BOOK DESCRIPTION
Russian President and new Czar Ivan Pavlenko suddenly shows his true colors during the war in Ukraine. He wants the old Soviet Union back. The world is on the brink. The influential oligarch Alexei Sokolov wants to prevent Ivan’s megalomaniacal plans and is planning a fundamental new beginning for Russia. To achieve this, the Russian president must die. How will the US President react to the CIA’s proposal to support the oligarch, who has a romantic relationship with the Russian President’s partner, Yulia?
The poison attack is perfectly prepared, but the Boeing with the oligarch Alexei Sokolow, his lover and over 100 passengers on board is hijacked by a Ukrainian terrorist and is supposed to crash over Berlin after knocking out the crew by shooting. Former elite soldier Marc Anderson is on board with his family and takes over with Alexei. The two flight amateurs try to get control. Will the landing and the assassination succeed or will the Kremlin Czar strike back brutally after realizing the role of Yulia?
The Death of the Kremlin Czar is available at Amazon (U.S. edition) and Amazon (German edition).
He looked at the sweaty and thoughtful Michael, stood up and handed him a glass of water.
“Will you do that for me? You don‘t have to answer right away. Sleep on it one night and tell me at breakfast. I will accept a no. I know how attached you are to Germany, despite the current difficulties.“
Between sauna sessions, they ate and laughed almost like in the old times. They cracked jokes about women, about naive Western politicians, about Ivan‘s lickspittles and about old spy stories. They amused themselves that the Russian president was not on the sanctions list, presumably because no assets could be traced back to him.
“Ivan, how do you manage to be at home everywhere and leave no trace?“
“It‘s all a question of networking, Michael Mikhailovich. Politics is a big networking business. Sometimes something goes wrong, and your name indirectly appears in the Panama Papers, for example. Or the helicopter of an opposition figure flies over palaces attributed to me. At least this happened in
the past Then figures about my assets are published. At least, that‘s what happened when my most important opponent was still alive.
He looked at him meaningfully and said with an icy smile and in slow words, “Mother Russia never forgets! You know the meaning, Mischa? Do you? Mother Russia never forgets!“
“I know, Ivan, I know. And the statistics are impressive.“
“You only know the official ones, Mischa. Later you‘ll see the real one. But I‘m not fooling myself. My opponents‘ research continues. No matter what is reported, one thing remains the same. Everything will remain in the fog, like the fog of war“, he added thoughtfully.
