The Change Agent

The thrilling adventures of a Soviet agent in Spain in the 1930s and a young journalist in Russia in the 1970s are so intricately woven with mysticism and luxurious details in Shishkin's spy thriller that even Graham Greene might have smiled approvingly had he been transported through time by the mysterious Change Agent to read this book.

The golden idol of the Maya civilization ends up in the hands of the main character after centuries, altering the future according to the latest laws of physics, and casts a fantastic and bloody shadow over all events.
