Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
Inspired by one the least known but most terrifying moments in modern history - when the fate of the world lay with a lone, nervous Soviet naval officer one hundred meters under the Caribbean sea - lies at the heart of this breathtaking new Cold War thriller from the author of the acclaimed Black Sun.
The year is 1962, and KGB Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vasin is searching for ghosts: for evidence of the long-rumoured existence of an American spy embedded at the highest echelons of Soviet power. But it's while on this wild goose chase, a high-stakes espionage race against a rival State agency, that Vasin first hears whispers of an ominous top-secret undertaking: Operation Anadyr.
As tensions flare between Nikita Khrushchev and President Kennedy over Russian missiles hidden in Cuba, four Soviet submarines - each carrying tactical ballistic missiles armed with thermonuclear warheads - are ordered to make a covert run at the U.S. blockade in the Caribbean . . .

Soviet espionage and secret mission to Caribbean is the main theme, set in Cold War during 1962 when tensions between two superpowers USSR and US were high. A submarine carry nuclear weapons has its orders yet These orders are only going to start another war, what do you do when the enemy is your equal and knows your finger is on the red button? Fascinating descriptions of life under water and the stress felt by crew, you could feel the pain, what mission let’s just get some air in our lungs. The linked story within the plot is agent Vasim who is working for kgb and in so deep, how do you ever escape their control? Gripping storyline, couldn’t put it down. Thank you #NetGalley for the audiobook to review.
