"Ludlumesque. . .
Talanov is a wonderful character"

Welcome to the
Aleksandr Talanov website.


If you're seeking information on the signature protagonist of bestselling author, James Houston Turner, then you've come to the right place. Based on the actual KGB agent who leaked word out of Moscow in the 1980s that James was on a KGB watchlist for his smuggling activities behind the old Iron Curtain, Talanov made his debut in the USA Book News "Best Thriller of 2011," Department Thirteen (Comfort Publishing), which became an immediate bestseller.
