The Siberia Job
Autor Josh Havenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 iun 2023
A thrilling adventure inspired by true events, the impact of which continue to be felt to the present day.
After the demise of the Soviet Union, the newly established government privatises its industry by issuing vouchers to all of its citizens, giving them the chance to be shareholders in the country's burgeoning businesses.
For those living in abject poverty, the vouchers appear to be little more than pieces of paper. But for Texas businessman John Mills and his Czech companion, Petr Kovac, the chits suggest a lucrative potential. They travel to the furthest, coldest reaches of the country, roving from town to town with suitcases full of cash.
The two men quickly learn that the plan has complications - the auctions at which these vouchers are traded for actual shares have been planned at the most remote locations possible to deter outsiders from buying in. And when the Russian mafia and oligarchs catch wind of their successes, the stakes suddenly become deadly...
The Siberia Job charts a course through one of the most dramatic periods in recent Russian history, perfect for fans of Martin Cruz Smith, Joseph Kanon and Kathleen Kent.

Recenzii
Rip-roaring adventure set in post-communist Russia...Haven smartly portrays those chaotic, menacing times when the Soviet Union collapsed and for a while, nothing replaced it
One of the most original, well-written, and best-plotted post-Cold War stories I've read in years. Should be required reading for Washington's policy makers. A ground-breaking novel that redefines the conventional action/adventure, chase and escape genre
A terrific post-Soviet thriller, distinguished by its portrayal of the wild potential of 1990s Russia and the subversion of that potential into pure corruption, the consequences of which continue to reverberate in the present day.
Very entertaining and completely satisfying.
A colorful depiction of recent history wrapped in a comic caper. Think Donald Westlake with a Slavic accent.
Superb... Smart, fast, twisty and dangerous. Highly recommended.
