Night of Alien Fogs

The 1970s. Western special services are preparing a sabotage at the secret facility “Sverdlovsk-45,” where nuclear weapon components are produced. Disguised as tourists, a group of militants must enter the forbidden zone and start a fire at the facility. As a result, a release of a radioactive cloud into the atmosphere will cover the region.

The enemy’s plan becomes known to the KGB leadership. The task of eliminating the saboteurs is assigned to a unit led by Lieutenant Colonel Vyacheslav Bogdanov. The fighters pick up the trail of the clever enemy and are ready to intercept the intruders in the area of Nizhny Tagil. Unexpectedly, it becomes known that the spies are to receive help from someone among the personnel of the closed zone. And that fundamentally changes the situation.

Bogdanov understands: the entire operation plan must be urgently rewritten.

A novel about the tense work of specialists from a unique KGB unit—from brainstorming during preparation for a secret operation to the real clash with a cunning enemy anywhere on Earth—this path is possible only for brave and devoted professionals.
