Description

At the heart of Soviet power, a secret city is home to some of the Union's most brilliant minds. Arzamas-16 is a place where scientists and technicians are building the world's most powerful nuclear device - three thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima.

A young physicist's body is found dead, containing enough radioactive poison to kill thousands. The authorities believe it's suicide, but Moscow is alarmed by what's happening in this isolated place. KGB major Alexander Vasin is sent to investigate, where he'll face off against some of the Soviet Union's most brilliant minds - eccentrics, patriots and dissidents who are granted freedom to think and act as they wish.

This fast-paced thriller is a gripping tale of intrigue and suspense, set at the height of Soviet power. With its intricate research and cunning plot, Black Sun is a compelling read for fans of espionage and historical thrillers.
