The Kamchatka Incident
(a techno thriller)
2028, Kamchatka, Russia — a landscape of fire, ice, and isolation — follows police Captain Ksenia Starikova and Major Nikita Rostov, who team up to investigate the gruesome death of an American heli-skier, when the only witness describes an unknown predator.
Their inquiries seem to lead to scientist Viktor Atlasov, whose resurrection of woolly mammoths and other extinct species has made him both a scientific sensation and a potential liability.
With political interests threatening to compromise the truth, the two investigators must determine the disturbing possibilities and how to stop it from killing again.

Reviews For The Kamchatka Incident
This is probably happening somewhere
as we speak...
Reviewed for Amazon, the United States on August 11, 2026
"This reader is not an expert in sci-fi but as such, found the story thought-provoking and engaging. Well researched in both the science of de-extinction and the environmental and sociopolitical setting of a remote, relatively unknown region, it kept me turning the pages and eager to see a sequel.
The main female character was relatable and appealing - along with her sexy but cautious co-investigator - and I hope to discover them both working on a new mystery soon.
A most unexpected twist to the tale opens a whole new door to the imagination that I hope the writer explores soon!"
A thought provoking thriller...
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2026
"The Kamchatka Incident is a suspenseful and intriguing read that pulls you in quickly and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. What I particularly enjoyed was the way the story goes beyond simply being a thriller—it raises thought-provoking questions about science, nature, human curiosity, and the consequences of pushing boundaries we may not fully understand.
The remote Kamchatka setting adds an incredible sense of isolation and tension, making the unfolding events feel even more unpredictable. There are plenty of moments that kept me turning the pages, but it was the larger questions the story left me thinking about afterward that really stayed with me. An engaging and thought-provoking book for anyone who enjoys suspense with a fascinating premise and a little something deeper beneath the surface."

Reviewed for Amazon, the United States on August 11, 2026
"Sci-fi set ten years in the future in Russia. Kindle had grammatical errors, but I looked forward to seeing how the author was going to bring the tale to its conclusion. Depending on which storyline a reader was interested in, only one storyline concluded. All the others were left dangling, along with the readers. There must be a volume two on the author's mind.
