Whoever rules Moscow, rules Russia . . .

A taste of freedom and power, a thirst for revenge, and love affairs old and new are the volatile elements that spark a new Russian revolution in this dazzling novel by Robert Moss, coauthor of the bestsellers The Spike and Monimbo and author of Death Beam.

Alexander Preobrazhensky -- Sasha -- is a man who loves his country but hates his government. Haunted by the legacy of his father, who was killed for trying to expose Soviet brutality in Prussia during World War II, Sasha grows up driven to avenge his death. Then Sasha's first love, the proud and innocent Tanya, is taken from him by the same government that took his father, and Sasha's hatred of the Soviet system deepens.

You fight power with power, and Sasha becomes single-minded in his pursuit of it. He lives for it. He marries for it. And he becomes the youngest general ever in the Soviet army. His secret desire for revenge never wanes -- yet he still has no clear plan.

Assigned to a diplomatic mission in New York City, Sasha experiences his first exhilarating sense of freedom. He also meets Elaine, the beautiful American woman who teaches him that love is an emotion even more powerful than hate. Later he fights in Afghanistan and is sickened to realize that the "workers' paradise" is little more than a living hell except for the privileged few. He meets others, others who are dissatisfied, who want -- demand -- change.

Soon Sasha's plan begin to take shape. Russia -- not to mention the world -- will never be the same again.

Stunningly written and brimming with suspense, Moscow Rules is an unusual portrait of the world behind the Iron Curtain and staggering testimony that people and their emotions are more powerful than any system.
