Explosive New Novel Tracks NATO Agents Hunting Russian Election Hijackers

Cold War II is the first fictional take on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election from the point of view of the investigators. Written around true events, it connects distinct events to weave a fascinating international tale of danger and political intrigue.

Washington, United States - September 12, 2017 /PressCable/ —

As the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 American election vastly expand in the U.S. Congress and the Justice Department – a fictional account of the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is making waves in official Washington.

The novel, Cold War II by Cathy Travis, offers uncanny insight into the variety of ways Russia could have intervened in the U.S. election.

“Obviously this is fiction,” Travis conceded. “But people never hear about the essence of an investigation like this, only the activities that go with the final findings. Currently, that involves public hearings, formal subpoenas and grand jury witnesses behind closed doors. Beyond that, it will be public trials and reports.”

While the dynamics of any formal international investigation into a foreign actor’s effort to thwart a democratic election would remain hidden from public view, Travis – a writer who spent 25 years on Capitol Hill and who worked with a number of national security experts there – has used her experience and insights to weave a fascinating tale around true events.

“A number of national law enforcement and national security officers have confided that it is uncannily close to the actual machinations of the years-long investigation into Russian election interference that was first successful in the Brexit vote, before they succeeded in undermining the U.S. election,” Travis said.

“Candidly, that should scare everybody to death,” she added. “Or everybody who loves democracy.”

COLD WAR II, a fictional story woven around real world events, is the first untold account of how the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election could have unfolded.

This fast-paced tale of international intrigue offers a clearer look in the rearview mirror for Britain and the United States … and offers a look around the curve at what can come for democracies around the world.

News stories about Russian interference in democratic elections cascaded in 2017 – after the unanimous conclusion in January by the U.S. national security and law enforcement agencies that Russia not only influenced the 2016 election … Russia also weighed in on the side of the Donald J. Trump campaign.
