{"product_id":"2940151074520","title":"THE GAMOV INCIDENT","description":"The Cold War is over and CIA officer Cody Ballantine, exiled to the newly opened consulate in the Russian Far East, receives an unexpected visitor. In a conference room overlooking Golden Horn Bay, Andrei Danilov, a distinguished looking older gentleman, claims to be Captain Andrew Thompson, an American aviator, perhaps the lone survivor of a reconnaissance aircraft shot down by Soviet MiGs in 1954.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA cautiously skeptical Ballantine sends Danilov's photograph, Air Force serial number, and fingerprints to CIA headquarters. But no official records--other than the shootdown near Cape Gamov--exist to verify Danilov's claim. With little documentation, Ballantine must resolve troublesome questions: How could an American MIA survive and prosper in Siberia for 38 years? On the other hand, might Danilov be an ex-MVD officer, perhaps one who interrogated the real Captain Thompson? Is this a scheme by a crafty opportunist to ressurect a man long presumed dead and thus lay claim to back pay, military retirement and U.S. citizenship?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gamov Incident describes Ballantine's effort to unravel a decades-old mystery while coping with emotional conflict arising from a troubled past.","brand":"BookLocker.com, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102455709936,"sku":"2940151074520","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151074520_p0.jpg?v=1763758193","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151074520","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
