"? og dette skal bli var manelanding" Statsminister Stoltenbergs budskap til det norske folk i nyttarstalen 2006. Det var noe anebrytende som skulle skje, noe med fullskala rensing av CO2 pa vart nye gasskraftverk. Norge skulle igjen vaere foregangslandet. Men usserne, de trodde ikke at Var Manelanding handlet bare om CO2-fangst og umiddelbart fikk statsministerens nyttarshilsen et nytt fokus: Frykten for en rakettbase pa selveste Nordpolen. Denne boken tar for seg livet i skyggen av de hemmelige tjenestene pa sytti- og attitallet og utvikler seg til en krimspionroman med flere stormakter involvert, godt inn i det nye arhundret. Deler av handlingen refererer seg til forfatterens egne opplevelser. Men det meste er fiksjon. Reisen gar blant annet til Dracula-land i ksotiske Transilvania. Bestikkelser, forsok pa verving, overvaking, jaerlighet, brutte lofter, insest, selvmord og mord. Det er nok a ta av. Spenningen topper seg ved avslutningen i Moskva, i Bymarka, Trondheim og den nedlagte Grakallen flystasjon."
