The Vostok Directive

A Political Thriller by David Grove

The Directive Was the Objective.

A Cold War conspiracy. A modern technological nightmare. A president with a secret worth killing for.

When Pittsburgh journalist Elena Alvarez uncovers a decades-old Soviet directive, she finds herself caught in a deadly conspiracy reaching from the streets of Pittsburgh to the highest levels of power in Washington.

With the help of a former CIA operative, a brilliant intelligence analyst, and an unlikely collection of allies, Elena must unravel a web of deception before the truth—and everyone who knows it—is silenced.

Part Cold War espionage, part modern techno-thriller, and part political conspiracy, The Vostok Directive is a story of secrets, betrayal, loyalty, and the dangerous pursuit of truth.
