“Bart Davis is a rare talent...His novels are extraordinary.” –Gerry Carroll, author of North SAR


A HIGHSTAKES KREMLIN CONSPIRACY. A HIGHSTAKES INTERNATIONAL NIGHTMARE


THE MACHINE

In a dàcha outside Moscow, Vladmir Malenkov, the leader of the Soviet Union, lies near death, his frail body hooked up to every imaginable life-sustaining device...and to a computer more advanced and powerful than the world has ever known.


THE CONSPIRACY

Behind the walls of the Soviet Defense Ministry, the generals plan to seize control of the government—and to threaten a devastating nuclear strike against the United States.


THE MAN

When journalist Alexi Petrov’s scientist brother dies in his arms, his last breath an apocalyptic warning, Petrov is forced to confront the conspiracy—and quickly discovers its deadly implications. Unless he can reach Malenkov in time—before the computer programmed to protect him can be subverted—Russia may be doomed to nuclear winter...and the earth to perish.
