Because of its confident pacing, its backdrop of circumstances, and an array of characters who stand up quite smartly on the page, this novel reads like the work of a seasoned wordsmith. Yet it actually marks the fiction-writing debut of an American attorney and well-known death penalty opponent, long interested in Russian affairs. The world Manning so skillfully portrays is one in which murder is seen as a regrettable necessity, deception goes hand-in-hand with power, and the general welfare of mankind is shrugged off without a thought. S. Lee Manning’s Trojan Horse explores political intrigue and corruption at the highest levels of government. Questions of deception, loyalty, and conscience are what makes this thriller so absorbing — questions with which, on a smaller scale, we all must grapple. A remarkable tale that makes espionage rousing, demanding, and occasionally terrifying. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
American operative Kolya Petrov is tracking Mihai Cuza, a direct descendant of Vlad the Impaler. Kolya suspects him of planning meltdowns of nuclear power plants around the world, but every time Kolya gets close, a member of his team dies in agony. Margaret Bradford, the head of Kolya's agency, seizes upon a devious plan to place a "Trojan horse"-a digital virus-on Cuza's computer. But for the plan to succeed, she must betray one of her own agents. Margaret chooses Kolya Petrov-a Russian-Jewish immigrant with no family-for the honor. Kolya is initially unaware that he's been set up for kidnapping and torture. When he realizes the truth, he must choose between stopping a plot that could kill thousands, and protecting his own life and the life of the woman he loves.
