- Book 1 of 2: The Terra Nova Cycle
Our way of life has never been threatened by monsters. Only by ordinary people convinced they are doing the right thing.
The Terra Nova Cycle explores one possible answer to why centuries of war have never broken the cycle of violence — and why every promise of peace has given birth to new reasons to hate.
From the author of Blood and Caviar, a #1 Bestseller in Historical Russian Fiction, comes a shadow-drenched international thriller where power is engineered, loyalty is expendable, and love is the most dangerous variable of all.
As the European Union is born — fragile, untested, and divided — new power struggles begin not at the borders, but from within. Terra Nova promises to manage humanity itself, one doctrine, one algorithm, one life at a time.
Across a fractured Europe, former Navy SEAL Attila Keller—known only as Ghost—has survived years of sanctioned violence by remaining invisible. But when his path collides with Terra Nova, he is forced into an uneasy alliance with GRU officer Major Ivan Chernov. He needs Chernov to survive. But as the truth comes to light, the alliance becomes more dangerous than either man understands.
From Budapest’s riverfront shadows to Washington’s corridors of power, their pursuit exposes a hidden architecture of control — built through eco-activist movements, digital finance, global NGOs, and the quiet machinery of power selling salvation through design.
Five Star Reader Reviews:
“A gripping, intelligent political thriller — absolutely worth your time.”
“Ghost is a brilliant creation. My favourite find of 2025.”
“Utterly engrossing political thriller.”
“A rare rival to Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne.”
Ghost Directive: The Price of Love is the origin novel of The Terra Nova Cycle — the story of the choice that turned Ghost from an invisible weapon into Terra Nova’s greatest threat. A geopolitical espionage thriller for readers of Robert Ludlum, Brad Thor, Daniel Silva, and Cold War political suspense.
