The Coming Years

Diplomat Andrei Muravyov receives confidential information: a group of domestic scientists has developed a project for an "incinerator" capable of safely disposing of radioactive waste. The amount of useful energy released in the process will exceed the output of any... nuclear power plant by hundreds of times. American corporations begin the hunt for this unique technology. It is unclear which side Europe is on, and there are insufficient funds in our country's budget to implement the project.

Muravyov will have to participate in a delicate diplomatic-spy game with the highest stakes. A game where you cannot trust anyone. A game where defeat is not considered at all. Industrial espionage, intrigues, surveillance, and assassination attempts. The dark side of the diplomatic and political worlds. This book is about how to remain a patriot of your country.

A spy detective, a political drama, and a detailed report on the profession of a diplomat. More than thirty characters. Hundreds of possible scenarios. And only one single chance to not mess it up. A fictional present and future of Russia through the eyes of a diplomat and participant in a grand geopolitical game. The final point in the novel is set in 2006. Any coincidences with real people and genuine events are purely coincidental.
