Amber Widow, Paperback/Ursula Wong

Descriere

Description When a Russian coup elevates a ruthless new leader-Vera Koslova, the first female president of the Russian Federation- to power, the military threat level in Eastern Europe rises exponentially. Fearful of imminent war, 50-year-old Lithuanian radical Darius Artis builds a dirty bomb from nuclear material stolen from the Ignalina Nuclear Power plant in 1990. Hoping to force NATO to intervene, the radicals plan to detonate the bomb at the Russian Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine. Zuza Bartus-a 34-year-old Lithuanian woman educated in the US and now working as an ARAS agent-must find a way to stop the plot. But if she does, who will halt Russia's territorial expansion? In Book Three of the Amber War series, the longsimmering enmity with Russia comes to an explosive head as the Lithuanian radicals engage in a vicious game of chess that would sacrifice some for the freedom of others.
