Cold Warrior by Robert Tucker
During the 1970s and 80s, the Soviet Union penetrated the corporate economy and
financial systems of the United States to engage in industrial espionage.
COLD WARRIOR by Robert Tucker is a riveting novel about Kasia Kerenski, a young Russian emigre who is born in America with her parents as potential KGB spies. As a talented street mime, she is suddenly “discovered” to work as an aspiring Hollywood actress.
Coerced into becoming a double agent for both the KGB and the CIA, she is trapped
between two opposing international clandestine plots – one to uncover a mole in the CIA,
and an attempt by the KGB to foment regime change through a revolution in Pinochet’s
corrupt Chile.
Kasia struggles against her shrewd operators on both sides who exploit her new
Hollywood celebrity status. Her subsequent marriage to prominent film director,
Michael Sloan manipulates her journey to a production in South America that is not
what it appears to be.
Cold Warrior is a compelling love story, and an espionage thriller of global financial
corruption and ruthless cold war political intrigue.

“As the grandson of immigrants who fled persecution in Germany and Austria-Hungary and came to America during the early 1900’s, the early history of our country and the rise of the middle-class have always held a fascination for me. The dramatic depiction of fictional characters placed in actual events sharply and realistically bring alive the harsh times and adversity of the multitude of people who sought freedom and a better way of life and demonstrate that only a little over one-hundred years have passed to bring us to where we are as a struggling society today.”
“The chronology and events of history have captured and held my interest for many reasons, among them being stories that entertain, educate, and inform. Learning about the lives of my immigrant grandparents coming to America from Czechoslovakia during the early 1900s and the lives of my parents during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s provided the initial motivation. Researching and writing historical fiction is a way to learn more about myself and my origins and the social, political, and economic influences related to my generation.”
“Whether writing historical fiction or non-fiction or fantasy, I’m drawn into the societies and cultures of a particular period that inspire the creation of characters who bring that era to life. Not only do I experience this dynamic in books, but in films, plays, dance, music, and other art forms.”
“Researching history takes me into the exploration of new territory perhaps outside of my own life experience through reading other sources, interviews, travel, and films. Although a number of fine books are written from personal experience by authors who lived through those times, much of the historical writing by contemporary authors is dependent on secondary sources. Forays into the past for story material is a rewarding part of the creative process.”
