February 2014: Russian troops have seized Crimea without firing a shot, but the scent of budding violence permeates the air.

Sergeant Viktor Belov and the members of Squad B guard a lonely checkpoint. Euromaidan activists and young lovers Danilo and Angelina run from a tightening police dragnet. An aging Tatar farmer faces increasing hostility from a bigoted militia leader. Two Western journalists hunt for the reason why 30,000 Russian soldiers suddenly annexed the Black Sea Peninsula.

Their paths collide in an explosive showdown that forever changes their lives. Russia’s regional power-play might take place on a massive scale, but it is the small, individual stories of Tea in Crimea that illustrate the true impact of modern, international politics.

From the Author:

"Tea in Crimea tells the story of what happens when normal, everyday people are suddenly forced to reconcile with the fact that 30,000 masked soldiers have invaded their country.

"Moreover, how does such an invasion play out in a part of the world that has experienced some of the worst genocides and ethnic cleansing in modern history? How does the average person react when they are suddenly at the tip of the spear in a foreign policy power play?

"Tea in Crimea is a political thriller (with, I admit, some literary aspirations) that tries to answer those questions while following a cadre of disparate, yet compelling characters who are all on a collision course for one another. And when they do collide? The result is equal parts jarring and (I hope) elucidating."
