  • "During the winter of 1999, Russia reaches the brink of collapse when its president suddenly dies in office. The likely successor is Igor Komarov, an ultra-nationalist whose fascist and racist manifesto falls into the hands of British intelligence. Neither London nor Washington will take action, so the retired head of SIS, Sir Nigel Irvine, forms his own covert operation to subvert Komarov. His man in Moscow is Jason Monk, a former CIA officer who ran agents until they were betrayed by A. Ames."

  • "Russia 1999 and Igor Komarov presents himself as the saviour for a lost continent, the one man who can make dofference to the lives of his countrymen. To the Russians this is music to their ears - but when a document from Komarov's headquarters arrives in Washington and London, it sends a chill to those who remember another man who promised hope for his country. Will this be the beginning of the fourth Reich?"@en

  • "It was the summer they began dying of malnutrition, of crop failures and of hyper-inflation. It was the Russian summer of 1999. Igor Komarov claims he will restore Russia's glory. But a stolen document reveals he is no saviour of the nation."@en
  • "It was the Russian summer of 1999, and the leader of the right-wing UPF Party, claims he will reform the currency, crack-down on crime and restore Russia's glory, but a stolen document from his desk reveals that this man is no saviour of the nation-but a new Adolf Hitler."
  • "An ex-CIA agent is sent to Moscow to stop the right-wing candidate from becoming the new Russian president."@en
  • "It is 1999 and Russia is on the edge of total implosion. Social and moral order has collapsed and what small semblance of control there is, is being imposed by mafia-like criminal gangs. While public opinion in the West is largely indifferent, the political analysts are less sanguine - Russian meltdown will make the disintegration of the Balkans look like the collapse of a cup-cake. Out of the chaos, however, a single charismatic voice is starting to be heard - that of Igor Komarov, a visionary patriot who claims he can restore Russia's greatness and bring prosperity to the masses. He even woos Western political leaders with a rather more realistic analysis of the way forward for Russia. Komarov is set to win the next election when a document is smuggled into the British Embassy in Moscow. It's called The Black Manifesto and it appears to show Komarov's secret agenda - his political blueprint is really Mein Kampf, the rebirth of Russia will be as a New Third Reich with Komarov as Fuhrer. But can the document be authenticated? And what can the Western Alliance's most secret Trilateral Commission do about it if it is? They need to find another voice the masses will listen to and obey rather than Komarov - an icon they can cleave to and trust. Once, not that long ago, he was called the Tsar. And so develops a thrilling and increasingly frightening adventure - Jason Monk, ex-CIA, who used to run agents into the Soviet Union, is recruited and slips back into Russia, into the desperate Moscow world of poverty, luxury, gangsters and prostitutes and underneath it all, the titanic power struggle to ensure the outcome of the forthcoming elections."@en

  • ""It was the summer they began dying of malnutrition. It was the summer of crop failures and of hyper-inflation. It was the Russian summer of 1999. Igor Komarov, leader of the right-wing UPF Party proposes himself as a human icon, claiming he will reform the currency, crack-down on crime and restore Russia's previous glory. But a stolen document from his desk reveals that this man is no saviour of the nation but a new Adolf Hitler. Officially the West can do nothing, but a group of Anglo-American patriarchs cannot stand by and watch history repeat itself."--Publisher description."
