Thrillers

Based on the true story of whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Time of the Octopus by Anatoly Kucherena is a gripping political thriller inspired by the Edward Snowden saga. Trapped in Moscow’s airport, fugitive Joshua Kold faces interrogation about his revelations on global surveillance, exposing a chilling 1984-like world.

Anatoly Kucherena’s Time of the Octopus is a chilling and thought-provoking exploration of power, surveillance, and morality. Inspired by his own experience representing Edward Snowden, Kucherena blends fiction with reality to create a compelling story about fugitive whistleblower Joshua Kold.

Trapped in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, Kold’s intense interrogation reveals the terrifying reach of global surveillance and totalitarian control. With echoes of 1984 and infused with philosophical depth, the novel raises urgent questions about freedom and oppression in the 21st century.

A must-read for fans of political thrillers and those intrigued by the Snowden revelations.
