Revolutionary spy saga across fractured ideologies

If you love big, brainy historical fiction with momentum, this feels like a thrilling ride through political upheaval and personal reinvention. Dawn’s life is especially compelling because she belongs everywhere and nowhere, moving between America and Russia with a crackling sense of danger. It has that Neal Stephenson appeal of ambitious ideas meeting vivid, chaotic history, while still giving you a heroine whose shifting identity keeps the whole story charged.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The first installment in a speculative fiction series, Polostan follows the early life of the enigmatic Dawn Rae Bjornberg. Born in the American West to a clan of cowboy anarchists, Dawn is raised in Leningrad after the Russian Revolution by her Russian father, a party line Leninist who re-christens her Aurora. She spends her early years in Russia but then grows up as a teenager in Montana, before being drawn into gunrunning and revolution in the streets of Washington, D.C., during the depths of the Great Depression. When a surprising revelation about her past puts her in the crosshairs of U.S. authorities, Dawn returns to Russia, where she is groomed as a spy by the organization that later becomes the KGB.
