GHOST DIRECTIVE

The Price of Love

De: Nikolay Ignatiev

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

From the author of BLOOD AND CAVIAR—a #1 Bestseller in Historical Russian Fiction—comes a gripping international thriller where power is engineered, loyalty is expendable, and love is the most dangerous variable of all.

“The future cannot be predicted. It must be managed.”

The Cold War ended without settling old scores.

As the European Union is born—fragile, untested, and divided—new power struggles begin not at the borders, but from within. Peace was never the goal. Control was.

From the ruins of collapsing empires rises Adrian Porosh, a technocrat who believes chaos, faith, and freedom are obsolete. His system—Terra Nova—will manage humanity itself, one doctrine, one algorithm, one life at a time.

Across a fractured Europe, a man trained to disappear is forced to break his code.

Known only as Ghost, covert operator Attila Keller has survived years of sanctioned violence by staying invisible. But when a woman and her child become collateral damage in Terra Nova’s experiment, Ghost makes the one mistake no system can allow—he chooses mercy.

Now hunted by the forces that created him, Ghost forms an uneasy alliance with Russian intelligence officer Major Ivan Chernov to expose Porosh’s growing machine. From Budapest’s riverfront shadows to Washington’s corridors of power, their pursuit uncovers a conspiracy hidden behind eco-activist movements, digital finance, and global NGOs—an architecture of control selling salvation through design.

As Europe’s new union is quietly pulled apart by competing interests, engineered crises, and hidden handlers, Ghost must decide whether one act of defiance can outweigh a lifetime of obedience—and how much he is willing to sacrifice for the one thing he can’t kill.

GHOST DIRECTIVE: A shadow-drenched international thriller fusing le Carré’s moral ambiguity with Clancy’s razor-sharp tactical intensity—set at the treacherous dawn of 1990s globalization, where power brokers and ghosts collide.

For fans of The Night Manager, I Am Pilgrim, and Sicario.

Book One of The Terra Nova Cycle.
