Synopsis:
A fast-paced thriller that involves the illegal flow of nuclear scientists to terrorist countries that seek mass-destruction capabilities.
In 1986, because of Secretary General Gorbachev's glasnost policies, an increasing number of cases of bribery, embezzlement and other economic crimes begin to surface throughout the Soviet Union.
Many high-level government officials are already in jail because of their illegal involvement in the Uzbek Cotton Affair, where millions of rubles have mysteriously disappeared. Now, together with the money problem, nuclear scientists start to disappear.
As part of the Special Investigations Department (SID) of the Procurator-General's office, Colonel Vladimir Antonovich is tasked to stop the illegal flow of scientists, whether they are voluntary or otherwise.
As a member of a newly formed special committee, Vladimir prepares a trap to snare the bureaucrat(s) that might be involved in the kidnappings.
Before it is over, many on the special committee are dead, and more scientists have been kidnapped, including Vladimir's wife, Aleksandra, who is also a nuclear scientist.
World leaders are terrified at the prospect of nuclear scientists ending up in Libya, Iraq, Iran or other countries where terrorists seek mass-destruction capabilities.
Learning of a new shipment of kidnapped scientists, Colonel Antonovich forms a tiger team. He rushes for the Sheremetyevo Airport, where he suspects his wife and the other scientists are being held, awaiting some secret flight.
En route to the airport, important questions taunt Colonel Antonovich. Will he make it to his wife and the other scientists before they are loaded aboard an airplane and smuggled out of country, or will they all be killed before or during an expected firefight?
