Where Sunflowers Stand: A pulse-pounding action espionage suspense thriller where the world hangs in the balance.

Description

A pulse-pounding action espionage suspense thriller where the world hangs in the balance.

Danger looms when Russian counterintelligence hunts for a spy within the Russian General Staff – Alex’s most prized asset in Moscow – a general code-named Rider. The trigger is the traitor in the Ukrainian General Staff in Kyiv, reporting to Moscow that the Ukrainians know of Russian war plans.

In the clandestine world of international espionage, what begins as a routine CIA assignment of Alex Curtner as the Chief of Station for Russia and Ukraine morphs into a personal struggle.

As the Russian invaders scar the beauty of the Ukrainian sunflower fields, Alex navigates the brutal realities of Moscow’s aggression and Ukraine’s daily fight for survival.

To discover the identity of the spy is a race against time. Alex must solve this mystery and track down the spy in Kyiv before the Russians can neutralize Rider. If he exposes this spy, Moscow will lose the feedback from their man, and Alex might save Rider. But if the Russians strike first, the CIA’s entire operation—and Alex himself—could be compromised.

With lives hanging in the balance, Alex faces a chilling truth: If the West continues slow-walking arms to Ukraine, succumbing to Russian nuclear blackmail, the Ukrainians might not entrust their fate to the courage of leaders in the West or to the whims of the next election. The ultimate weapons they relinquished for hollow security guarantees could reemerge, not as a deterrent but as a last, desperate gamble.

Alex faces a choice: continue navigating the game of geopolitics or push harder, risking his career to avert a scenario that could spiral into a global catastrophe.
