From the back cover:

"Konstantin Andreiovich Skvorecky was one of a group of Russian SF writers called together by Josef Stalin in 1946 and tasked with creating a convincing alien threat; a story of imminent disaster that would unite the Soviet peoples.

Months later the writers were told to stop and, on pain of death, to forget everything; everything they had imagined, everything that had happened, ever being asked.

Little is known of what happened to the writers subsequently but in 1986 Skvorecky made a dramatic reappearance at Cernobyl claiming that everything that he and the others had written was coming true.

Skvorecky claimed (tastelessly many believe) that the Chernobyl disaster and the destruction of the Challenger space shuttle conformed to the pattern set by Stalin's scenario.

Skvorecky moved to America soon afterwards and married a Scientologist. He believes the alien invasion is ongoing."

Picked up cheaply, especially for BookCrossing purposes.

I'm planning to release it at this Tuesday evening's 'Banned Books'-themed BC Meetup - being held at The Brigantes in York from 7pm onwards... because, although not banned itself, it appears to be concerned with the subject of literary censorship to some degree or other (though, as I've not read it, I can't be sure to what degree!).

releasing, as promised...

Picked up at the September Bookcrossing meetup.

I'm afraid I didn't read this in the end - returning to the meetup!

To be released at the May York Bookcrossing meetup.
