内容简介：
After the murder of his wife, Major Mikhail Minnik of the Russian Army and his brother-in-law, Captain Third Rank Yevgeny Andreev of the Navy, are sent by Mikhail's commander, General Georgii Fedorov, to Moscow on the TransSiberian Express. They have specific instructions to look for contraband nuclear weapons and if they find any to inform Fedorov so that they can be seized. The train is stalled in Siberia to await the arrival of a Russian general transporting a suspicious cargo. Helped by an American nuclear scientist-Arthur "Scottie" Campbell, whom they had rescued from Chechen bandits-they discover the contraband and witness its surprising and unintended disposal.
