Buzz Books. PUCI LA MOSCOVA. Ultimele zile ale lui Putin.

What might outside powers do to end Putin’s rule? This novel asks that through a made-up world crisis. It starts with the failed Wagner revolt of June 2023. The later killing of Evgheni Prigojin helps shape the plot. He led troops who fought for pay. In the story, these events suggest change must come from abroad. Russia’s armed forces might then choose not to defend Putin.

The French and US presidents weigh this with their spy chiefs. Real public figures face made-up tests of judgment and will. Made-up heroes act on the choices these leaders make. The story shows how they think and act under strain. It also shows how they deal with each other. This thriller asks what might happen, based on research. That research spans politics, armed forces and the economy. The book suits readers drawn to world affairs. It also suits those who like tales of power shifts. This edition forms part of the Buzz Books series.
