While Leo remains behind in Russia, his wife & two daughters have the opportunity to travel to the United States as part of a "Peace Tour". However, there is more going on under the surface, and events suddenly take a tragic turn, leaving Leo reeling in grief. Despite Leo's determined attempts to travel to the U.S. to find out the truth of what really happened, he is denied and eventually finds himself working in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan, living in a partial opium-haze in order to dull his memories. The fact that I was able to read each book in this trilogy back-to-back made it flow a little more coherently for me. However, despite the hype of book #1, I never really was able to feel like I was "into" this series. I would agree that the first book was the best. All three have a rather dark, political conspiracy type theme, and I typically don't have anything against books of that type, but there was something about these that never really grabbed me. This third book in particular, had a promising beginning, and the ending, though rushed, wasn't too bad. But the middle, the portions in Afghanistan, just dragged on and on, and I flirted with giving up. I don't think this was a bad series, but I don't think it resonated much with me personally. Too dark, too depressing, too violent. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Für sein Land würde Leo Demidow alles tun. Für seine Frau würde er sterben. Für ihren Tod muss es inen Schuldigen geben. Und Leo wird ihn finden ... Moskau 1950. Der schwarze amerikanische Sänger Jesse Austin besucht die Sowjetunion, um sein idealistisches Bild des Kommunismus zu überprüfen. Damit Austin nicht hinter die Kulissen des für ihn inszenierten Alltags schauen kann, wird ihm Geheimdienstoffizier Leo Demidow an die Seite gestellt. Doch trotz Leos Einsatz kommt es fast zum Eklat. Fünfzehn Jahre später reist Demidows Frau Raisa mit ihren beiden Töchtern nach New York, wo ein Konzert sowjetischer und amerikanischer Schüler für Entspannung im Kalten Krieg sorgen soll. Auch Jesse Austin wurde eine Rolle in dem Spektakel zugewiesen. Der Abend endet mit mehreren Toten, und nur ein Mann weiß, was wirklich geschah: Agent 6. Und eines Tages wird Leo ihn finden.

The story was supposed to be about Leo Demidov finding his way to New York from Russia to find the true murderer of his wife. But, that didn’t start to happen until the very end of the book. Most of the time Leo was just stupid high on opium and barely getting through life, working for the Soviet Union in Afghanistan at a time when they were trying to overtake the country. Meanwhile, the author throws in filler stories with new characters that are suddenly introduced then killed off… ( )
