Description

Set against the tumultuous decades of the early 20th century, Polostan is a richly detailed and entertaining historical epic that marks the beginning of a captivating new series from Neal Stephenson.

The story follows Dawn Rae Bjornberg, born to a clan of cowboy anarchists, as she navigates a complex web of intrigue and international espionage. From her early years in post-Revolution Leningrad to her teenage years in Montana, Dawn's life is shaped by her father's party-line Leninist ideology and her own experiences in the streets of Washington, D.C. during the Great Depression.

A surprising revelation about her past puts Dawn in the crosshairs of U.S. authorities, forcing her to return to Russia and become embroiled in the world of espionage. As she is groomed as a spy by the organization that later becomes the KGB, Dawn's journey takes her on a path of discovery and deception.
