Set in 1987, the waning days of the cold war, this action-packed
thriller centers around an actual, tragic historical event. It is a
secret that has been closely guarded for 40 years by the dying
Soviet regime, which will stop at nothing to ensure it never
becomes public. Retired American O.S.S. officer Leonard Galloway is
one of the few who knows the horrible truth. At the end of World
War II, the Soviet army kidnapped thousands of liberated American
prisoners of war and shipped them to the USSR to serve as slave
labor. Most of them died in the camps, but now, forty years later,
100 Americans remain alive in the Gulags. Galloway and his ally,
Soviet defector Sergei Novikov, set in motion an elaborate plan to
secure the remaining prisoners' release. Their efforts focus on
mysterious Polish scientist Stanislaw Padereweski, who holds the
key to the men's freedom. But the plan is derailed when ruthless
K.G.B. Major Yuri Andreyev intervenes. Denny Goodwin, Galloway's
young friend and business associate, inadvertently stumbles onto
the plot and becomes the centerpiece of the efforts to free the
prisoners. He and his rival-turned-love interest, Megan Sumerford,
find their lives in constant danger as they are pursued by the
K.G.B. and the F.B.I. It is a race against time, and Denny knows
that he is the only hope for the Americans long forgotten in the
Soviet Gulags ... This fast-paced thriller leads the reader from
the small hamlet of Midlothian, Texas, through Dallas and all the
way to Washington D.C., Edinburgh, Scotland, and the heart of the
Soviet Gulag. Meticulously researched with supporting documentation
from the National Archives, its gripping climax involves a
confrontation between President Ronald Reagan and General Secretary
Mikhail Gorbachev at their pivotal December 1987 Washington summit.
