Gold-Digger's Daughter (Paperback or Softback)

Fact: Russia needs IC chips to build weapons for modern warfare
Fact: Russia has no domestic supply of chips and is dependent on ICs smuggled from the West
Fact: For a country that sees itself as a superpower this must be unacceptable

The Golddigger’s Daughter is a fictional story set against this
factual background.

She felt that the cause was just. Why should America control
everyone’s access to microchips? In the modern world
it was like one country controlling everyone’s access to
food. Not fair! So she agreed to help a group tasked with the
development of a Russian domestic semiconductor industry. After
all, her mama was Russian, she spent half her life there, and she
knew the place and the people. Besides, the money was good.
Seemed like the right thing to do...

But then she discovers that she is working for Russian Deep
State: big men playing big games with big money. She fears that
the things that she knows may be a problem for some of them
— and that these are the kind of people who have few scruples
about addressing pesky liabilities. So she realizes that she must
get out. But how? This is not a kind of a job where you can just
give two weeks’ notice and walk away…
