Description

A Cold War spy thriller about the most daring plot ever attempted – the abduction of the Soviet leader by dissidents aboard the Trans-Siberian Express.
The Trans-Siberian Express has left Moscow carrying the most powerful, closely guarded man in the Soviet Union. But not everyone on the train is who they claim to be, for an audacious plot has been hatched: to kidnap the President.
Tension aboard the train is at a maximum. The KGB has checked and double checked. But as Vasily Yermakov, the Soviet leader, tries to sleep on the first night in his cabin, he has an uneasy feeling that something is about to go wrong.
