Moskau, 1962. Alexander Wassin ist der Top-Agentenjäger des KGB. Als es gilt, einen Maulwurf im Kreml aufzuspüren, kommt nur er dafür infrage. Während die Spannungen zwischen Chruschtschow und Kennedy zunehmen und die Kubakrise auf ihren Höhepunkt zusteuert, ahnt Wassin nicht, dass das Schicksal der Welt bald vom Erfolg seiner Mission abhängt - und von der Geduld des Kapitäns einer sowjetischen U-Boot-Flotte, der weit unter dem Meer auf die Befehle seiner Kommandanten wartet, zu denen er den Kontakt verloren hat.

Sowjetunion, 1961: Major Alexander Vasin, Agent des KGB, wird mit einem Spezialauftrag in die isolierte Stadt Arsamas-16 geschickt. Er soll dort den mysteriösen Tod des jungen Physikers Fyodor Petrov untersuchen. In Arsamas-16 herrscht höchste Geheimhaltungsstufe, denn dort wird gerade die Testzündung der größten Wasserstoffbombe der Welt vorbereitet. Bei seinen Ermittlungen stößt Vasin auf eine Wand des Schweigens. Was versuchen die Forscher zu verbergen?

The year is 1962, and KGB Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vasin is chasing a white elephant: the long-rumored existence of an American spy embedded at the highest echelon of Soviet power. In a wild-goose chase that has Vasin engaged in high-stakes espionage against a rival State agency, he 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 are ordered to make a covert run at the American blockade in the Caribbean.

It is the dawn of the 1960s. In order to investigate the gruesome death of a brilliant young physicist, KGB officer Major Alexander Vasin must leave Moscow for Arzamas-16, a top-secret research city that does not appear on any map. There he comes up against the brightest, most cutthroat brain trust in Russia who, on the orders of Nikita Khrushchev himself, are building a nuclear weapon with 3,800 times the destructive potential of the Hiroshima bomb. 

Inspiration from one of the least known but most terrifying moments in modern history - when the fate of the world lay with a lone, nervous Soviet naval officer 100 meters under the Caribbean sea - lies at the heart of this breathtaking new Cold War thriller from the author of the acclaimed Black Sun. 

1961. Hidden deep within the forests of central Soviet Russia is a place that doesn’t appear on any map: a city called Arzamas-16. Here a community of dedicated scientists, technicians and engineers are building the most powerful nuclear device the world will ever see - 3,000 times more powerful than Hiroshima. But 10 days before the bomb is to be tested, a young physicist is found dead. His body contains enough radioactive poison to kill thousands. The Arzamas authorities believe it is suicide - they want the corpse disposed of and the incident forgotten.

Vladimir Putin lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime—and Russia itself—at risk of destruction. Why? Drawing on over 25 years’ experience working in Moscow, journalist Owen Matthews provides the answer. He takes us inside the COVID bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of nationalist fantasy and bad information.
