Fiction 9675750  aPolitical Fiction9674675  2nmlcMONO  c18259d18259  00102nml40708FICaWPRObWPROcMezd2025-05-21edonationl0oFIC FOR DevilpFIC0162r2025-05-21 10:06:22t1w2025-05-21yMONO
