Tor, the nyoungest and hardest to contr ol, is sent in disgrace to Moscow nwhere he becomes a black marke t dealer. Intrigue and political nmachinations abound, ending wit h the 1979 Soviet invasion and the nfamily's near-annihilation. A lthough none of the locales rings ntrue, bold characterization, s weeping action, strong plotting, and nsolid writing make this a f irst novel worth reading.

At Mangal's insistence, his nyounger sister Saira departs for New York just hours before the ncoup, while their petulant young bro ther Tor is sent to Moscow nUniversity, where he buries his resen tment by helping to expand an nalready black market. Five years l ater, after Mangal is lost during nanother uprising and the threa t of Soviet domination begins to loom nlarge over Afghanistan, To r returns to Kabul's treacherous streets nto rescue his parents a nd make contact with the rebel camp, while nSaira foolishly share s secrets with her Russian lover, shattering nthe lives of her fa mily by helping the Soviets strike at the heart nof the resistanc e.
