Dust Jacket Reads" We are in the third uncertain summer of perestroika and clasnost. In Moscow, at a small British trade fair, a document changes hands: a sheaf of military secrets that can-if it arrives at its proper destination andif its import is understood-profoundly alter the course of world events. It is certain in any case to have an explosive effect on the lives of three people along the route. One is a Soviet physicist {code name: Bluebird} whose burden is his secet knowledge. One is the young Russian woman-the beautiful woman named Katya-to whom the papers have been enrusted. The third is an Englishman, Barley Blair-a drinker, a saxophone player, a derelict publisher, who is bewildered to discover that the papers are addressed to him and to find himself pressed into service by British Intelligence. His mission: to trace the document back to its source and ferret out the intention behind it.
