Called Biopreparat, it was the largest biological weapons program in history.So when a scientist from one of those facilities decides to defect, Talanov has the assigned task of bringing him back. But after tracking the scientist and his family to Spain, Talanov is betrayed and the scientist and his family are murdered.The only survivor is their teenage daughter, Noya -- short for Noyabr -- in English, "November" -- and what happens in an impulsive moment changes the course of Talanov's life by placing him in a desperate race to save Noya from the deadliest and most vicious adversary he will ever encounter: the KGB."Ludlumesque ... Talanov is a wonderful character!" --The Dallas Morning News
