The Nuclear Winter Man (Classified, you can't hide the truth forever)
Description

Among these tales is the story of Vladimir Valentinovich Alexandrov, a distinguished scientist who vanished in 1985 while attending a conference in Spain. The series explores the possibility that his theories on nuclear winter may have prompted intelligence agencies like MI6 or the CIA to eliminate him. Through the investigation led by a young KGB officer, Ilya Piankoff, the series exposes how high the stakes can be when nuclear war is a possibility. The factual information files included in the series such as biographies, witness statements, and debriefings allow readers to form their own conclusions about the events.
