IT'S 1958 AND THE U.S. MCCARTHY WITCH HUNTS ARE DESTROYING lives, while in Russia, Stalinist hardliners are fighting Khrushchev's reforms. Both countries are paranoid over the other's nuclear threat. A Russian bomber trying to deliver a threatening message to an American Air Force Base crashes on a remote Alaskan lake. The lone survivor, Major Anton Bidkov, has flown the mission to free his wife from a political gulag, even though he knows in his heart that she is already dead. Ellen, a self-exiled widow of a career U.S. intelligence officer, whose life was destroyed when he was denounced as a Communist sympathizer, rescues Anton. Realizing that both share similar stories, their common betrayal sparks a fire inside that each thought was forever gone. Ellen and Anton's impossible affair faces one major threat; each is a trained professional and patriot who together may have the key to stopping the deadly North Pacific air war between America and Russia. Is it worth risking what they have, to do what each knows is right? Do they owe their respective governments anything?

Autorenporträt
RODGER CARLYLE is a pilot, political strategist, ghostwriter and novelist who writes both thrillers and historical fiction. He likes to find historic events that are ignored or covered up by the powerful when some strategy or plan goes completely to hell, and from there creates an adventure that often tells a more complete story than traditional history...one that the reader just has to finish. Rodger's thrillers are drawn from current events and conflicts such as the rekindled Cold War or US-Iranian hostilities. From there he develops a story that shows just how brutal unfinished business can be.The heroes in his stories are ordinary people pushed to do extraordinary things that other writers might hand off to a superhero. Like in Rodger's life, that includes a heightened passion that comes with life threatening events and periods of conflict.Rodger is comfortable in black tie urban settings but is never happier than in the wilderness. As a world traveler, he's faced down muggers in San Francisco, intimidation by the Russian Mafia, and charging grizzly bears. Most of his stories take readers to places they will never visit. He likes to think that he is there with them. More at rodgercarlyle.com.
