Caught in the Current takes the reader on a magical mystery tour through offbeat Europe and ethnic America during the summer of 1970, a tumultuous period of free love and antiwar protests in America, but an equally revolutionary period in Alec’s life. Alec, on break from his college studies, arranges to go on an “Offbeat Europe” tour with his high school alma mater. As a member of a nationalistic Brotherhood, he agrees to gather information from dissidents while in Soviet Ukraine. He is ensnared by the KGB and forced to confront his troubled past...The novel captures the essence and flavor of this turbulent time – for both Alec and America – and deftly weaves it together with fascinating characters, exotic locales, and a scintillating, fast-paced plot.
