The Soviet States of America: Russian Efforts to Avert Nuclear War ~ Paperback ~ Joel Trumble

Moscow, Thursday, September 10th 7:47 A.M. Max Prokopchenko wasn't any different from most teens. He dreaded school, was lazy, and from time to time got himself into crazy situations. But nothing compared to what kind of bizarre scheme he found himself in when he joined the W.A.A.S.D. all for his best friend, Tamoyra Ulinova. What seemed like a normal student exchange program, turns out to be something out his wildest dreams. A Russian spy program designed to discretely send teenagers all over the world to stop international crimes and gather intellect under the identity of an average student. Now, with the help of 3 other members, Otto Kalanderishvili, Larissa Kosmachevshaia, and Kaden Rokitskaia, Max and Tamoyra have been given the instructions to solve an undercover case known only to the W.A.A.S.D. The first plan is that they must find information to stop the transfer of nuclear weapons from reaching Iran from the USA, for the fear of an all out nuclear war breaking out. As the teens come closer to fulfilling their mission, their information changes direction and assignments from Moscow. Then they encounter obstacles and tragedy amongst themselves and each have the option to return to Russia. After some thought to return to their homes in Russia the excitement of their mission draws them together again using their wits and skills to overcome some unimaginable obstacles and find themselves assisting the Russian FSB in other countries in the final showdown. But will their efforts be enough to prevent the mass destruction that Iran seeks to catalyze? Could something like this really happen?Author BiographyJOEL TRUMBLE was born in Taganrog Russia, moved to the US with his parents at 9 months.
