Product Description
In the heart of the Cold War, they sent him to plot the ultimate assassination. Now they want him dead... It is 1953. Joseph Stalin, the world's most tyrannical dictator, is teetering on the edge of insanity, and about to plunge the world into nuclear chaos. Only one man and one woman can penetrate the Iron Curtain and stop this madman, before it's too late. But someone inside the Kremlin knows. And as the KGB's deadliest manhunter pursues these two CIA-hired assassins, another duel unfolds, between secret warriors of the West and East, with a U.S. agent caught in between. Now that agent must do the unthinkable: find his way to the heart of the Soviet Union and stop the mission he himself set in motion-before it ignites World War III.

Format:Paperback
This is an outstanding book! It has a wonderful combination of a fasciniating and exciting espionage story, viewed at times in a wonderfully nostalgic background through the eyes of Anna Khorev. The novel also takes us to some fascinating areas of the world, and describes them beautifully. I whole-heartedly recommend it. The plot is primarily set in the post-war USSR, where the CIA have plotted to kill Joseph Stalin (Operation Snow Wolf), the mission being coordinated by Jake Massey, who enlisted the aid of Alex Slanksi and Anna Khorev, with the KGB under Levrente Beria attempting to thwart them at every opportunity. The characters are well developed, as are the relationships between them. And, in spite of its length, the novel remains fast paced, and addictive. I couldn't put it down.

This book is amazing just like the two others that I've read:Sakkara and Branderburg. Meade has a great talent on II.WW and pre and post scenarios. He is really very good at this. I love the reality in the scenario and the way of telling and the fluency. He makes become a character in the story too. He is the best in his area.

I read this about 3 years ago and thought it was absolutely first class. I like book s with twists that i simply don't see coming and this has one of the best twists ever. It is one of those books that you simply do not want to stop reading (even when you know you have work the next morning and aught to sleep)
ALthough i had a copy already, my local bookstore was selling autographed copies of Snow wolf and so i bought one. Maybe some day it might be worth something...
In summmary, if you like thrillers then this is essential.
