The devil's alternative : a reissue

As the Russian people face starvation, the Politburo is faced with a hard choice: negotiate with America for food, go to war for national survival, or deal with an uprising in the motherland. Through an informant, British Agent Adam Munro learns that the situation is growing dangerously tense, with powerful forces in the USSR maneuvering for supremacy. But even as East and West conduct delicate talks, events spiral out of control and threaten to undo every step taken. The world's largest oil tanker is hijacked by terrorists, and a Ukrainian "freedom fighter" is rescued in a bloody catastrophe on the Black Sea. From Moscow to Washington, the stakes grow ever more perilous as the mad actions of a few threaten to engulf the entire world in nuclear war--unless Munro can stop them.

  • "1982-1983. Un Ukrainien dissident prépare un complot terroriste, les membres du ##Politburo## de Moscou font face à une famine générale pour leur pays, le président des Etats-Unis va-t-il réagir positivement vis-à-vis ce dernier problème ou sera-t-il influencé par son entourage? D'autre part, les services secrets britanniques, en U.R.S.S., ont une antenne à l'intérieur du Kremlin et la Norvège s'apprête à lancer le plus gros ##super tanker## de pétrole qu'on n'ait jamais vu. Ces cinq aventures ou intrigues convergentes s'étalent, en ce gros roman, par un suspense crescendant écrit par un très habile romancier. Politique-fiction animée par l'espionnage, dans un avenir à court terme plausible. Quelques passages longuets, à notre avis, mais un solide bouquin tout de même."
