Description
A novel about the intense work of specialists from a unique KGB unit. From brainstorming sessions during the preparation of a secret operation to a real clash with a treacherous enemy anywhere on Earth—this is a path only for courageous, devoted professionals.
1972. The USSR and the USA are preparing to sign a treaty limiting strategic weapons. To make it happen, President Nixon arrives in Moscow on an official visit. However, not everyone in the world approves of the rapprochement between the two powers. Soviet special services receive a signal that on the eve of the meeting, the Americans will be secretly given a tape with a fabricated recording of conversations “at the top” in the USSR—supposedly about the continuation by the Soviet Union of unilateral tests of nuclear weapons. After that, the planned meeting of the top leaders loses its meaning.
The “Don” special forces unit led by Vyacheslav Bogdanov is tasked with preventing the provocation. The operatives identify one of the perpetrators. But he tragically dies, managing to pass on unknown details that fundamentally change the special forces’ original plan…
“A. Tamonikov’s novels are about real men, for whom notions of valor, honor, and duty are not empty words,” — V. Kolychev. The total print run of A. Tamonikov’s books is over 10 million copies.
