Resumen del Editor

"Black Sun is fascinating and has fearsome authenticity." (Frederick Forsyth, number one New York Times best-selling author)

"Thrilling and suspenseful." (Simon Sebeag Montefiore, New York Times best-selling author of The Romanovs)

For fans of Red Sparrow and Child 44 comes a chilling and cinematic thriller set in 1961 in one of the most secretive locations in Soviet history. Ten days before the test of largest nuclear device in history, a KGB officer must investigate the murder of one of the architects of the bomb, and unravel a conspiracy that could set the world on fire.

It is the dawn of the 1960s. In order to investigate the gruesome death of a brilliant young physicist, KGB officer Major Alexander Vasin must leave Moscow for Arzamas-16, a top-secret research city that does not appear on any map.

There he comes up against the brightest, most cutthroat brain trust in Russia who, on the orders of Nikita Khrushchev himself, are building a nuclear weapon with 3,800 times the destructive potential of the Hiroshima bomb. RDS-220 is a project of such vital national importance that, unlike everyone else in the Soviet Union, the scientists of Arzamas-16 are free to think and act, live and love as they wish...as long as they complete the project and prove to their capitalist enemies that the USSR now commands the heights of nuclear supremacy.

With intricately plotted machinations, secrets and surveillance, corrupt politicos and puppet masters in the Politburo, and one devastating weapon, Owen Matthews has crafted a timely, terrific, and fast-paced thriller set at the height - and in the heart - of Soviet power.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] Stunning debut...[Matthews'] marriage of fact and fiction is masterly." (The Times (London))

“Matthews, who really knows the Soviet world, evokes it with absolute authenticity...beautifully drawn.” (The Tablet)


"A rattlingly good yarn...Matthews has the uncanny ability to transport the reader back in time to the Soviet Union of 1961...a debut novel which deserves a wide readership.” (Daily Herald)

Engrossing and informative novel about nuclear.

Riveting novel that is inspired by actual Soviet nuclear activities that resulted in the banning of atmospheric testing. There are several murders in the privileged development city and of course many entertaining struggles and official festivities.
Puzzled how that tiny sample of radioactive material could be easily handled to be added to tea and had a short half-life or radiation but the vomit in the apartment remained lethal?
