One of the most original, well-written, and best-plotted post-Cold War stories I've read in years. Should be required reading for Washington's policy makers. A ground-breaking novel that redefines the conventional action/adventure, chase and escape genre -- Nelson DeMille

A terrific post-Soviet thriller, distinguished by its portrayal of the wild potential of 1990s Russia and the subversion of that potential into pure corruption, the consequences of which continue to reverberate in the present day. -- Martin Cruz Smith
