About the Book Colonel Viktor A. Kovalenko, a widowed honorable Russian Intelligence officer and new commander of the Chelyabinsk military installation, has discovered that a nuclear bomb is missing from the base storage vault. Viktor sets out on a complex and draining clandestine journey to an FBI safe house in Brooklyn, New York, where he discovers that his beautiful daughter Karina, rejected by the Bolshoi but now dancing for the New York Ballet Company, has disappeared. Inspired by Philip L. Rettew’s experience seeing the 9/11 attacks in Manhattan in real time, The Kovalenko Secret is a compelling and richly detailed story demonstrating the nature of current and historical differences among cultures, nations, politics, and religions as an international cast of characters reveals their versions of reality during the most devastating terrorist attack in all of human history.
