"[A] rip-roaring adventure set in post-communist Russia ... Haven smartly portrays those chaotic, menacing times when the Soviet Union collapsed and for a while, nothing replaced it.-- ""Financial Times"" A breathless, globetrotting thriller that's also a mesmerizing look at Russia's transformation from Soviet socialism to modern-day kleptocracy. Vivid, ingenious, and suspenseful to the last page.--Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire A colorful depiction of recent history wrapped in a comic caper. Think Donald Westlake with a Slavic accent.-- ""Kirkus"" (3/14/2023 12:00:00 AM) A taut thrill ride through post-Soviet Russia.... Haven takes a complex subject and boils it down to a simple premise, then mixes in the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up elements that elevate it to high adventure. Don't sleep on this one!-- ""Cemetery Dance Magazine"" (6/2/2023 12:00:00 AM) A terrific post-Soviet thriller, distinguished by its portrayal of the wild potential of 1990s Russia and the subversion of that potential into pure corruption, the consequences of which continue to reverberate in the present day.--Martin Cruz Smith, bestselling author of The Siberian Dilemma and other Arkady Renko novels A wild ride through the Russian hinterlands after the collapse of the Soviet Union ... Haven paints a vivid portrait of hustlers and crooks at a world geopolitical turning point.-- ""CrimeReads"" An astonishing story, excitingly told, and all too close to the reality of Russia in the murderous 1990s.--Charles Cumming, New York Times bestselling author of JUDAS 62 Very entertaining and completely satisfying.-- ""Booklist"" (5/1/2023 12:00:00 AM) The Siberia Job is one of the most original, well-written, and best-plotted post-Cold War stories I've read in years. Should be required reading for Washington's policy makers. A ground-breaking novel that redefines the conventional action/adventure, chase and escape genre.--Nelson DeMille, New York Times #1 bestselling author of The Maze As Russia privatized all state owned companies after the fall of the Soviet Union, a few dozen intrepid Western investors showed up hoping to cash in on the most undervalued investment opportunity in the history of capital markets. Unfortunately, the reality proved to be much more challenging, unpredictable and dangerous than anyone could have imagined. Thrilling and suspenseful, The Siberia Job tells a lightly fictionalized account of a few of those early investors, navigating dishonest and xenophobic officials, and Russia's enormous geography to claim a stake in what would become the largest and most profitable energy company in the world. Their narrative captures the sense of danger and adventure and is storytelling intrigue at its very finest.--Bill Browder, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Red Notice"
