A Sometimes Strange Story
Summary
A wise scholar once said, "There is a plan for each one of us outside of our control. From the moment we are born, we are set on our own predetermined road. Anything we would do could help or interfere. It may delay the passage, but we would never stray off its course. We would always come back and move along again." If a 19-year-old man listened to his instincts and took a different turn in Vienna, his entire life would have changed.... He finds himself in the foreign country on the other side of the globe. He doesn't know anything about his adoptive land, he is all alone in the entire universe. A sequence of random encounters leads to unexpected events in his life. Within a few short weeks, the man finds a job, a new home, a university to go to, and even a girl. All without speaking the language. "If I told my college buddies back in Russia that I slept with an American girl, they would've thought I was out of my mind," were his thoughts, studying his naked friend peacefully sprawled on the bed next to him. The pace of his life intensifies with every new encounter, until one day, the young man finds himself in Italy. He must adapt to yet another country. He is thrown in the midst of other people's lives, and becoming a part of it.

The American Deluge
Summary
Russian Election Meddling!
For the past year, there's been a non-stop barrage of this headline. Everyone has heard or seen it. Surprisingly, there was no need for the meddling. It's been going on much longer than most people realize.
On January 20, 2009, a new occupant had moved into the White House. The transition of power from the previous administration had been orderly and uneventful, and on the surface, seemed to move smoothly through the process as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.
What millions of Americans couldn't know was that a few years before the new president was born, another man had been offered two lives to live. His choice would change the lives of every man, woman and child on our planet. Many famous assassinations had been left behind in the wake of his ascension. He destroyed many large individual fortunes and the economies of some countries.
He could have chosen the winning numbers of any lottery ticket, but instead he chose to play Wall Street, the biggest gamble and most lucrative game of them all. Perhaps, it was his reward for surviving many hellish years and being able to come back unscathed. He then established himself as a power broker.
On that very day of the inauguration, he also just happened to be in town...and was less than a mile away from the Oval Office.
There are no coincidences! There are no twists of fate! And there is nothing that just happens…without someone orchestrating the outcome!

Summary
Spying game never stops.The war is in the cyberspace now. The payouts are in crypto currency. But a good, old assassination cannot be replaced by anything. “How much time do I have left to live?” asked the man. “You are the property of Mother Russia! We’ll tell you when to die,” his handler replied. The year is 2016. The presidency is up for grabs, again. Once, the man had engineered the election of the first black American president. After eight years of the oblivion, they called on him to prevent losing to an outsider. Just like before, death, destruction, and a trail of assassinations follow him. This time, it hits home. When the man learns that his KGB handlers are after an innocent young woman close to him, he sets out to save her life. Soon he finds that she, too, joined the assassin's trade to avenge the deaths of her own. Russian election meddling is here again. There was no need for the meddling. It has been going on much longer than most people realize. The novel is a sequel to The American Deluge, published in 2014. Audiobook published in 2017.
