Daisies In Hell: Love, Hope and Treachery in 2039

Masha, a Russian ex-patriot, was now with the SIS -- the storied British secret information service. On assignment in Moscow, she and her co-agent Thor were in a race against time. The menace of the hemisphere, a seeming genius to his most informed adversaries, had the rest of the world, and certainly Europe, at his evident disposal. Now, as age was numbering his final days, he appeared to want to leave no one behind, no one to mock him at his grave. Everything was on the line, you name it: Love, country, family, not to mention anything resembling freedom. Although Masha viewed him as pretty much a die-hard womanizer, attracted to any comely female in sight, Thor was actually determined . . . to eventually win the heart of his partner in espionage, a noble beauty at once cunning and refined. But would she have him? . . . And would they live to see?
