BOOK DESIGN BY: Nicola Mazzella. SYNOPSIS: That something big was in the wind, the various intelligence agencies of the U.S., Western Europe and Eastern Asia were agreed. Also, it would happen sometime in the current year. But what or exactly when, nobody knew. In the eyes of many, the game was nearing its end. But endgames have a perplexing tendency to suddenly go either way. At this stage of this particular endgame, there was no latitude for error. - and - James P. Hogan, author of the national bestseller The Proteus Operation, has written a powerful story of suspense, intrigue and imagination--his most compelling new novel yet. It is the near future. With its power and influence on the wane, the Soviet Union has launched a new technological wonder into orbit around the Earth: Valentina Tereshkova, a giant space station capable of housing 12,000 citizens. But is the mammoth off-world colony the peaceful Utopian experiment it's alleged to be? Or is it in reality the last ditch attempt by a crumbling superpower to achieve its hundred-year-old dream of global domination? Responding to rumors of doomsday weapons hidden on board, U.S. computer scientist Paula Bryce and government agent Lew McCain are dispatched to the gargantuan complex. Their mission is to determine the Tereshkova's true purpose. But in spite of their disguises, they are arrested almost immediately and held captive within the station's awesome prison facility. There, Bryce and McCain join with a brilliant and eccentric group of dissident inmates in a covert operation to unlock the secrets of the mysterious space wheel. Secrets which, surprisingly, seem to uphold the Soviet claim of peaceful non-aggression. But why are Communist troops back on Earth involved in the largest military mobilization since the end of World War II? And for what reason is the power structure of the USSR being transported en masse to the Tereshkova? And what plans does the Soviet leadership have for the anniversary of the Russian Revolution? In an international powder keg, even unconfirmed suspicions could force a terrifying first strike, while the only hope for mankind rests with two Americans trapped in a prison they can't possibly escape. Endgame Enigma once again reveals James P. Hogan as a consummate storyteller and master of suspense fiction. Packed with serpentine plot twists, surprising revelations and edge-of-the-chair excitement, here is a truly original, all too plausible look at a frightening yet fascinating future. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
