The Yermakov Transfer
About this ebook
The Trans-Siberian Express has left Moscow carrying the most powerful, closely guarded man in the Soviet Union. But not everyone on the train is who they claim to be, for an audacious plot has been hatched: to kidnap the President.
Tension aboard the train is at a maximum. The KGB has checked and double checked. But as Vasily Yermakov, the Soviet leader, tries to sleep on the first night in his cabin, he has an uneasy feeling that something is about to go wrong.

About the author
Derek Lambert was born in 1929, and served in the RAF for two and a half years, before becoming a foreign correspondent, travelling the world to exotic locations that later inspired his novels. His travels gave him first-hand knowledge of his material and it was his authentic tales of espionage that made him a household name and bestselling author. He spent the later years of his life in Spain, where he died in 2001 at the age of 71.
