O knihe

Fiction often mirrors truth. And you get just as close as you want to be to nonfiction

in this fast-paced novel that turned the turmoil surrounding the U.S. Bobsled

Federation into shocking international intrigue. The pace is faster than a sled on

ice and it races from Lake Placid, New York to the burrow of the CIA at Langley,

Virginia to rebelling Latvia and its ancient rift with the Soviet Union during the final

days of the Cold War. It's scary enough to set even a seasoned CIA agent's hair on

end.

Cold War history was made in Riga, Latvia when the Soviet Minister of

Sports made an astonishing statement at a press conference he and Miller held to

announce that the Soviet Bobsled Team would visit Lake Placid to take part in

the 10th anniversary of the 1980 Olympic Games. When asked: Who invited the

Americans to the Soviet Union, the Minister of Sports responded: I did not invite

the Americans. The Latvian Socialist State debated for three months about how

to handle the invitation and they made the decision to invite the Americans

without first seeking permission from Moscow. It is believed that this was the first

public statement made by a Soviet Official that Latvia would no longer be under

Moscow's rule! The Minister of Sports was later executed for crimes against the

Soviet government.

A novel that is difficult to put down once you begin to read!
