-You-re a rebel and in this business, rebels areeither extremely good or extremely dead....-
1939. The storm clouds of war are gathering over Europe and the conundrum faced is whether the Soviet Union will reach a peace concord with Nazi Germany. How can Britain plan for war with Germany without knowing Stalin-s intentions?
The Baltic states hold the key and in particular Russia-s old Grand Duchy, Finland. One man can make a difference and Alex Carlton is recruited by MI2 (the division of Military Intelligence that deals with Russia and Scandinavia) to go undercover in Finland to gain insight into Finnish intentions; but will Alex-s past be a help or hindrance?
As he progresses through training and prepares for his mission, Alex-s life becomes complicated by love and intrigue that nearly derails his assignment- and that would upset Winston Churchill himself!
