The Svalbard Passage is a uncommon work of fiction: the power and dramatic level of the writing are matched by the authenticity of the freelance writers' extraordinary knowledge of political reality; the result is a work of creativity and prophecy. Visitors of John Le Carré, Richard Condon, Ken Follett, and Robert Ludlum will see it amazing. The mysterious fatalities of an international expedition of glaciers climbers on the remote control face of the Spitsbergen glacier triggers what can be the first pre-emptive U.S. nuclear hit up against the Soviet Union. The string of incidents that follow movements quickly and brilliantly from cosmopolitan, placid Oslo to the war-game rooms of the Pentagon and gets to a terrifying climax on the icy wastes of Spitsbergen, above the north coast of Norway-and the Svalbard Passage. Captured in a terrifying net of brinksmanship are a worldly, chic Norwegian diplomat; a fiery and beautiful German journalist; an uncommitted American pacifist; a ruthless CIA agent; and an similarly ruthless Russian, a pawn of the KGB. Unknowingly, behaving out of these private compulsions, they bring the world to the edge of global disaster. From the weave of the richly atmospheric book of suspense works the stormy, sensual love account of Martin and Ulrike, fans who come to maturity in the face of annihilation.
