Críticas:
Alex Dryden's brilliant and unforgettable novel has told me more about the making of modern Russia than I could learn from all books of journalism and contemporary history combined. That it has done so in the form of a compulsively readable spy story, love story and moral fable is nothing short of miraculous (Stephen Fry)
Alex Dryden is the real thing. If he got any realer, he would step out of the pages and physically punch you, with both elegance and regret (Hugh Laurie)
... terrifying, quite frankly ... chillingly unputdownable - everything you didn't want to know about Putin but were afraid to ask (Emma Thompson)
...could not be better timed... [Dryden] is grimly authoritative on the power plays of Putin and the new Russia (Daily Express)

A spy thriller, a love story and a chilling look at a resurgent superpower...
At the dawn of the new millennium, Finn, an MI6 spy, and Anna, a colonel of the KGB, have been sent to spy on each other. Instead they find a love that becomes to only truth they can trust. A source deep within the Kremlin tells Finn of a plan, hatched in the depths of the Cold War, to dismantle the edifice of the communist state and to bring about the rise of a new imperium within Russia: a plan to control the whole of Europe. Finn's masters in London are blinded by the new wealth pouring out of Russia and he must leave the Service and work in secrecy to uncover the deadly threat it poses to the freedom of every one of us.

Descripción Condición: Good+. 1st paperback. A 1st paperback (A format) ed. good+, minor signs of use & crinkle on cov. as in image, creased spine, text block very good- clean/tight. 501p. 17,5x11cm. 300gr. Brit journalist Dryden's debut is half spy thriller, half love storyâÂÂ"and half superb.The narrator is Anna, youngest female colonel in the KGB. The beautiful (natch) daughter of a spymaster, she grew up in privilege in a KGB enclave. She's assigned to seduce Finn, a charming scapegrace of a British agent who's been posing, transparently, as a trade secretary in Moscow. Anna and FinnâÂÂ"each aware from the beginning of the other's real work, and aware of the other's awarenessâÂÂ"embark on an affair, a professional obligation that grows into a passion. Immediately after Putin comes to power, Finn engineers his recall to England and retirement from duty. He knows the Russians will assume this is a feint and send Anna after him to divine the identity of the high-level Kremlin source he's hinted at. Over the next few years, at first with Anna's quiet support and eventually with her active connivance, Finn unravels a convoluted plan hatched decades earlier to launder "black money" through Luxembourg, Russia's client states and elsewhere, and to deploy it in ways that could shift the world's balance of power. The intrigue is wonderfully twisty, and Dryden paints a terrifying portrait of Putin's ruthless Russia, but the romance plot is labored and clumsy, as is much of Anna's characterization.Terrific when it sticks to spycraft and the intricacies of geopolitics. Not so much when it attempts the intricacies of the heart. (kirkusreview). Nº de ref. del artículo: PC4294
