Oksana is a pawn in a chess game she doesn't fully comprehend, one she can't escape.
The young Ukrainian spy recruited by Russia's SVR purposely fails in her assignment to obtain the coordinates of a lost nuclear bomb from Mykola, a Ukrainian American immigrant who had traveled to Crimea to locate the bomb. Instead, Oksana falls in love with her target and must defect to the U.S. or risk imprisonment or death as a traitor to Russia. While Mykola's Ukrainian friend, Vladyslav, fights with the Ukrainian resistance against the pro-Russian separatists, Russian agents search for their elusive spy in the U.S.
In Bomb Cyclone by J.A. Adams, we experience Ukraine's plight, from the dissolution of the USSR, through the Orange and Euromaidan Revolutions, to the election of the young President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, until the current Russian war against Ukraine. Meanwhile, Oksana and Mykola try to evade the long reach of Russia's arms on the other side of the Atlantic.

Born in Ohio, J.A. Adams has been immersed in various cultures while living on the east, west, and gulf coasts. After completing a Ph.D. and a sixteen-year teaching career in English composition and literature at Louisiana State University, Adams is happily retired in Colorado to a full-time writing avocation. The author's debut novel, Pillars of Salt, grew out of observing and becoming enamored with Louisiana's delightful Cajun culture.
Inspiration for Adams' latest novel, Bomb Cyclone, arose after Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. The novel addresses the effect of the resulting unrest on Mykola, a Ukrainian American émigré, and the beautiful spy sent by the SVR to acquire coordinates for a lost bomb that Mykola has apparently discovered.
