As the dust settles after the demise of the Cold War, Charlie Muffin must thwart a plan that could bring the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust It's been more than five years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Charlie Muffin, Britain's cagiest spy, is beginning to feel obsolete. As the machine of state intelligence is dismantled around him, he expects that he too will soon wind up on the scrap heap. But Britain needs him in Russia one more time.   Since the collapse of the Soviet state, Charlie's old stomping grounds have gone to seed. The famous Communist bureaucracy is in tatters, and vicious corruption, coupled with easy money, means that disorder reigns. In the anarchy, a bit of uranium has gone missing—250 kilograms, in fact—and it's Charlie's job to find it before it's detonated.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
