- Description
- Dr. Alex Cousins, a famous American cancer specialist, is secretly dispatched to Moscow by the President of the United States. His mission: to prolong the life of Viktor Dimitrov, Secretary General of the Politburo, who is dying of leukemia. Once Dimitrov's condition has improved, the wily old politican encourages the doctor to leave Russia via the spectacular Trans-Siberian Express - across two continents, then to Japan and over the Pacific. His compartment is a foreign and fabulous world, and into it comes Anna Petrovna, a magnificent Russian beauty who fascinates Alex from their first meeting. But as the miles slip by, this journey becomes a living nightmare. The conspiracy which he had only suspected back at Dimitrov's dacha outside Moscow has followed Cousins onto the train. Trapped, incessantly watched by a cadre of KGB agents, he has no one to turn to but his fellow passengers, who twisted reasons for riding the Trans-Siberian Express become tragically enmeshed with his own desperate flight--Adapted from dust jacket flaps.
